The ole 2H is a couple of steps closer to rattling again .......
The rebuild kit showed up today and I dropped the armor grooved pistons off at the machine shop.
The injectors showed up today also.

As I visited the machine shop today I realized I was surrounded by Cummings diesels and even a few large John Deere diesels but the machinist said he was enjoying working on my little Toyota diesel (his first ever). At first I was insulted that he referred to my mighty 2H as a little Toyota diesel but I left the shop smiling.
The mouse that roared.

I don't know about roaring .......
I would be happy if it squeals in a somewhat masculine voice.
As opposed to "...like a pig!"?

That's in the mountains of North Georgia.
I fortunately live in South Georgia.
The guy working on mine when doing the injector pump was the same way. All big diesels ford, Chevy and dodge is all he works on and was happy he got to work on my little 3b ii. Not a cheap fix, but still not leaking!

The machine shop I am using also builds Cummings racing engines (850+ HP).
They asked if I wanted some "extra spunk" in my ole 2H. I politely declined.

When the mechanic added extra spunk (on his own wanting to help me out), boy did it move, but it ran like s***. Wise choice.

Even a 100+ million dollar airplane needs a pyrometer ( EGT ... Exhaust Gas Temperature ).
We were running a cool 630 degrees (C).
Not a temperature you want to see on a 2L-TE.......

Anywhere from -45 to minus -65 C ( usually a little warmer over the Atlantic )
We were at 40,000' when this photo was taken and climbed higher in the vicinity of Gander.

Thats because I suck as a photographer.

As of today I am officially out of Cruisers. 
The HJ75 was already down with the engine rebuild and now the BJ74 is parked with a leaking radiator. For the next few days I am relegated to driving my wife's 4Runner. ( embarrassing but at least it's still a Toyota ).

Have fun driving a lefty!
Sorry to hear that. Any idea on the cause or just sprung a leak?
