Another crawler?
I figure it's a $25 laser tach, but guessing another crawler *would* be a good one, wouldn't it?

progress?
this engine actually ran pretty good... good grief!
detroits have two valve springs, one on the valve and one on the pushrod. you don't normally see the pushrod spring. for you gas folk the middle pushrod, spring and rocker are for the injector. the outer ones are exhausts. yeah, that's right, two exhausts per cylinder. normal for detroits, unless of course you have four. guess which valve was sticking...
guess which cylinder was leaking into the water jacket? DDs are dry decked; individual o-rings for each cylinder, oil and water passage. so a cylinder has to leak past its own o-ring and penetrate another o-ring to get into the cooling system. no problem!
what happens when you put an oil pan on backwards? well, nothing at first... the "sump" on the oil pan tries to eat a hole in the skid plate but... the skid plate, being made of much heavier steel eats through the oil pan first. and if you're a complete idiot you take a torch and burn a new hole in the skid plate so you can change the oil. the little shiny dot is where the oil pan lost its will to hold back the flow. actually it was the crap inside the oil pan that held back the flow. don't think the idiot changed the oil much either.
on the other hand... this is the first fitting of my new ho' made draw bar... will have a three point hitch when finished. wonder if Lavoy has a cylinder bracket lying around somewhere?
this is a K&N cleanable reusable air filter. they come in a variety of sizes and shapes. my filter can had nothing in it and i don't think its worth the trouble. that's pvc pipe and fittings. i'll paint them when i paint everything else.

burning crawler photo op
i'm not the idiot that cut the hole in the bottom nor put the pan on backward so i missed that photo op. considering how much oily crap was in the skid plate...
