how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

My daughter said that just popped up on her facebook this morning. Why it would show up on her facebook when she is in Georgia & that was in Minnesnowda, I have no idea.

Well, I've decided to just rebuild the engibe in the new to me Van. Ford V10 will be a new experience for me. Fortunately I have Ford technical knowledge in the family.
It'll have to get a crankshaft. #1 journal is toast.
Been dealing with O'Reilly to get a reconditioned one and after all said and done it was going to run me about $425. My son did some checking at the parts dept where he works. They've ordered me a brand new crankshaft. $500.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with TTY head bolts. But these Triton engines also use them on the main bearing caps and the connecting rod caps and I can't find them aftermarket. Fortunately Ford has them in stock and not bad on the price either.
I'd say the V10 is a pretty decent engine, too. This one has got 438k miles in it and still ran smooth even with a loose rod.
So now the fun begins.

My uncle had one in motor home
Kept blowing exhaust manifold gaskets
I told him to put headers on it and dual exhaust. No problem after that

^^This^^^
Uneven expansion of the ex manifolds I seem to recall, was the issue.

Steve, get on some of the v10 lovers forums..
They know every trick in the book.

Friend has a ms250 , had it several years but is rarely used.

He has *b-worded about it from day one ,

Hard to start , he's taken it back several times to dealer he purchased it from, they tell him it's the way he's starting it , bla bla bla

I've told him for years it was a saw problem, he finally brought it to me , I found wonky zama carb , and vent line pinched from factory.

Put a 14 dollar Chicom carb on it , fixed vent , gut muffler,

Guess what...

Runs GREAT ....

I told him to take it to his dealership and force feed that Zama to his ass..

No idea what the temp or humidity is here but I am on my 2nd set of clothes for day & contemplating on a third change of shirts. Working up a couple of Sugar Maples at my aunts house in town, the neighbor to the south had a flag that was blowing to the north & the two neighbors to the north had flags blowing to west; all flags indicating stiff breezes. At my aunts place there wasn’t even a hint of moving air.

Here’s my firewood score for the day, I will split out the good stuff & toss the rest in the burn pile. I contemplated joining the bovines in the pool but decided against it.

That's because they know what happens when you run toward them with your pants off.
