gee ... i forgot all about this thread ... i was going to suggest dropping a few *midol* tablets in the gas tank ... :boing: i had a buick a few years back that had water in the filter . swapped it out and dumped in a bottle of "heet" to get rid of any residual water/condensation . after a...

or , you could go with an external stand-alone oil pump ... electrically driven . that way you could pre-pressure the bearings and such before cranking the engine over ... just like the big boys . i am calling an outfit in sacramento today ... FAETH . they have a fair sized bone-yard and plenty of p...

went to walker ... a little bumpy today . the oil pressure on #2 was high on a cold start (as in buried needle) , after warm it went to the bottom end of the green . stopped for fuel (fosston was out) ... started back up and the oil pressure was well into the green to walker . stayed in walker a cou...
