Where is everyone #5

Yes, you go past the bridge, past the visitors center then just before the guard post the badge office is on the right. Park behind it, there's room for 3 trucks IIRC. Who are you delivering to?

 

Just tryin to buy some time at this point. We are busy right now and I need to be running.

Found another N14 locally I can buy cheap. If I can get this one to get me by for a while, I’ll strip that other one down and have the block decked, counterbores cut, align bored, etc. then build it back up in spare time. That way it’s ready to go when needed.

 

It’s far from perfect but most of the bad stuff is between the heads

 

Do ya need me to run the head lock ??? I just sharpened my jack knife with the grinder wheel today. I got a bottle of penicillin in the barn cabinet.

 

Well you have a good plan there. Im gonna say this and I bet everyone is gonna hang me for this but put Irontite in her. Turn off the water filter and wash rad fill after putting it in. Don't get it on anything you don't want stuck together. Rumor has it esp. cummins and cat dealers use this in every engine they rebuild to Cover there butts. I will say the older big cams with upper press fit liners would wear and leak externally under higher boost. This will make her last awhile before rebuilding it and switching to lower press fit. Im not selling nor saying its a perminate fix. But this stuff will get you by when you need too. Im not proud but I have used it and it works. I put a bottle in a SBC to go out and start the race so we didnt loose points, finished a 25 laps, ran it two more races before it had a cast iron hemorrhage. Not my choice the driver wanted to keep running it. I limped a low liner in a detroit 12 months, The big cam about 12 months.

 

I haven't used that but have used Dyke. Course neither will help with compression getting past the fire ring. But a little for prevention after it's back together might not be a bad idea

 

I haven’t been leaking coolant at all. Just leaking compression to the outside. Had a loud chirp when on the throttle. No broken head bolts, just low liners not sealing up.

 

Yuuuup. Any truck can look good when you put in enough time, effort and money.
