    trailer dolly?

    This idea actually has some merit to it.. I'm gonna try to draw something up along this idea. I wonder if pulling with a winch if it will turn the trailer straight to. I assume this would work actually...

    trailer dolly?

    The math just doesnt work we have a row of bushes that obstruct backing it in. basically at 39' with truck and trailer I only have 30' of space from front to back so i dont think a front hitch option will work but a good idea. I've tried getting it there multiple times cutting it every which...

    trailer dolly?

    Hi Horigan, Thanks for that. Have you tried any of the manual dollies? I was curious if it was just to much to push around manually or not. But I do like these I'm sure it will save my back. But ya I want something I think with robust wheels to ease over some gravel if possible. My driveway is...

    what is make and model?

    Hi Fat Lenny, MOST of the time these types of smaller rigs are custom built. There are some old timers here in northern OH that made similar tunnel type boats for racing. Not sure on exact make but talking to some of these guys could help determine what all your rig is capable of. Looks like a...

    Inline 6 250, 165hp water in oil

    Just run water through it. let it dry before installing it again if it passes. Aceton just dries quicker thats why the guys are using it. Just so they can install it quickly if it passes.

    Old manifold question

    Correct! And this setup may bolt up and work.. But I'd have to see it. The OEM Part numbers are different. I'd just buy new I wouldnt mess with anymore used Manifolds its just not worth it. These engines will take a lot of abuse but when your trying to clear up a problem its best to just...

    Riser hole (milky oil?)

    Hey all just to keep you updated on my story going on here: the guy that will probably eventually rebuild it said he wouldn't use the gaskets I have so in one last ditch attempt I am going to put on a reman head and gaskets with new oil and see where that takes me. So with that I tested the...

    Riser hole (milky oil?)

    One other thing to note when I took a flashlight and looked inside the block I saw water but not a lot. I didn't see oil on the water side though... not sure if that means anything or not.

    Riser hole (milky oil?)

    This is the most questionable spot in my mind but let me know what you guys think. Could the issue be deeper in the block? Or could this have had caused it?
