Well,if thats the way it was,and you put it back the same way,I would say its right.The main thing is just do things right,you know,take your time.I remember when I was a kid,people would tell me lots of stuff,but I didnt get what they were saying sometimes,and mess stuff up.I havent worked on a Allis Chalmers other than a WD 45,and all I did to it was take a head off,put a head gasket on it,put it back together.I dont know much about Allis Chalmers so I was just trying to see if you were skipping any steps maybe.Motors as you know now,are not that easy to work on,but the next one is easier.Once you have 10 under your belt you will be on your way to being a mechanic.The first motor I rebuilt,I thought I knew everything,was about 19,it blew up on the way to town 6 miles away.Hope you do better than I did.Since then,knock on wood,none have blown up,and It has to be over 150 rebuilt motors,mostly diesels,and probably 50 gas motors.I had a lawnmower one time though that I overhauled,and it wouldnt run.I worked on that thing for 2 weeks after work.It would fire and run about a minute and die and not start any more.I replaced everything,block,crank,cam,flywheel,piston,new points,condenser,a few times on the points and condenser,and it was the same.Other people helped me,and finally all of us gave up and I took it to a lawnmower shop where a friend of mine worked.He changed a few parts,it did the same thing,I helped him and we worked on this thing all morning one Saturday.Finally he said"I am going to fix this"I said "Yeah right" he took a sledgehammer and knocked it off of the base.Then beat it to smaller pieces.I bought a brand new motor and put it on,started it up,and didnt have any more trouble with it.So every once in a while you can do everything right,you think,and maybe it wont work.I still dont like lawnmowers.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
