Since there is a wee bit of alcohol still in the N/As, did you calculate how much alcohol you actually consumed too?

Those ice pad machines were awesome for mom and dad after their surgeries. No messing with an ice pack, just a tank and hose. I used to pop out in the middle of the night, swap the bath and start it back up for mom after her rotator cuff.

Good friend of ours used to machine the knees for Stryker.

I always took that as I needed to start drinking again lol. I'm pretty lactose intolerant... so even cheese I typically can't trust after... I'm not giving up cheese.

Just out of curiosity, is it a Theta II engine or are those gone now?

I know yamaha had some issues on a certain model woth trapping water. I think it's been corrected but I don't blame you for being careful.

Are they not just tilt down to drain?

This had a clutch on the rack. No possible way to push the drive unless you turned the wheel. The power assist without that I would assume still moves, just woth the force needed to move the actuator tacked on, like a car.

Oh, so bicycle pump. I only ask as I tried one of the no feedback Helms on my restoration and hated it for the same reason. Stiff. Stiffer than the 40 year old detmar it replaced. I don't see why they'd use that on a power assist anyway, but just a thought.

Just out of curiosity, well 2 actually. First, what air pump? Is this like a quick winterizing kit? Second, what kind of rack is on the helm?

Love the color

A lot of times, GMs WOT calibration on engines is in yhe 12:1 range. It seems merc targeted 14:1 at cruise (below stoich) and then dropped to around 12.8 at peak power. Seems most tuners on marine engines shoot for the same unless it's a hot engine or otherwise odd.

No issues with the truck though?

The 1485 "kit" would be about right for a standard non vortec 4.3 for sure just based on the FSM jetting. It is a jet size lean on the primary circuit and the wrong metering rod for a vortec.

4.3. Confirmed with a wide band.
