Default Re: Carbon Buildup and Stuck Valves

Hi Jerry. if the tanks are thinned out you probably don't have much choice but to build new ones. There may be a universal style available that would physically fit the space but you might lose some capacity. Ive seen the OH event but its a conflict with Baseball stuff. Our bus was originally a Warner Bros Studio fleet unit that was driven East in the early 70s and parked in a barn. That's why the interior is intact. Stitched in new sides on the backrests and new foam last year. Did full exterior LED lighting this past winter/spring. New lighting harnesses as well. Original harnesses throughout were aluminum wire and had tons of issues. Eliminating old light wiring was a huge help. Inspecting and repairing engine and dash wiring as needed. It will get a better dash layout and complete rewire when it gets re engine. The fun doesn't end. Tom
