Growing up in a small suburb in the 60's, the road we lived on was a dirt road. The county came out and widened the roads and laid blacktop. They used a Cat grader that looked about like yours.

Using a small engine to start a larger engine, which is then used to start an even larger engine, is particularly entertaining for me. It reminds me of the scene in King of the Hill when Hank takes out a can of WD40 to spray a sticky door knob, but the lid is stuck on, so he takes out a smaller can of WD40 to spray the lid of the larger can of WD40, and then uses the larger can of WD40 on the door knob. Great stuff.

@barrygrant2907 Год назад

@wilsonlaidlaw Год назад

A good tip when lapping valves into their seats is to put a light spring between the valve head and the guide. This means you can stop ever few turns, let the spring lift the valve off the seat and dribble a little bit of kerosene around the valve, this carries the grinding compound back into the lapping zone. A proper valve grinding power tool, like Black and Decker used to make, is not rotary but oscillating .
