Title: 6V92 mechanic near Portland or E of Portland?
Post by: daveola on March 07, 2017, 05:04:01 PM

I have a 6V92 in a bus I want looked at outside of Portland, and I'm having a hell of a time finding a mechanic that knows anything about 6V92s...  Anyone have any contacts up there?

Tom that could be Tennessee as well as any of many other states.

Here is what I found with a quick check of Wikipedia:

But I ASSUME Dave is talking about Portland, OR as he is on the West Coast around the bay area and looking for a replacement transmission for his coach and I think he has decided to replace both the 6V92 and transmission as a package deal if he can find the right donor!

How about asking the transit fleets if any of their older mechanics want to do a side job after work?   Are there any boatyards on the Columbia that deal with 2-stroke boats there?

Great point - I'm looking around E of Portland, OR.  So either in Portland or E of there a good 100 miles or more, or possibly down by Bend, OR.

Just talked to them, and sadly all of their two stroke guys are now in Washington, seems to have happened everywhere along the Cascades in that area.

Since December.

I'll get there, eventually.

Fortunately we have a place to live right now, though I miss the bus.
