    Why Is Camo More Expensive?

    For hunting. There is military in my blood and has been for three generations. Animals see very different than we do. BG hunters learn that DG smell you out.

    Why Is Camo More Expensive?

    Popularity. Interestingly, all the studies show camouflage provides no real advantage over general colors blending in. Outside the US, you rarely see camo in the woods.

    Need a BB/Pellet gun

    Stoeger S4000-E Suppressed. If it must be air. My 22 LR suppressed surprises everyone. It literally is whisper quiet.

    Barrel Handler

    Thank you. Saw the Goodwin and that is my leaning. Want to also get the smaller diameters as well. I will also be getting those dollies. While I've used Rachel straps for many things likely beyond their design limits, a dropped drum can be very bad (ask me how I know). It will mostly be lube...

    Need a BB/Pellet gun

    Check your laws. Where I live, Arlington VA, air guns are just at banned as guns. You can own them but discharge is a felony. Silenced 22 for rodents is quieter and more effective than an air gun.

    Got to use my DIY diesel generator today.

    Looks like an excellent build. I would put an electronic governor on it to maintain frequency under load and loading/load shedding

    B7100 - white smoke from exhaust at high RPM with occasional puffs

    It can work and always worth a check. However, some many head cracks don't open up until you are at temp. On big engines, the heads are pulled every year and PT'd standard. But if a leak is suspected off maintenance, you'd scope it before pulling the and taking the ship/train out of service.

    B7100 - white smoke from exhaust at high RPM with occasional puffs

    Its a great test - and you can temporarily do this at load. Sometimes you need a cap extender that blocks the tractor overflow. Which can result in scalding thus I'm not comfortable recommending it. But I've done it on engines bigger than a two story house.

    B7100 - white smoke from exhaust at high RPM with occasional puffs

    You are correct. He said he would scope the cylinders. Just remove the white light source and use the UV light or put a uv filter on the scope source. I've done it many times

    B7100 - white smoke from exhaust at high RPM with occasional puffs

    (not me by the way...) So, you put dye in the radiator. Run engine. Check for leaks. radiator, hoses, pump, etc. AND if you can manage it, in the cylinder

    B7100 - white smoke from exhaust at high RPM with occasional puffs

    Well, you can just pressurize the whole system and that is ok. Of course you can go as high as you like and see what leaks! If the head is suspected base on inspection with dye in the coolant, the typical method is to pull the head and use dye penetrant.

    B7100 - white smoke from exhaust at high RPM with occasional puffs

    It appears the 70mm engine only allows you to set overall pump timing but not injector timing - no the best but works. In this case, pump pressure and injector pop pressure from the spray test will determine timing. If you have access to a thermal camera or an IR temp gun, put the engine in...
