Default Next Installment 235 up on test stand

Hi All

Well I now have two completely rebuilt engines to go into my 3 Ton CMPs.

I've got the 235 up and running on the test stand see http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.c...ineTesting.htm bottom of the page for some photos and of course video of the new engine running. Still breaking, I mean running the 235 engine in couple of minor little things to fix like one noisy exhaust valve rotator.

One point of interest from running on test stand the T that connects the oil filter line and oil pressure line to the block broke the other day, so much for reusing 50 year old brass parts, fortunately I was standing at the control panel and saw this straight black line appear between the side of the block and the wall about 10 feet away. In the short time to realize what was happening it pumped 2 quarts out of the engine.
