Boating sucks!!
This morning, I will install the 3rd Cummins factory "Recon" engine on the starboard side of my halibut fishing boat since last Thursday. Last Thursday, after only 90 hours [6 fishing trips], the 1st factory recon engine sucked a valve when we were 65 miles offshore. It took 7 hours to limp the 25 ton boat back to the harbor on one engine in 6' seas...then the 2nd factory recon engine had a defective oil pump we discovered after a 2 hour sea trial on Sunday. Hopefully the 3rd time is the charm???
I'll be back near my PC in 12-14 hours, then I'll commence responding to those that showed interest in my 62 Belair [in the order each contacted me]. The file on the car showed up here yesterday, but I haven't even opened the FedEx box yet. Hope to have my boating woes resolved this evening and be able to get down to business.
