Great party - Too bad I couldnt have came the next day to get greasy... Sorry guys, maybe next time! I did have fun around the bon fire though! Thanks BigK!

 

:-[Found out what the pop was<br>and the oil leak. It is the tappet cover leaking. After doing a search on TDR for tappet cover gasket, I found it is not uncommon for them to leak after a KDP fix. I think if I were to do it again I would pass on the air. I know that the air pressure was check by at least 2 of us and was not over 3<br>pounds.<br>So, the dealer wants over $600 to replace gasket. I'm going to do it myself. Anybody got any tips. It looks like I have to remove the complete fuel system on that side.<br><br>TC

 

when do you plan to start? I will gladly lend a hand...I am available this tuesday.....if that is not too far out.

TC, I know I speak for Eric when I say that shop space and help is here if needed. <br><br> Joe

 

Terry has been contacted. Updates to follow. Thanks Joe. I've been scarce lately.

 

I'm on my way to Cummins NW in about 5 min to get any seals, gaskets, o-rings etc. that I might need. <br>I'm up for Saturday morning if it works for you Eric.<br>That is if You and Joe can refrain from excessive whatever the night before . You guys weren't looking to good the last time I saw you .<br>Let me know what time.<br><br>Terry

 

Saturday morning 8:00 am. ;D We'll be bright eyed and rarin to go. We'll keep it cool on Fri. nt., no more 4:30 am bed times for us. 8) And by the way TC, Eric looked and felt a lot worse than I did. <br><br><br> CYA Saturday

 

And by the way TC, Eric looked and felt a lot worse than I did.

Joe, I would have to agree :P
Thats probably why he spent so much time on his back under the truck
See you Saturday, TC

 

Can't dispute the truth. <br>Can't say whether it was the last brew, or the late(early) bedtime, and subsequent lack of sleep, but I have felt better.<br>We sure had a good time Friday night, though. <br>When was the last time you heard &quot; Monkberry Moon Delight&quot;? Can anyone tell me the artist? / album? (yes, vinyl!)<br><br>Time is 9am, Sat. If you'd like to stop by and learn more about your CTD, this would be a unique opportunity.<br><br>

I ever need to R&amp;R my VP44, I could sure use the expertise of someone who has done it before! Thanks for using your truck as a guinea pig, Terry! <br><br>You are in good hands, Terry. I have seen no shop finer than Eric's. Proper tools galore &amp; in-house fabrication to boot! ;D ;D 8)

 

Paul McCartney.

 

Eric, I may stop by on Sat. to help, learn, or just get in the way a little. ;D :<br><br>Nathan

 

Time is 9am, Sat. If you'd like to stop by and learn more about your CTD, this would be a unique opportunity.<br><br> Sure Eric, kind of like whitewashing a fence, I like it ;D<br>Come on by guy's, I would welcome the help. I'll even buy lunch.<br><br>Terry

 

Well done, Ramflasher. Not many would know that. Name the album?<br>I know, all too easy. If 'ya know the tune, 'ya gotta know the album. One of my fav's.<br><br>Well, I could not resist, so I put my owm projects on hold, and dove in alongside of Terry. Joe(NAIL BENDER) was right there with us, and Nathan(nblack) was present to supervise :. Not to mention our neighbor, MIke.<br><br>Step by step, and now all is well. No more leak. Problem was obvious once there. Not rocket science, but you need to have a clue before attempting this job.<br><br>Thanks to Terry for the opportunity to learn, and for having the ***** to attempt this with us. Thanks for lunch, also.<br><br>We be happy campers hereabouts! ;D <br><br><br>
