What jumps out at me is what you mean by starting it every weekend and rolling back and forth. If you are not leaving the property and giving it a good run up the road you would be better off not starting the coach at all.

The little stainless pin in the first picture was not moving and a big part of my problem with the temperature not changing.

That is why we proactively replace ours with the newer version. Geo

Had a locksmith once tell me to NEVER use WD40 on locks. He said they put a varnish like substance in it so after it’s first application and lubrication, it starts to dry out and get sticky. Guess what frees it up the best. More WD40, which adds more of the varnish like substance, and the cycle continues.

A little bit of blow-by is not the end of the world. An engine with high oil consumption can still produce full power. I had a Continental IO520 engine with some corrosion in the cylinders due to lack of use when I bought it. It still produced full power and I had no issues over the five years I owned the plane. Only downside was the oil slick on the belly of the plane after 50 hours. I considered it corrosion protection. If I recall correctly, Continental allowed up to 1 quart of oil consumption for every hour of flight time (out of 12 quarts total) to remain air-worthy.
Newer engines will route the blow-by back into the intake. If yours goes straight to the ground and messes up your tow vehicle, you could add a catch-container that will collect the oil mist.
Having said all that, a quick way to increase wear in your engine is “dusting”. I.e. any leak on the vacuum side of the air inlet pipes/filter assembly will suck in dust and increase wear quickly. That is a good thing to check for.

I see he made sure to add one for your old bus. Good looking and excellent maintenance with many upgrades. It will be a good buy for someone.

Even our ’88 CC “had” a ceiling fan. It was removed during a remodel in ’94.

Thank you very much everyone for your helpful information.
the way things are now we can’t be careful enough.
I talked to a friend working 4 blocks from the Chop zone in Seattle and he said that they literally had a four lane highway blocked off.
thanks again!

Ordered new flush valve and timer today just going to replace them both since its such a pain the access the flush valve… talked to tech guy at HeadHunter and he thought that was the best idea.
He seemed to think it’s most likely the valve since the tank keeps filling.
We may never know exactly which one it was but at least it will be fixed !!
Again thanks so much for all your input…. such great support here !!
Cheers, Diane
