While you guys are all arguing about which of our worthless political factions is worse I've been hard at work putting a snowmobile engine back together.
It had leaking crank seals which is an easy way to lean out your mixture and burn down a piston. Lucky for me one of the seals leaked on the points and dirtied them so I lost spark before I got into too much trouble. I pulled the engine on the 2nd, new seals came shortly after but of course as soon as I started tearing into it I realized I needed a gasket I hadn't ordered. That came yesterday. Today I put it all back together. I sealed the case halves with the leftover Hylomar from the 240D head gasket job. (MB content) In fact that job helped me in 2 ways, I wanted to chase the threads in the case and used the tap set I bought for the 240D job. Actually now that I think of it, I bought the rubber gloves for the 240D job and Fred bought the rags I used for final cleaning on the case halves... Anyway I want to let the hylomar thicken over night, it never really hardens after all and I still need to clean the points again. DeoxIT to the rescue! -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
