  1. Good question. I must admit, I just brought the cylinders up to pressure and sat there and watched the gauge for a minute. I might have to try out the other method just to be sure. Thanks for that picture, too!
  2. Well, I did the cylinder compression tests last night. The results are as follows: Cylinder 1 - 115 psi Cylinder 2 - 110 psi Cylinder 3 - 105 psi Cylinder 4 - 95 psi Cylinder 5 - 100 psi Cylinder 6 - 100 psi Compression was built and held for one minute, or greater. The results don't look too goo, huh?....
  3. Ok, this might be a dumb question, but how does fuel enter the oil pan? The only way that I think this could happen would be a cracked/broken piston? Please, edumacate me.
  4. That's the first plan I had in mind. Now, I just need to find a buddy with a compression tester...
  5. Well, it is the same wheel that the rubber brake line popped off of the drum. Would brake fluid turn to a dark black color with a very sticky consistency?
  6. Like you, I use Amsoil in EVERYTHING I own that requires a lubricant. I have no fears of using the oil. I can at least try it...
  7. Well, as the title reads, it's unfortunately come to light. If I take short trips in the truck, I don't have any issues. However, if I take the truck on a trip longer than, oh let's say 30 miles, that's where the troubles begin. I noticed this after I visited my local antique tractor show at the fairgrounds. As I drive the truck on down the road, I can see the temperature gauge reading normal (assuming it works), but I begin to smell the "burning oil" stench. On shorter trips, I can see white smoke coming out of the oil filler tub/cap. I thought nothing about it and I assumed it was normal. Well, as I took my long trip, I begin to smell that stench again. As I keep driving, it becomes more and more apparent. So, as I limp Black Betty home (I named my truck ) the smoke fills the entire cab. The temperature gauge still reads around 200° (again, assuming it works). I take off from traffic lights and it looks as though the truck is on fire because it is smoking so bad. Thankfully, it wasn't (I checked). I get home, open both sides of the hood and smoke it just pouring out with that AWFUL stench of burnt oil. I checked the oil level, it's still full. I immediately throw some fans on the engine to help cool things down a bit. While I'm off cursing and shaking my head in the garage, I hear this loud "POOF" sound. As I turn around, I see what looks like an old locomotive releasing pressure from the side tanks. White smoke just barrels out of the passenger side of the motor. I'm looking around, but I can't see where in the world it actually came from? Well as the weeks have gone by, I have just parked Black Betty in the garage for now. Out of curiosity, I kneel down to look under the truck and notice that the inside of the front passenger wheel is COVERED in oil. I've looked around the engine, checked the oil pan and anything else I can and I don't see ANYTHING that is leaking oil?! So, the big question is WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?! I'm almost to the point of pulling the engine and doing a full rebuild (though I really don't want to spend the money, or time doing that right now). Please help me out here!! Thanks fellas! Kevin
  8. I've been contemplating on whether I could use the Amsoil in the old truck. Now, I'm going to try it out. I'm WAAAAAY past due for an oil change on the truck...
  9. It's been awhile since I've been around these parts, so forgive me on that. However, I'm wondering if there's any place that has these parts made up for replacement? I crawled under the truck tonight to see the front passenger hose had come loose from the brake, dangling there next to the shock. Also, I found oil all over the inside of the wheel, but that's another problem I need to figure out...Anyways, I figure it's about time to replace all the rubber hoses (for reassurance purposes). Any leads will help tremendously! Thanks, Kevin
  10. No, but it missed my head by about two inches!! Hahaha
  11. Not really, it still took awhile for it to come out. Slowly, but surely... At about the half way point, it shot out like a rocket.
  12. Old pin removed! Thank God for air hammers....
  13. Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I have the exact same scenario on my '51 B3B. The driver's side king pin came out with absolutely no problems. The passenger side won't budge a bit! I've tried heating, PB Blaster, BFHs and punches. I figured I'd walk away before I lost my cool and started damaging things.... But seriously, what did you do to get the pin out? Thank you, Kevin
  14. Very cool! I just read the entire thread and I'm impressed. Sounds like a fun project!
