Where is everyone?

Yep, US54 is my preferred route to Phoenix and Los Angeles in the summertime

 

Still at The Hot Rod Shop. Wheel bearings and wheel seals are done, on the steer. Bearing end play is set with a dial indicator. Fuel pump is on, injectors are in. Ran the overhead four times, before we were satisfied. Running smoother than it has in years. Oil and filters are changed. Gas generator is on. Had a little problem getting it to start, after setting up for over 6 months. But, fires on first pull, now. Fixed up the left tarp box, so crap doesn't get in the way of the bottom latch, anymore. Still need to change the fuel filters, driver's side spot mirror and hook up it's heater, resecure the microwave, finish laundry, buy groceries and cigarettes and file paperwork away. Then book a load for Monday, to parts unknown.

 

Did it fix the smoking issue you had?? Or is it the rings??

 

Of course, in the winter time I take the southern route and run 20/10

 

Told ya

 

Columbus Ohio @ transflo...loaded me heavy and wont let me leave so here i sit.

I'm starting to think that groundhog told a lie this year with this cold weather we have had lately...

 

Some of it. The rest is oil smoke from either rings or valve guides. I suspect valve guides. So these days an oil change consists of 10 gallons of oil and 6 large cans of Engine Restorer, instead of 11 gallons of oil.

Eyes don't burn as much now, so the over fueling is cut down.
