Aloris--  (Are you a tool holder?)

I'm with Mobile Bob as to the solution of the twisting problem.  You have plenty or room to install four, four inch steel pipes between the I-Beam webs.  Cut through one web, run the pipe through, butt weld the blind side and fillet weld the pierced side.

The alternative is to X web the outsides of the I-Beam like bridges and trestles are done to make the members resist twisting.  The pipe seems the much easier choice.

Very nice job!!

hey Hotater, why don't you tell us what you really think?

Because it scares the Libs, socialist, and other trash.

  I can't speak to the retailer's web site, I'm only stating what *my* expectations were and what my intentions were for the engines and what I considered them to be.  (entire writeup and photo links on utterpower.com)

If I were to buy a brand new _____fill in the blank___ genset from a major manufacturer, I would never think to check for grit under the piston skirt, but if it's goobered up with green goo and assembled  with washers cut out of old tin cans, I sure will!

What is really needed, to my thinking,  is an honest look at the foundations in order to put together a meaningful impression of the engine as a whole.  *Details* like running on for a minute about a fuel tank with rust in it (in the 8-1 vid) means absolutely nothing.  It more than likely leaks too, or soon will. 
  I still think the piece of wood in the fuel filter was proof it filtered out what it was designed to.....

I have great hopes for the Redstone, but without assessments by people looking for the 'right' things, it could become just a contest for nit-pickers.  I feel that's a horse that doesn't have to be whipped anymore.    They're  *INdian* engines!  They have far enough to go to perfection to last our lifetimes, I think.   

The WORST job in the world has to be as an Indian astronaut.

Does it make any sense to anyone that it takes hours and hours to build hours of experience?

Maybe Wilhelm (may his name be invoked appropriately) will pop up and say he bought one last month and can now affirm they last ten thousand hours.

I won't.

You must be measuring output going downhill !   

When I was wondering the same thing, several years ago, I mixed red deisel and WVO in a big pickle jar and  let it sit for a week....and decided to keep them seperate.  They DO mix, but they don't stay that way.

Take the valve out, run a water hose until it runs over, dump the water and cut, weld, grind or hammer. Propane is a GAS and once the tank is filled with water there is NO place for a gas to hide.  No need to keep the water, it's done it's thing.
 Pour a pint of denatured alcholol in and rinse back out to cut the stinky goo.
