Well, it's been an interesting 10 years or so with my project 94 F350 CC Dually conversion. But, I'm moving on. A head gasket leak was the last straw. In order to repair it, I would be removing lots of valuable parts that are in the way and by then, it would be easier/more profitable to part it. However, I'll first try to sell it as a project. You never know. Some here are mecha-masochists. I will be posting on the classifieds for the whole enchilada. It'll include the truck, lots of parts, new used and cores. I'll also include lots of oil handling bits such as jugs, barrels and a 350? gallon caged cube as well as a stand-alone pumping/filtering setup. Oh, also included will be my home-made injector pop tester. Basically, anything associated with this will have to go.
For those of you curious, here is a link to what my truck is about;

The concept was to have a running truck where the fuel/waste oil could be filtered as it ran by an on-board, engine driven centrifuge. The setup works well, as you may see in the videos. But the leaky head gasket means I won't be taking it on the road.
The pressure for the centrifuge is developed by a hydraulic pump made from a power steering pump. It is piggibacked onto the alternator and driven by an electromagnetic AC clutch. The pressurized oil is pressure regulated before going through a heat exchanger to thin it. Then, it goes into the centrifuge where it is spun to something like 2600Gs. One of the videos is of it winding down after the engine is shut off. It's a little scary at first.
I'll get to inventorying everything and pictures for when I actually list it. In the meantime, any questions are welcome.
Thanks.
