More new engine follies

[johnny]

ARRRGHHHHH! I am regarding the smoking hole in my foot. I caution folks, check the parts afore you install them. Took the radiator and had it
cleaned and checked, mostly so the guy could run his hot fluid cleaner through the oil cooler in both directions. Filter cloth showed no metal
particles either way, just a bit of carbon color at first which quickly came clean. So, ready to reassemble the thing, but I hadn't found a fault. I
hate putting anything that busted back together till I know what busted... because it will likely do it again. Well, how 'bout the fan ass'y itself?
It's Daimler-Benz, high quality control, etc. I don't know who their supplier is, but QC Inspector #4 can kiss my arse as the Brits say, since his
stamp is on the clutch assembly. The clutch coil is open. So, off comes the adapter, the removed pieces go back on the shroud and the original fan
and clutch go back on. Since I got the M-B one off the net many months ago, I don't think warranty is in order. New thermostat is being held in its
package, the removed one opens regularly at 180 according to my IR thermometer. New steering pump works, and I now assume the new water pump works.
I'll find out next week.

Johnny:

In a couple of weeks there will be a lot of guys (and gals) who have all considered the smoking hole in their foot at a confab in Mansfield, Ohio.

Those who claim they have not are being less than candid.

Remind me to tell you about the first engine I built in three decades…..

Onward! You’ll get it.
