Lol, I got sidetracked. It started out with me picking up 3 surplus military generators. 2 cylinder water cooled diesel engines running @ 1800rpm.



I then quickly realized I didn't have room to work on them in the shop with the X all apart and all the farm/yard/tractor stuff in there. My shop addition would get flooded anytime it rained due to the way the dirt banks were sloping right next to it, so I had been putting off moving stuff out there. But this finally took me over the edge. So I began excavating:





And as of today:









I was finally able to move all that stuff out into the addition and properly arrange it so that I could relatively easily get to everything:



I probably moved about at least 10 dump truck loads of dirt...



So now I could finally tear down those generators and begin rebuilding those engines and go over them in general.







I plan to keep one or two and sell the 3rd one. That should help fund the completion of the X project.

So yes, you could say that I got a little sidetracked....

I just finished reading all 43 pages of your thread and all I can say is Wow! Great work!!!
I missed the part in your thread regarding the origin of the oil leak, which gasket was the culprit?

Keep up the good work!
