    I wouldn't replace a cam without all new followers. You got the pan down already, roll rods and mains in it. Cheap insurance

    Yeah I was a bit confused by that at first. Seems that it is 2 different companies, founded by the same guy.

    Don't forget the tin foil hat needs a ground. You have to have a trailing ground like an old tanker dragging a chain

    I think I'd just put a Signal Stat (7 wire) in it. Especially if anything is wrong with it.

    Here is the company that built the pump. I remember them in Trenton NJ. Sid Sussman (RIP) bought the site for a new home for Certified Steel. Hard to find much info on the pump. There is a claim that it pulled water through 7,000 feet of suction line at one fire. I would think just the friction head would be enough to cause bad cavitation through that much suction hose

    I have no doubt it worked as designed. I was just thinking about Parts and ease of repair. That would have me prefer an EMD or something from one of the big US engine manufacturer (On Edit) I'm wondering if it was an RPM thing. As you lower the speed of a centrifugal pump, the impeller diameter has to get larger. The Deltec revved kinda high for an engine of it's size

    You would think that something from EMD would have been a better engine to use than the Napier Deltic. I think Gibbs was a big time fan of British Navel Vessels, so that probably swayed his choice to the Napier Deltic when he designed the thing

    Can you imagine how long it took to get the stink of Colt 45 and Newports out of the White House in 2016?

    When AOC first got elected she did a live stream in her DC apartment, assembling Ikea furniture, drinking box wine, and eating handfuls of popcorn chewing with her mouth open. I was thinking that back in the day she would have totally been my type.

    In the early 60's all we had was VHF 3, 6 and 10. My uncle got a bunch of these converter boxes somewhere and came over and hooked one up on our TV, then we got 17, 29, and 48 UHF channels. I remember sitting on the floor with my cousin and we were thrilled that it was all cartoons.

    Hook a gauge up where the fuel line goes into the pump, and take it for a run to see what the fuel pressure is doing. If you don't do that, you are just firing the parts cannon

    The ones I did I used silver solder, but that stuff is crazy expensive now. I had a lot of it at one time because I bought a service truck from a refrigeration co and they left like 5 pounds of it all over the bottom of the tool bins. Now I have some but I keep it locked up in my desk drawer

    Years ago I bought some PAI lines for 237s and I had problems like that and they leaked. I had a fleet from a steel company that whoever worked on them before wasn't careful about the clamps and brackets. I bought a bunch of those PAI ones for stock because they were cheap

    I've got to save this link. I've had to make lines before and had to scrounge through junk piles to find stuff

    This music vid had a U Model flying NEMF colors. Little Miss NEMF, Nancy Shevell is now Mrs Paul McCartney

    Hopefully it isn't bad stuck, or stuck at all. I rebuilt one like 25 years ago and parts were hard to find and kinda pricey. I think if I was going to tear it down I'd only go as far as rings, bearings, and grind the valves. Hell that was all we did to them when they were in working trucks and they held up until the cabs rotted off the trucks from the damn salt

    I think one of the old timers told me it's a 450 RD before I dug it out of the weeds. I had a 501 and it had a 4 BBL carb on it. To tell you the truth I haven't even checked to see if it's stuck. Everybody told me it ran. It belonged to a shop right across the street from me. They were losing the property over long term health care bills, and they gave it to me for helping them load out all the stuff they wanted with my backhoe and moving their storage trailers
