[SEL] All comes together at once :-)

[Richard Strobel]

  Howdy all;
Well the ring for the Gal sawing outfit showed up today and got her in and 
everything back together.  I took the head off to install the piston as 
trying to keep the rings oriented on the "pin" was kickin' my rear when 
installing from the other end.  One thing I did notice is that on a 5hp 
roundrod, the bottom head stud is exposed to the coolant..unlike the 
others....and it had already corroded.  Next time I'm going to a stainless 
stud.

   And then Eco wouldn't start, so pulled the Webster and played with the 
igniter points and man are they tired.  Some time ago we talked about 
replacing the contacts, but don't remember what would be the best.  I'm 
thinkin' now a stainless steel rivet.   whatcha all think?

  Tomorrow, hopefully will be a good crankup day for the Gal.

  And the Steamer is coming closer and closer everyday for using up some 
boiled water.
