Use that stuff to soak the injectors or pour in top of cylinders? I put the marvel in cylinders to soak top side of rings and pistons. I haven't done anything with injectors

hhh..... my bad.... miss understood... though any of those would be good for soaking cylinders if you chase it with Marvel to prelube before running engine.... and change oil cause an of them will contaminate your oil.

S..T!! I forgot this is the day of THE big unit vehicle inspection team. ooops.
Still. got the 'work ticket' let's go...well, this route to revovery takes me past the O.C.s office..And of course THE dreaded RSM. regimental sergeant major.
We have a tank aboard of course so lot's of engine noise..

Round the office leading to the parade ground and to the way

Yes, I have had to put in a little time at the ol salt mine. I will send pictures in a little while. I went over and put a final coat of JD Blitz black on the bumper a bit ago. I really like the RAPCO OD paint. Especially if the gallons lay down as good as the rattle cans. I rattle caned the back door to see if I liked the color and paint. I think this is what we used to call foreplay! BAHAHAHAHA

Another great day with the green stuff. Swapped all 10 tires and wheels with best we could find. This one had fluids so just topped everything off for now. She towed a little better than the shop van guessing weight and aerodynamics. Now to get everything running moving and stopping.

Thinking that the girls are home now I will close this one down and move to the deuce section and share my learning curves as we bring them back to the land of the living. Maybe someone can benefit from our experiences. Think we will call it The tale of two Deuces.
