it wasn't as bad as the forecasted. To hear weatherman we were screwed. It amounted to 4" then stopped. Started back up but nothing to bad.

Lookin to replace the lifters in an Ultima 127. Anyone know which lifters are made in USA using good materials???? I have had poor experiences with the lifters Ultima supplied with their 120 engine. Once at around 12,000 miles the 120 had lifter failure, covered under warranty. 20,000 miles later lifter failure again, it trashed the engine. I'm leaning toward Feuling, any thoughts????

Well looks like I may have eff'd myself good. Millions of leaves to cleanup, fence posts to dig and plant, suck azz in ground pool to close and a senior citizen working like he's 21. Early last week started on the Fall chores outside. Woke with a mild lumbar ache. Through the work week it started to feel better. Friday I jumped back into the outside work. Saturday I couldn't walk. Right leg half numb the other half on fire. Right hip felt like a samurai sword stuck in it. I'm not embarrassed to say it had me in tears, moans and occasional yells. Wife took me to ER on Saturday. They listened to my symptoms gave me shots of steroids, muscle relaxer and some powerful pain killer. After a while they pushed me out the door with a few prescriptions. Can't sit, stand or lie without...

After a long storage the HD 89 ultra classic was started. At first everything ran well. Then it happened. An oil gusher started from the oil tank (it was open to catch the oil coming from the breather headed to the air filter). Awful looking stuff, it was brown and foamy. Obviously the oil pump is involved and the oil must be coming from the sump. Any clues what went wrong.
