Hi Grant

Yes, I plan to try and fix the one I have, but may have found 5 of them NOS in a parts warehouse. Have not order them yet because they want to sell the master pack (all 5) at once. Now that I have discovered that I need two I'll probably just order the bunch.

Let you know how I make out.

Cheers Phil

When I was looking at options I started with replace the spring (in theory replacing one small part should be less wasteful than replacing the whole assembly, what can I say - I have a cheap streak in me). I also looked at complete new drain cocks.
They seem to be given part number DC601-8 by Parker Hannefin. Fastenal lists something similar as their part # 699963 and a functionally similar part can be found as 42-104 at apollovalves.com
If you end up with more drain cocks than you really want, I could be interested.

Hi Phil

Never ceases to amaze me how much you do flying solo...

Where did you tie you lifting chains to....... rear...? front something bolted to the side engine mount bolt holes..?

How about close up pictures of your own design built engine load equalizer.... most of what I have seen are too short and intended for V 8 short blocks.

I have a pesky little leak on the same valve, I'll take a closer look.

Hi Bob

Thought you might ask about how I do it well the trick is repetition and rigging. After reading your post I took a bunch more photos of the rigging and the tricks. Where to attach how to attach etc. just need to organize my process and the photos to tell the story.

Try and get them posted soon.

Cheers Phil
