What's been done for "decades" isn't acceptable by manufacturers any longer in many cases. On lots of the newer diesel equipment we have in the...
It most definitely will. We rent generators, mainly to contractors. Since they're not typically engineers or electricians, they often rent more...
Sorry, but that's ridiculous. Vibration you can "see" is one thing....a modern diesel doesn't shake as much as earlier ones do if we're talking...
If that's the case, they're laughing all the way to the bank. We use a 50/50 mix of water and propylene glycol in our ground thaw machines like...
powerabout, my reply was in response to this: That statement makes it seem as if all seats are pressed in, and that isn't the case. Plenty of...
Lots of examples can be found of "labeling the same product differently", but that isn't what's going on here. If we look at the parts manuals for...
Why would they still produce DF and WG versions of the same engine? Why would they offer up advice themselves as to how to properly swap out the...
It is done all the time, but I wouldn't do it without the okay from the engine manufacturer themselves. On another forum I frequent, a member...
These are available just about anywhere that sells small engine stuff: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/hour_meter.cfm
Thanks for including the "...errrr". It's just a continuation of the condescending tone you've taken all along. My tenacity is completely due to...
Once again...I never said it was. Do yourself a favor and re-read everything I've posted, and the manner in which you've replied. You're upset,...
Yeah, once again...nice try. Read my original post. Then read your original reply. Then read my follow-up, and your follow-up. You could...
But it's not. It's out of an extremely common C-4 automobile automatic. I guess it's evident then that there are examples you haven't seen....
Yes it is. It's the park pawl in a C-4. Scroll through the photos here and you'll see it:...
Park pawls do a good job at holding a shaft once it's already stopped, but they don't stop shafts from rotating all that well. If they did,...
They do have thrust bearings, but those thrust bearings are not there to do what a thrust bearing in a marine transmission is doing. Is the...
I'm thinking it's unnecessary. I *kind of* asked the question to see what kind of "boat stuff" one of the experts would post. Usually when...
The oil pump situation is another thing that comes up frequently in these "marinizing" threads. My question is this: If you source an engine...
I think that's only where a small part of the confusion comes from. A much larger issue, is the use of terms like "special". A simple search of...
You'll hear all sorts of marine engine nonsense, and the sad part is that much of the confusion is "fed into" by marine mechanics. I don't think...
