Another sad story; Nobody can put a bullet into the SS United States either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_United_States
Drag her to the scrappers now before it sinks or not able to be towed away. Bring in a newer ship and drain that pool they stay in (like a dry...
Looking at the channel marker water stains and the hulls water line. Maybe the moon was perfect and tide was real flooded or somebody was in a...
I would guess the same folks that sold the heaters. :cool:
Still waiting for "The Rest Of The Story"..
Anything above freezing would work then. I used to keep small / medium sized engine room toasty with a 60W trouble light on and vents covered /...
While I'm typing away, I'll bring up Cat power. Stay away from anything smaller than 3406s. Quickly keep walking (run) past anything with 31XX...

When I can not find a tank top fitting to use, I added a T to the fill or vent connects at the tank. Don't forget a potable compatible check valve...
Please search and read the many Detroit threads here on YF. Tomorrow, I'm hoping more Viking kids will tap in on your thread here.
I luv Vikings. I luv Detroits. High performance Detroits (92s) can stretch patience and checkbooks if your not ready. There is no fuel economy...
Are you DDC Savy??
Still a press on long life. If it has the straight log exhaust manifolds, then I'll call it the 550HP. Here is a pirated copy of the DDC cut...
Just a question; Are these the 6V92TIAs? Some higher (620?) HP, DDEC controlled engines? We do need the HP or or better model number (TI, TA or...
