Topic: Can't get off my rock grate!

You have to play with it, then stroke it slowly top to bottom, repeat in reverse order, slowly at first and faster towards the end. Or so I'm told

I got  no problem loaning it, just about 12 hours total drive time to do it!.
Try begging and pleading with beerjet, he's near you and surely has one.

Just be there. That's thanks enough. I need as many of you around as possible when I learn to drive this MoFo! Or as witnesses to the insurance company that it WAS an accident!, lol

I'm not a genius, but I'm willing to bet a paycheck that within a year you'll see Crane Cams being peddled again but made in China. Someone will buy the brand and proprietary data and make them in China's slave labor camps. Our Government will probably supply the standard no import tarriffs and likely supply federal grants to make it all happen.

Quality will never be the same, however. Same with everything today.

I think we should do the right thing, and be green. Let's stop using fossil fuels altogether and save the planet. Lets stuff our tanks with liquified spotted owls and snow leopards.......

No thermostat. 'tis what I'm told, makes sense.  Control temperature and pressure through the releif valve and valve controlling engine flow.

Sure a stick or twig COULD give you an issue, but you would notice it in the temp and pressure readings if it stuck there. Hence the need. I think that is the exception, though, and not the rule. I'm sure it's a very rare occurance that anything that small would remain stuck there for very long. Even at 15 PSI, stick your face in an air hose at 15 and see how long you stay in place.

X2, But I'd call Tom at JBP first if that's what you really want. There's inexpensive and then there's cheap, the two are not interchangeable.

IOW, there is no Santy Claus!!

IMO, a Berk bowl for $400, should be plated lor something! I've shopped these things for 4 months now.

THAT is a funny thing about a Nascar race. Been to 5 or 6 here in Phx. Saw more cleavage than you see at a renassiance festival. Had this drunk guy last time sit next to me share his scanner headset to hear Jeff Gordon whining at about lap 170 of 325 laps that he had to take a dump REAL bad. LMAO  he was whining about it the rest of the race.

Wouldn't want to be the guy who walked into the bathroom after that, lol

OK , Thread jacking you for a moment Steve, sorry

I get the strands thing. The same reason Monster cable costs 10 times more than generic Radio Shack crap. Cannot carry more load, just a more stable one. 8 Guage wire carries what 8 guage wire carries. I don't care how many strands there are. Like the main difference betweeen 8 guage and 8 guage THHN is the insulation. Both have the same amount of copper. We ain't pulling 4x4's out of the mud here.

From a different standpoint tho,more, smaller strands means more exposed surface area for oxidation. Basic physics.

But, well, OK, I'll toss it out there. If Water, salt water in particular, needs the stuff, the what about all the multi-million dollar Malibu beachfront homes. Do THEY require this wire? and they get more salt spray and moisture than a weekend boat does in two seasons. lol ......I'd even be willing to bet that the wiring in my car under the hood sees more water, and I live in the desert, than any boat I own's wiring will ever see.

ALL COPPER oxidizes and patinas. The only way to slow it is to insulate it. Where you make the connections, that's where it starts, and I get that. The shrink tubing, etc. are only solution. Still needs maintenance, meaning, inspection and checks for corrosion, cause it's still gonna corrode no matter what you do. All you can do is slow it down.

That's all I have to say about that, lol

Ray

I lied, I do, lol, Steve and I live in Arizona. Park rangers and County Sherrif's can't even spell marine, so we b ok regardless, lol. O0

Me either, Marine Grade? What's that, wire that's been sank before? Either it's insulated or not, and the dielectric strength of the insulation is set up for DC or AC voltages/current. That's as much as I have ever heard of wire ratings.

Did the Coast Guard find another way to make a buck sanctioning wire that I am unaware of?

You amaze me Steve. You get more done in a couple hours than most of us, finger pointing directly at ME, in a day. And I thought I was kicking some A getting my thing done! :banghead:

Looks Great! Wish I Could run my plug wires that way, but to run them clear around the engine, then back under the headers just so they look that cool would require 6 to 8 foot plug wires! Maybe I'll try the same thing from the front to begin with......Shorter wires anyway. ;D
