    Sometimes It's not about the money that gets throw at a motor
    It's about the knowledge the guy doing the wrenching has

    An overhaul is only as good as the guy that did it, you got that right.

    Indeed!

    And I just change parts, so I have to rely on others to help. @wore out has spent a lot of time helping me, and a lot of others.

    I’ll be the first to say, I don’t hardly know anything about a yellow motor, but I’m familiar and comfortable with the old Big Cams, so I still run them. I’ve driven Cat powered trucks over the years, and honestly can’t say a bad thing about them….

    That’s one Cat I’d sure like to keep, it would be like a pocket on a shirt with those forks….
