Yes, I back flushed the block out when I put the new pump on as best I could. To do a full clean out I would have to pull the sleeves as these are wet sleeve engines., which is a pretty big project. I also back flushed out that radiator too, but its just so stopped up and as I found out was too rotten to survive being rodded out.

After a rough ride up on Friday night, with heavy rain, high winds and tornado warnings, the rest of the WE was great weather.
Matt brought up an excavator and got the area cleared for our bathroom attachment and to expand our old cabin while the girls (one of my daughters and one of Matt's daughters) helped out with cooking and other tasks.

We also started to replenish our firewood supply, which was very depleted from last winter. I dropped a good size dead Black Cherry and wacked it into 4 logs which Matt muscled onto our ATV trailer. I was very pleased that my old splitter, which was under a tarp with about 6 holes in it since last fall, started on the first pull!

We also took in the beautiful view from a neighbor's cabin, and he has some really nice toys! It is also where Matt unloaded the excavator he brought up, and left the trailer.

Put them along the highways where the trees are already down. Don't ruin pristine woodland mountains with new roads and thousands of trees permanently removed ... it makes no sense. Having to access those remote areas to do all the maintenance also makes no sense.
All this crap for the "Green New Deal" where the only thing getting green are the politicians bank accounts.
AI and EVs use massive amounts of electricity, and we are not improving the grid to handle it, and we are taking more power offline than we are putting online ... how do they square this circle???
This may not be right but I remember for every turbine put up 3.5 acres of farmland was lost. 80 to 100 turbines put up in this windfarm. Sure the landowner gets payment for the use of the land. But this land will never be usable again because there is like 100yd of concrete/rebar in the ground to hold it up. Make sure you have firewood for heat, garden and a hand pump for water for when the grid goes down. That is how I plan to square the circle..
Rev it up!
Wonder how long they are going to perpetuate that scam for?
Hi guys.
Busy weekend. Had a party at my house Friday (we had a singer to put on my friend's barge but it was miserable outside so he performed inside). On Saturday we helped some friends pack up to move to their vacation home (at ages 87 and 89 keeping two places was getting to be too much) and then cooked dinner for a fundraiser. Sunday we had my middle son's grad party at the house. Main fare was smoked chicken wings and boy did they turn out good.

There were 3 of those bastards in a field behind our storage buildings in Mackinaw City, Mi. They removed them this spring after about 15 years of service. Everyone who drove south across the Mackinaw Bridge saw them sticking up on the horizon and bitched about them destroying the view, including me.

Sorry, didn't think to put the saw in the picture for size reference. Didn't have much of the 36" bar sticking out past the walnut, and had to double pass the locust, which was very rotten, and sketchy, but went well. Ended up with a pull line in it, more wedges then id care to admit, but it went over where it needed to. All in all a good day, got to run some saws and help out a good guy.

3 truckloads from taking down the cherry tree at the neighbor's.
I didn't get a pic of the last load, so subtract anything you see in the first 2 pics and imagine the rest in the truck.

Not a good thing to find . The old engine in my 72 . The oil pressure would drop to about 5 psi on hard stops thought it was the aftermarket oil pan not having a baffle but it does. No scoring on the mains though they looked like new . Ordered a new pump shaft and pickup I will tig weld the pickup after I get set up
