HEY CHOCS
Ya gotta admit that Knightys' set up is an engineering masterpiece. Notice how it evenly distributes the oil over the brake hoses too. Stops the fittin's from rustin' up .... makes easy to undo.

I gotta confess that all engines are good engines when they are runnin' and all boat anchors when they play up.

I still tend to lean toward the yellow coloured engines though. Nothing like turning out the lights in the gen shack on the oil rig at night and watching the glow of the exhaust manifolds and turbo housings and listen to that raw power chugging out through a 12" stack .... no mufflers, just a water injected spark arrestor.

Enough to make a jelly fish all erect :D :D :D :D :D :D

How would it have been, if half of these rockets had 'Roof mounted Jimmys'

I reckon Chocs has it, pipe the air box drains into the structure of the cab. English panel building and american rust protection. None of my Crusader cabs have rusted below the engine line!

However, now I have changed the oil to 40 Monograde, put some dirt on the back and flogged it around the paddock, no drips now. (Unless I leave it idling)
