we all do small odd jobs not really worthy of starting a dedicated thread for but might be interesting to some of us so I figured I would start this thread to hopefully get some extra activity on the site. so this thread is for everyone who wants to snap a few pictures of what they did threw out the day to give the rest of us something interesting to look at in the evening.

My buddy has a 1971 GMC 5500 with a cummins from a 93 dodge pickup it and he used the intercooler from the truck during the swap. it was corroded and full of pin holes and finding a good one came up short, in fact I have 2 more buddy's that now know they have the same problem! bigger intercoolers from heavy duty trucks are relatively easy to get so I cut half the core out of a cooler from a sterling truck that had a C7 CAT engine. its a little wider and thicker but it worked, and theres enough left to re-core one of my other buddy's coolers also. the 2 coolers  pressure washed the sterling one.  cut tanks off dodge one.  cut core from sterling.  welded the tanks on.  not the best TIG welds I have done but there a hell of a lot better the the factory welds next to mine!

There is enough core left to do another one which I will be doing. The next one will have 1 or 2 tubes less then this one but it will be going on a stock engine and the core is thicker with bigger tubes then the factory dodge core so it's shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks Doc
I saw the previous shots and was impressed by the look of the bore and hence the question about how the moly worked and what it was

I picked up a 2 gallon air tank that had been a small "inflater" compressor. The compressor was toast so it had already been removed. My first goal is to cap off extra ports and make it just a transfer bottle. There are two gages and an adjusting valve but it seems leaky. I'll have to clean and see if they can become usefull. I only have 12 volt compressor which is pretty slow. Now I need to find a good compressor with a leaky tank. Maybe a repurposed frig compressor. also got an LED task light for the welding cart and an old belt sander to try the motor out on a grinder I found. So I perpetuate the age old issue of many starts and no finished projects. I did finish a great scooter ride in the NC mountains thisafternoon.

Bunk My brother used to work in a motor rewind shop in his early days. Whenever he found an old motor he ran a megger test. If it failed he would flood spray it with transformer spray and then let it dry thourly. A few days later he would re run the megger test to see if it helped. Most of the time that was all that was needed to put the motor back in service for his own use.
