errrrrrrr

not me just now seeing this @eman1200 o_O

I'm not disagreeing with you, but why would carb ice be an issue here when the setup is exactly like most old carb systems? Or did old carb/muscle cars experience this and this was aimed at fixing it? Understood on the PCV system. I have learned a lot about this system the past couple days that...

Anyone know where to get a replacement cap for the hose that goes to the air filter? My new air filter has a hole for the pcv hose but I need a new cap. Having a hard time finding a replacement with a proper hole in it.

Alright so on a compression note, (I ran this cold, so it would just increase from here), 5 of my cylinders sat at 120psi, and one at 150psi. While I'm intrigued by the one cylinder at 150, all of the cylinders seem to be alive. So I'll have to figure out how best to rerun the hoses for the PCV...

So I may have a bit of a misunderstanding with this PCV system, and maybe some info that collaborates a potential rings issue. This is a picture from when things were still being put back together. My prior thinking was that both the front and rear hoses acted as breather tubes. The front one...

What makes you think its head gasket related? Only times I've heard of blow by showing symptoms like mine are from worn piston rings.

You hit the nail on the head. The spray method helped me track down part of the intake manifold gasket letting air in due to one of the hard to reach bolts being a little looser than I remember. Vacuum leak fixed. In other news-- I drove the truck a few miles and back to check over things since...

There’s a high pitched vacuum type noise, so pretty sure it’s a vacuum leak. Not sure on location, need to go ahead and spray around with some starter fluid or something to find as you and @Daleandee suggest. Definitely agree on potential for the manifolds, they were a PIA to install together so...

Hi All- Have what seems to be a perplexing issue. I replaced the intake and exhaust manifolds on my f100's ford 300 and upgraded to a four barrel carb (single barrel before :skeptical:). I seem to be having a never ending vacuum leak. I started with installing a 1 inch spacer, gasket on each...

Both

You resemble it? So you agree with him ;)

Completely forgot that I started this thread. Need to go scuba diving, been way too long.

I think this is the big question. My general sense since getting into GA is that the avg age of plane owners seems to keep getting older, therefore when those folks sell, maybe there will be a bit of a flood. Could be wrong though. Also, if there is a flood and decrease in prices, maybe younger...

Other points--Car prices have finally resumed their normal significant depreciation schedule, freight markets are WAY down with lower container prices than pre pandemic, gas has become more reasonable, crypto bubble gone, and stocks way down...lots of money has left and continuing to leave...

Hey now I like Elevation Chophouse.

Graduated earlier this year and working in the real estate development industry...big switch from those that might remember me starting college in engineering. LOL. And alas, not flying much. With time though...

Is it bad luck to hope for plane prices to come down?

@eman1200 Update...now in the full time working world :eek:

I moved to central Florida earlier this year. Anyone flying up from Florida with an open seat?
