Chris and the rest of the gang first Chris I agree with your comments, If the engine may not have the "beef" rod, crank, compression issues, why bother?? There other engines out there in the size range in the classic diesels PAW is only one of them and really top notch engines OS10FP and 10LA , TT10 that make great conversions with DDD heads, I have all three and no issues I think the OS10LA is the only one of these in current production but there must be scads out there of the TT and OS10FP, from my previous posts you guys know I have a host of the larger ones 40 and up irvine, MVVS, TT, ST with davis heads and yes classic paws and a little Letmo reproduction. Human nature is to fiddle but I prefer to go with the "no Hassel " system
I think Mr Davis stated "Benchs do not fly" Yes I have a couple of "one offs" Irvine 36, Irvine 25, that A.J Coholic made but high quality base engines martin
