2014 c&c set, success.
The owner picks her up this week, will read the carburetor on the problem child next time I'm at MaskinSalg.
Relieved that it worked out.

Now I'm going to vape and have a cup of tea!

When you can't dazzle 'em with your wit, you baffle 'em with your bullchit. Repeat until retirement. There's at least one in every shop
Once you tell them that you're going to prioritize emergent technologies in order to optimize user-friendly experience of relevant stakeholders, they pretty much leave you alone for a while.

We just say GFY around here.
The corporate environment in the US is a bit odd. If you literally say GFY, they can go crying to HR, and you might get fired or otherwise inconvenienced. But they can't really complain that you spewed incoherent gobbledygook, because that's part of the business model.

I've told people much worse then that and I'm still employed.

Factory KS transfer bridge shape 😅View attachment 464661
I don't think it has any performance impact other than the port being visually annoying.

KS made fantastically nice 262 cylinders, and 254 cylinders, from 87 to around 98-99 on the latter.

They made a smaller batch for 242 around 90-92, good timings but with less nice ports, more casting slugs etc.

They can, but they can't, is my experience with KS.

Over all the years of teaching Agriculture and then Industrial Arts I was quite outspoken and never shy on voicing my opinion of the bullsheit I saw. The FFA chapter had a 160 acre farm that we had multiple research studies on. It was set up separate from the school district so that they could not fudge with it. There was a (3) member board of trustees. It consisted of a farmer, myself (Ag teacher), and the bank VP. We had our trustee meetings at the bank and filed our annual reports with the circuit court. It pissed off the Superintendent as he wanted to take it over. After a new board member was elected that wanted to farm the ground the two of them conspired to break the trust and take over the land. It was a year long battle and I was not holding back. I was still in my 20's but there was no way in hell I was going to let them screw over the FFA program. It got very heated and was in the newspaper weekly. In a some situations our fights were on the front page of the largest newspaper in southeast Iowa. That dumb SOB superintendent did not think I knew the law and that there was no way in hell he was busting the trust apart. He did his best to make my life hell and I stopped him from invading the trust.

He lost

Good morning guys,
no big plans today, wash wash wash dirty chainsaws! Inspect, make plans.
Starting to have little to do, fortunately. That is, chainsaw related.
Everything else I have pushed to the front of the plan, one day!

Well built 351W.
Dad took his trapping money from the 1977-78 season and bought his first 4 wheel drive in June 1978. It was a F-150 with a 300 6 cyl and 4 speed. That truck is still in the shed. I had a 80 F150 4x4 with the 351M/400. It literarily rusted itself to an early death. The 1980 models were horrible rusters. I bought a well used 88 F-250 with a 300 6 cyl and 5 speed and never bothered to even title it as I just ran it from farm to farm. My brother had one of those goofy 1980's Ford vans spliced to a dually box. Then he bought a 86 F-350 dually 2wd with a 6.9. It would pull good but get stuck on a fly turd. There were also a few ugly ass 1988 F-250's with 460's. One of those caught on fire coming down highway 22 pulling the cattle trailer full of lumber. Yep that made a helluva fire.

The truck that I cannot believe Ford made or anyone bought was the one my Father-in law had. It was a 1986 F-350 with a with a 300 6 cyl and 4 speed He bought it from a short lived pet food company. The damn thing had a 12ft van body on it. He took it off and built a 12 ft flatbed for it. In 1995 I put the GN flatbed on it and headed south to get a Oliver 88 tractor. The damn truck had no oil pressure!! He said it was fine that was the way it always was. A month or so later he put the big stock trailer on it full of horses and headed out to South Dakota with a group. Well those guys all had diesels and he was trying to keep up. You can guess it...........she puked.
