Half a second slower for some reason?

Reason why it’s slower? One reason may be those slow runs could be used as the case for another HP reduction for that combo.

Hope you get Dumbo going and figured out.

I’m hope to be at the sports with Dumbo again. I have a lot to do.

How did that happen? Both generators and the motor home are all due for service before we go back out. Race car is ready for engine oil and filter change and the transmission is ready for the same treatment.

We have some grease fittings that won’t take grease, brake chamber that’s leaking, and a seal on the front diff that is leaking. We will have it back at the Cat House to finish repairs. I want my motor home to be able to pass a DOT over the road truck inspection.

The above picture is using a stroke checker and a modified spring checker to find a out when each spring goes into coil bind. Install all hardware on the head, measure with a height mike, subtract valve lift, and add shims. Piece of cake.

Thanks Ken
