stock fuel pumps are 3 to 6 psi. manual might have flow rate

shouldn't need anything on the pipe threads in automotive applications though it wont hurt anything if you do. tape will just desolve in fuel or oil so is a waste of time. good clean pip=e threads pretty much never leak

Yes that is usually how its done. break off the top half because the exhaust guides can expand after a zillion miles and be too hard to pound through. the blcok is very tough. the guids are also cast iron but probably not as tough as the block. If the cam is out you can drive them out from the botto...

spin oil pump 180. all distributors can be insalled 180 out as the pistons come up on 2 strokes in a 4 stroke engine. comp. and exh.

are they chinese? its about 50/50 they work more than 20 miles anymore. I would try to find NOS. old condensers and a long piece of copper sheet metal insulated with paper then inside filled with resin. they new ones are one tiny finger nail size piece of copper floating in resin. total joke.

Dcook, I thought standard was 55 amp? no?

you can tell by the diameter of the exh. valve stem. much wider than normal

do the 265s have the sodium filled exhaust valves?

wow I have never seen a piston break in that way. has engine been rebuilt ever? maybe they didnt bore the holes to match the piston? I have heard of the 230s breaking pistons in race motors from the offset wrist pin but 251s are not offset.

maybe find pump part number and search? I had one in another vehicle and it was the best heat ever. instant even in 6 degrees F

That is a chelsea 350 series. there are 350, 351 and 352 all in same family. you can still get gears for them to mate up to almost anything. We put one on a T98 a few years ago. the version chelsea still makes is the 352. For anyone wanting to put a PTO on a T98 you need to call a PTO specialist out...

good times! they are the most fun offroad where they kinda belong

I think vintage power wagons has 4.30 gears now for 9 5/8 stock diff if you live in flatlands might be a good option
