Re: K30 Downgrade to Cummins Project
Been real busy at work and restoring wood windmills lately. Finally getting back to this thing, I really want to get the head off and see if I should just fully rebuild it as long as its out.
I did get my engine stand all done! I like it. Doing the stress and deflection calculations and CAD paid off. I will still proof load it with another 750 lbs just to make sure the welds are strong since I am still new to my MIG welder. That will take a bit to rig up so if something gives it still chained to a structure for the testing.
