  1. good thing you were not eating oreos before you did it. Suuuuuuure it was your friend Pikey bastards are too cheap and lazy to either use lube or get them wet in the first place. BTW don't get too fat, you won't be able to slip outthe bedroom window when their parents get home. Caravan windows are not very large on older models hehehehe
  2. I found the check valve to be fine, I can easily blow through it.
  3. Both pistons and heads were gunked up. I will post pics brb
  4. Breakfast burritos for everyone! You might drive the truck, but it will never quit finding it's way to a DZ You will be ruining the guts of every skydiving bag that is lured to the smells.
  5. My Navy friend has been treated like a Yo-Yo, go away, come back and repeat. I guess I will be holding onto his retirement gift until his uncle sam decides to make up his senile mind. Doesn't it make you wonder sometimes?
  6. Soon my friend, very soon. The days should fly by. Then just think, time on your hands, time for travel with your family, skydiving whenever you feel like it. Heck you can even sleep til noon if you want to.
  7. I got the cylinder heads off, and found no carbon marks indicating blow by on the gaskets. I found the cylinder walls in beautiful shape, and the valves and piston tops absolutley caked with carbon from burning the oil. I am certain it had to be either the rings, or valve stem seals...or both. (302 hours running time ) This has turned to a real pain in the ass. I will be taking the heads to the shop tommorrow and ask how much for the valve lapping etc.(dealer shop which will probably try and rip me off) I guess I could clean the chamber up by lightly glass beading it, and try lapping the valves and seats myself, or have my machinist friend do it. Again any suggestions?
  8. probably real, I can't tell from what I saw. I would however think that a .50BMG would pierce the steel and not have comeback. Ricochets happen. if the bullet was not a FMJ and was of some softer material this could happen. Never shoot target you cannot pierce at close ranges.
  9. The two long muscles along the spine are teh tenderloins. What the ones on the inside are is actually an inside skirt steak. Tenderloins are located on the spine and that is how you get a porterhouse on a beef. There is a strip steak on one side and a ribeye on the other. The ribeye consists of an inner and outer flap seperated by a bit of fat and connective tissue(on a beef) The inner part is what is Filet Mignon, the ends are either made into chateu briand or left as tenderloin tips. the inside skirts are really tender as they are not used much. Also think of it this way, they are shaped incorrectly if they were tenderloin they are elongated and somewhat cyndrical. I hope that clears up the issue
  10. Thanks once again, I found a small amount of what appears to be carbon in the pushrod galley @ the gasket area.(both cylinders) It is not much, but is probably the culprit.
  11. can you give me a diagram or drawing of what you are speaking of? I have been processing my own deer for years, and assisted in butchering beef when I was a kid. I have never seen any part called backstrap, maybe it has another name? Yep, no doubt any back part of a deer, elk, or beef is going to have a tough muscle on it's back. They are not beasts of burden.
  12. It's a TENDERLOIN, please don't sound like Billy Joe Jimbob. I get tired of hearing of how to "make backstraps tender" Or "Make them not so gamey tasting" there are too many people out there on TV trying really hard to sell snakeoil recipes. BTW the rest of my post was not directed at you
  13. I will inspect before doing anything Got any idea of the torque specs on the head bolts?
  14. I am aware of that. In the words of my longtime friend, who actually lives on a reservation "If Ward Churchill is an Indian, I am an Eskimo"
  15. It may have been said but then again, that is a politician speaking. If he had some voracity to his claims a Chief would have probably said so. I mean, that is their job right?
  16. Much like his claim of being a Native American, only no Chief will claim his sorry ass. I guess Ward Churchill forgot to find out one thing. Native Americans know who's who. He is nothing more than a sorry ass whiteboy trying to be an Indian. He should have quit while he was merely beating off to Billy Jack movies in the 70's I guess he never figured out that "Pole Smoker" was not a proper Indian name DSE I bet you will split your sides laughing after that one!
  17. Is that how you view me???? If it is, you may not be as open minded and insightful as you think you might be. If not,disregard this.
  18. That is an insult to pigs and dogs everywhere. You owe those fine animals an appolgy
  19. If this guy turns up dead, does there need to be any investigation? The list of possible suspects would be in the millions. It does not have to be the deed of the family members, it could be any outraged person.
  20. setup a game camera like the ones for scouting deer. When it happens again call the postal inspectors, when the idiots get out of prison they will be spending a fortune on depends. It is a federal offense to mess with anything related the the US MAIL. once that mailbox is put up it is no longer yours, is belongs to the US Postal Service. You are to maintain and replace it when neccessary. We had some "Gangstas" threaten a Postman (My friend and former resident of the base at Khe Sahn) The idiots were not too happy when the postal inspectors arrived.
  21. Leesville was a true shithole. That was my impression and I judged that by my experiences in Shitcago during the late seventies.
  22. Thanks you guys have been a huge help. I did not find a online schematic of this motor so was wanting to know what I was getting into before tearing the headgaskets off. Thanks once again.
