May be so, may be not, but the process has to be followed to amend, it can't be done by one persons stroke of a pen! 1st it has to go though congress, then approved by 75% (I think) of the states by popular vote.

You can't become a citizen the moment you are allowed into the country, it can take years, for the process to work though. It is 100% legal to be a resident alien. Those who are permanent aliens, are not prevented from having kids until they are citizens! Children of these people are citizens if they are born here.

Most came and took 12-17 or more years to become naturalized, in the mean time worked and started a family, those children were citizens via birthright, even if their parents remained resident aliens. I know plenty, some in my extended family, that never became citizens, they were resident aliens, held a "green card" paid taxes etc, just couldn't vote.

As I said both sides need to respect the constitution, otherwise we end up snapping from one extreme to the other. The right always brings up the 2nd amendment when firearms are talked about, the left in this case it is the 14th. You can't argue that the founding fathers (the 14th was after the civil war) didn't know about immigration but by the same hand could foresee all the new firearms! Constitutions are rigid for a reason, hard to change without bringing the country together to decide. As I said, both side of the isle need to learn this lesson.

But for birthright citizenship, very few of us would be citizens today, most of our ancestors came from somewhere else. I know my mothers family came around the turn of the last century, but both her and her sister were born here and US citizens.

My point is birthright citizenship is a right conferred by the constitution, if you want to end it, you have to do so through amending the constitution. Our constitution is not something that you obey when it is convenient and ignore when you don't like what it says. As you point out, if you are in another country you are subject to their laws, that is precisely what the 14th amendment says. IF you are subject to US law and born in this country, you are a citizen. It conveys citizenship to the child born here not the parents.

No, you want to ignore the constitution because your man disagrees with it. If you want to end it then do it right, via the constitution amendment process. We don't have kings the can rule by fete, both sides need to learn this lesson. You can't have it both ways, the "illegals" are subject to US law and can be evicted but are not covered by the constitution that says anyone born to people subject to US law is a citizen. So children of Diplomats or their staff are not US citizens, regardless of being born here, they are citizens of their own country. All others are subject to US law, and if they are born in the US are citizens.

It is more easy to sell an O/O on something new and different than a fleet. They want all the same, no changes. A fleet full of half one way and half another, along with slip-seating is a recipe for an unhappy customer.

If you are pressurizing the crankcase, it will pressurize the WHOLE crankcase, not just the acc drive. Change the gasket unless you have massive blowby out of the crankcase breather.

The two tanks should be T'ed off of the wet tank. So a stuck check on the inlet (not likely) or a leak at the the brake treadle valve or other part of the primary system. Plug off the outlet of the primary and see if it builds.

It would seam that way if Dynatard heads had recessed valve seats and regular did not, trying to gain a little room between the valves and piston,

Not at all, new engines do just that, but cutting fuel does nothing to retard. when you hand crank an engine on compression, then past TDC, the engine kicks even if it never fires. By opening the exh valve just before TDC you get all the compression effort but dump the "kick" after TDC. The kick is caused by the pressure you built up moving the piston up now acting to push it down. by dumping the pressure, there is nothing to push the piston back down.

Jake on a Cummins, is operated (opening trigger) off the injector push rod, which is about 19 deg BTDC (yes it changes from model to model). If you open before compression, then you get no or very little resistance It is the compression that provides all the retarding effort, by opening the exh right before or at the injection time, there is no or little ignition and by holding the exhaust off the seat, there is no power returned to the crank like there would be if the valve stayed closed, after the piston passes TDC. Opening before compression, you have no compression, and little to no resistance to revolution in the crank.

I disagree with this statement, it holds the exhaust valve open just before power stroke, it allows for compression but not power.

I have successful bought from them in the past, but prices are high, and would not be my 1st "go to" place, They do seam to have some of the more "odd ball" parts.

here it is: https://www.partdeal.com/cole-hersee-dp-2-circuit-marker-lamp-switch-12vdc-dpdt-boxed-55071.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq--qdZhGYxWZBGhDjNAzT-eQJHLlTIeyEScZC1kPGRy-FOz2bH edit: Not finding any in stock, so may be hard to find and N.O.S. being the only option.

Somewhere I have a Cole Hersee book that has the switch and the wiring for that. IIRC it had 3 positions, center was off. Found it! (not in current Cole Hersee catalog) Sw number 55071 Had 3 terminals on the rear, Battery, Marker light feed, and common out to the marker lights. Flashed on for daylight, off for night time, by moveing the switch in opposite directions, spring loaded to center (normal) position. Cole Hersee's version worked with lights on or off.

I'll add mine with the caveat that I have never driven with one. The design, in theory is a sound one, use a purpose designed "lump" on a cam to open the exh valve at the right time to"dump"compression. Cummins touted this with the release of the ISX. Problems abound with execution. How much lift can you have at TDC? how much mfg tolerance can the design have and still function well? How much "extra"weight can the rocker system take and not float at high speed" How well with the oiling system meet the demands that the system requires? I can see all the potential of the design, but have no experience with the execution.

I don't know, if I'm not careful Paul may make the trip to put a lump on the side of my head!😄

That doesn't make it murder, nor does it absolve her actions. It is lucky she was the only one.

Not what you said, tho

Aslhi died because she made a stupid choice. She forced entry in to restricted area, as an ex military person she should have known that it might be met with lethal force. Same if she tried to force entry to the White House, a military installation, or even a restricted section of an airport! I sorry she died, but it was her actions. The fact that more weren't shot has much more to due with the lack of manpower and equipment than any legal restraint. I am more concerned about people shot by police in their beds during "No Knock" entry. Breyana Taylor was killed in her apt, a sleep without anything happening to those that killed her. Yes, her boyfriend opened fire on what he thought (do to no advance warning they were police) was a home invasion. Ashli was forcing entry to a restricted area, what happen can easily be anticipated. The fact that you sympathize with her political views doesn't change the fact that her actions were what cause the response.

I think he was talking cam (valve cam) timing.

Don't want you coming over and giving me a lump upside the head!

re-reading it does seam different valves were used, knob not fitting the new valve is a dead give-a-way that the valves are not the same. I think someone who knows and is close by is going to be needed to sort this out.
