I'd try drilling, heating, cooling, then heating again and easy out. Try the easy outs that are a tapered square shape with 4 sharp edges as opposed to the left hand tapered twist type. If the remaining wall of the glow plug is thin, the left hand twist ones tend to expand the diameter, thus...

Yes, I was also just about to say the samething.... be careful talking about upcoming auction events, it's against the rules, so don't go into any more detail. The best I can imagine is that they used a single, universal amperage / altitude / temp tag on all models (With the ASK, since the tag...

Gordon, are the tags you are showing from the unit you want to buy next?? looking at that tag shown it is a J.R Hollingsworth 60hz MEP-004A, not a 400Hz MEP-113A. I think I'm getting confused as to which pictures are of your current unit and which are the unit you want to buy. Your last set of 3...

Looks like a universal data plate. You can't produce both 400hz and 50/60hz from the same machine. I believe that data plate was used on both -004A and -113A in addition to another data plate. There should also be another one listing the model number, manufacturer, date of manufacture...

Hello Gordon, welcome to the forum. I think I know what you are talking about with the 50-60hz/400Hz dataplate. I've seen data plates that indicate the weight of the generator that list both the weight of a 50/60hz and a 400hz machine, but there is another data plate on the machine that tells...

A couple years ago my wife bought me a HF ball joint press for Christmas. First time I tried using it ( Ford F350 ball joints ) the P.O.S bent and I had to return it. Now I have an OTC which is made out of hardened steel (powder coated in a silver/aluminum color ) and it will take all the force...

Not sure why I can't get pictures to show up... guess its back to the picture posting wiki for me!

I've got 3 002's ( built between 85' and 89') and they all have it. In the TM page DieselBob showed it looks like it might be an integral part to the back plate, but in other images of the TM it shows a flat back plate and no drip pan under the filter housing.... Maybe there were 2 different...

The problem you're going to run into is that typically the only way to remove the scratches is to color sand ( 1500 grit ) and buff them out with compound and a buffer.... however, on a semi gloss finish this will also turn that area into a gloss finish. aua The only possibility I can think of...

Hey Ike, did you order one of the square analog gages that will cover the entire existing hole? I'd be interested to know how that one fits. I have used the small rectangular panel mount digital Hz/volt gages before. It worked well but requires you to fab up and adapter plate to fit the existing...

A friend of mine who restores antique outboard motors ( with plenty of rusty and frozen fasteners ) is a firm believer in heating and cooling the nasty looking fasteners a few times before trying to unscrew them. He heats them up with a torch, then sprays them with ice water, then repeats... He...

:ditto: I'll give another vote for selling it. There has to be plenty of shops that would buy it for way more than the value of 55gl of diesel. Do you have spesific information as to the brand name and type of cutting oil? It would be useful to advertise as much info as possible and check what...

As suggested above, PPG's DPLF line of Epoxy primer is the best way to go, however its a bit pricey. Check your local paint supply shop and see if they carry PPG's Omni line of automotive paints. The Omni Epoxy primer is much more economical and also made by PPG. As for topcoat I've used POR 15...

:ditto: Who knows.... the "Y" fitting might even create a slight scavenging effect and make it run better! Definitely can't forsee any problem with it...

With fiberglass you also tend to have problems caused by different expansion rates between fiberglass and steel, especially on dark colors when exposed to the sun. Might not be an big issue in this application, but it can cause undesireable, noticeable seams when used in a show car applications...

Guess I missed the broken ring part, but still, I don't think starting it for a few seconds will cause any additional damage, as long as he's able to kill the air supply in case of a run away situation. Maybe there's a way to check the IP functionality without starting it, not sure myself, if so...

Maybe it would be worth trying to start it again and try manually pushing down on the linkage at the IP to verify if the linkage is having any affect on engine speed or not? Have someone else there ready to shut it down if things get out of hand and have the air intake tube off and a rag handy...

Its JimC fron NJ that makes the plastic rod ends, as well as some other parts. He has them for sale here as well as on e-bay.

Thanks... Actually I have used SEM's epoxy panel adhesives several times. I like using it in areas that wouls be prone to rusting from the back side if you were to weld in a patch panel. The Ford Super Duty pickups for example rot out around the wheel wells a lot, so if I put in a weel well...

I've got 3 MEP-002A's and all 3 spark when connecting the batteries. I've always assumed it was a leaky cap on the regulator like others mentioned. My solution was to get $6 battery disconnect terminals ( battery terminal with a green knob on it) from Harbor freight and install on the wire...
