I have been testing my old 16’ and added 6 hours to the hourmeter, it’s all satisfying and it’s not leaking (yet)

| That is great! Did you do a sea foam engine oil treatment? Engine fuel treatment? |

| I did fill the no 1 cylinder with 100 celsius degrees 5w-20 engine oil (the thinnest I could get) and let it stand for the weekend over, all the oil was drained to the crankcase, then I changed the oil and run the engine warm then a oil change again. It’s a lot better now, but I’m not sure that is totally over. It’s smoking a bit blue when cold but I hope that it’s some oil rest in the system. |

| It’s about 75 kilometers from my home, I normally move it by my tractor and lowboy but it’s to faraway, and the harbor have some emissions restrictions for road vehicles, so I have hired a trucker |

Yesterday the harbor Pro Welder Have welding in some certificate lifting points on the machine, and today they foto (X-Ray) the weldings, it’s the harbors requires. We only have cab over trucks over here and mostly northern brands like Scania and Volvo’s I only have knowledge of one us truck over here and it’s because I repair the cat engine, I have borrowed it when I was hauling my old cat dump truck.
