| Post subject: | cleaning engine & checking for leaks |
probably a stupid question/thread, but i ain't scared...i've coated my engine (gator tail gtr35 with 60 hours now) throughout the season with boeshield t-9 as my area is ridiculously salty. it looks as though i have massive oil leaks, but it's got to be the boeshield & dirt - and in checking my oil levels, i'm not losing any. now that i've got the time, i was thinking of cleaning the engine mainly to check for leaks. here are my questions: 1. regular engine degreaser is fine & it won't screw up the paint or electrical connections? 2. check around the case gasket & the engine bolts - anywhere else? 3. anything else / recommendations. thanks - your mud rookie |

Looked at your rig from the link you have posted. What grass is that you used and where did you get it, cause that's the same type area I hunt |

the original 6 pieces that are tied to the blind came w/ the hull from go devil - but i don't think they are that different from another pack i bought from academy sports (i don't know what the exact brands are - and am not sure it really matters). i tied them on, sprayed them down w/ water seal (i think it was actually amorall waterseal from walmart) on the inside & outside. i think it helps them last longer, but also makes the color a little darker - which is good for my area. i then bought a big pack of avery killer weed, made ~12 two foot long bundles around 2 inches diameter - tied that to the grass/blind. i painted a few parts of the blind w/ walmart camo spray paint. finally, recoated the whole thing again w/ water seal. i have a couple of extra pieces of fast grass, an engine cover, 1 piece burlap & 1 piece netting. |

i'd bet it's avery fast grass - i've heard go devil designed their own pop up, but they contracted for avery to build/manufacture it (i'm sure in china or somewhere super cheap) - so i'd think everything for the blind comes from avery to go devil. probably easiest just to call & ask go devil. |
