Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Another bump in the road for Dumbo. I’m trying to get our new, to us, trailer ready to go to the Columbus.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Pulled a few pistons out and was pleasantly surprised on how well the bearings looked. One set looked like they were just oily no distortion on the finish. Piston skirts with very little trash in them, maybe it’s the roller lifters helping to keep the cam trash to a minimum.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We changed rod bearings last time to a different brand and it has seem to greatly reduce the micro welding of the shell to the bore of the rod.
Purchased a Harbor Freight 1/2 ton engine stand what a disappointment. Instead of the engine with a nose up angle it’s a prominent nose down position. Not a good product. I know, I know, what did I expect! |
