Not really...it's got a small coolant leak on the left side of the motor by the freeze plug but that's it

This is how I felt after leaving the Philly, NJ, NYC area. Egg Noodles & Ketchup

Made in Milton Pa because of the Tomato's. Our neighbor Ray Bowersox used to have a contract to haul for them. He was Milton Transportation and I kinda remembering him owning an IH dealership. His antique collection was huge, and really nice stuff like this too. He had a 707 gas powered LJ that looked brand new. I think it was a national first place winner https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/hf12/lots/r101-1931-duesenberg-model-j-barrelside-dualwindshield-phaeton-by-lebaron/

Giving it a second read, first line is "unemployment claims". At 5? Doubtful... Could be an overly broad DOGE statement...

I'll give a certain benefit of the doubt regarding those under 5: severe disabilities? I suspect this DOGE post is overly broad, there's probably circumstances that could warrant sub 5 year olds receiving some form of some vague entitlement program within social security to offset some disability they were born with. I have a daughter (2 years old) on state insurance to cover county provided Early Intervention therapies. She got stuck during birth and has some oddities resulting. Just wrapped up 1.5 years of physical therapy, working on speech therapy now.

If those bolt holes are dimpled in, you want to take a big flat punch and drive them out a little. Also make sure the shouldered bolts screw all the way into the rocker shaft mounts and the shoulder sits tight on the mount. Lots of times incorrect washers get used on the bolts holding the rocker shafts to the cylinder head and the rocker cover bolt bottoms out on the incorrect washer.

Now I want to put googly eyes on my trucks and see how long it takes people to notice

Matlack also had a large fleet of R models very similar..

i can even remember back talking the girls parents,,,,i look back now and think really,,,,,what the hell was i thinking,,,,bob

hendries ice cream used to run those setup the same way,,,i think they were also the same color,,,i cant seem to find pictures of them anywhere they even had a commercial with one of thier tankers in it,,,bob

ooh me too it looks brand new

The Dogs whatsits....that rig looks pure class......im droolin lookin at it... Paul

Safe bet most of us have been there.

already looking for excuses to sit down,lol...gorgeous day,,,im running out of storys..lol.bob

Can you use a propane torch with care to heat the old gasket to soften it up.

Bob.... I did not use sealer at this time. When i am sure that i will not remove the covers again, i may put a light coating on one side of the gasket, however, the rubber gaskets were good quality.

NOW easy on the Polish thing!!! WE are selective as to who is allowed to be POLISH> Polish and Proud just don't say it tooo loud !!🤣🍺🍺

now if you move a small table in front of the TV /chair and bring out the DM800 ; you can still give positive updates on "DM progress" . watch TV and build a model. LOL

high hopes for update on this unit, if the smoke was billowing out breather before you put truck in neutral ; the engine reversing was taking place. with the neutral action you basically gave the engine free roam to run backwards. with running backwards you put transmission in direct/1st unit moved backwards . could this be a 5X4 transmission. if you are talking a '78 RS ; could be set up with a quad. shut down and restart is proper procedure

Yes, that’s what I’m hoping for otherwise like the guys are saying you really don’t need anything on them. Well, I better get outside before it turns into one another TV session ha ha

I thought you were Polish Yeah amazing how fast I went from thinking I was going to get my baton twirled by a hot Irish chick to cleaning up purple SpaghettiOs. Worst part was I promised I'd have her home by 11

that happens when someone uses a tube of silicone PER cover. yes have seen excessive goop used. besides the silicone / indian sealant ; I used a red adhesive :: HIGH TACK = not as bad as the Indian sealer . no need for tons of it . light film on cover; set gasket in place . rubber gasket goes no where when installing covers.

Yes, trying to get those cork gaskets off with too much sealer is a real pain in the ass… I remember fighting with those things quite a bit back in the 70s on car engines

remember that stuff back in the day of CORK gaskets. it held well : but you sure did not appreciate it if you were on the clean the valve covers next time. rubber gaskets of today I.ve always used silicone sealer ;;;; light film only!!! what I have been doing {for years} is to take a small center punch and put numerous divets in the base of the valve cover first. they act as "holders" for the rubber gasket.
