VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I just overhauled a 1936 LB engine, and installed the double slinger rear main but it still leaks more than normal. It has a new high volume oil pump and think this might be my problem. It holds 50 lbs plus pressure. What pump do you guys recommend that might help my problem and yet do what ever is necessary? thanks Jerry

Hi. I have a stock 36LB engine. I installed a 80lb high volume pump many years ago. I had to cut the oil baffle to make room for the later oil screen and pickup tube that was recommended, but I never did anything with my rear main. My engine has not been rebuilt. I pull 60 lbs when cold with no leaks other than normal seepage with these engines, the reason for the cotter pin in the clutch cover hole. Perhaps the double oil slinger may be the problem? I got mine from MAC,s many years ago, the number on the invoice reads V6600BNHO. Year 1998. I will try and find the invoice for the pick up tube and screen.

My recommendation would to replace the high volume (80#) pump with an original type low volume (50 #) pump which is correct for your engine.

Thanks for all your help. Do any of you use a rear main drain pipe or just leave it without one. I put one on that goes all the way in the oil.
I also had to remove the pan baffle to make let the pump screen fit.

hi oilpump
was wondering when you rebuilt the engine, did you remove the pressure relief valve to make sure
it was not stuck in the open position ? or has a broken spring or compressed spring,?
this is the valve in the block
I have a 80 lb pump in my 37 85hp engine and I replaced the pressure relief valve and spring and the not any real oil leak then normal only a few drops over a long period of time,
exactly were is your oil leak coming from,?
might describing oil leak problem in detail might lead to a solution to your oil leak
hope this helps 37Ratopman ,Maine

The oil leak is coming from the cotter key. I checked the plate on the back of the block where the oil pump drive is. Also, when I rebuilt the motor I put in a new spring and ball under the intake in the block.
Your help ideas are appreciated.
