i could not take it any longer and slipped out to buddy barry's shop and popped the valve cover off. then i ran the engine and it is the front 2 line on the pump that don't make much difference when the engine is running. so i when to the storage trailer and took the pump off the parts engine. on thursady i change the pumps and see if that makes a differnce. these pumps are like IH crawler pumps and just line up the marking gears (this has a flat gear)???? also how do you set the valves since the rocker arm has and adjust and so do the valves??? also how do you set the raocker arm that has the big end on it??? the tg on the engine says E6-350 serial number 6W0161 valve setting intake .016 exhaust .024 on a cold motor. also 3 days ago the phone tower here burnt to the ground so the nearest phoneis 300 kms away. they say it will be 2 weeks before we have phone services back plus, bank machines, interact, and internet. good thing i have my own high speed dish. the joys of living in the great white north. thansk KoO Published Author
