Yup, the reply button seems to be at the top of the thread, instead of at the bottom, where it belongs...

Ads appear in the middle of posts, before them, after them...

This hobby sure has tamed over the years, this would have triggered a revolt and a lynching not even 10 years ago...

Happy coaching!

Using a Galaxy Note 9 with Firefox for Android, I'm seeing ads at both top and bottom. Usually filling more of the screen than not. Reply button sometimes shows on both top and bottom, but not always. I think that the Google ads are messing with the layout. If I request the desktop site and then switch back to the mobile, I'll be ad free for a few screens, but they come back quickly.

There's got to be a better way to do this for mobile users that doesn't make things so difficult. Any other site than BCM I would have given up trying to access the site on mobile already. I stay  because I value the content and collective wisdom here.

Gary has to pay the bills so I understand but I'm wondering if sponsorship kills the ads?

UPDATE: I may have destroyed my engine. They are polishing the crank and replacing the bearings and going to see if we caught it in time. If she locks up when she's turned over, my busing days are done for a while.
Lots of metal shavings in my oil pan.

Maybe after crank polishing & bearing replacement it'll rotate fine & dandy - we're hoping...

As an 8v92 guy myself I really ache for you. "There but for the grace of God..."
How do you think this happened, and what if anything could've been done to prevent or minimize?

I have no idea. I've never overheated this coach. It's always had 40w oil. I replaced the turbo last year and it wasn't leaking oil. But I've only put on 55,000 miles or less on this bus. So who knows what it's life was like before me.

Scott it is to bad but I guess that explains why you had so many new parts left over from the PO you gave me he didn't use them,the 8v92's  need to be checked thoroughly before throwing a inframe kit in one,that is why DD never sold a so called inframe kit

Right you are. It is what it is. So my next question...in reading the dimensions of a 12.7 60 series vs the 8v92, what stops me from fitting a 60 series into my 102C3 engine bay? Besides the obvious engine mount fabrication?

S60 is going to be about 12 inches longer, by my spec sheets.

In an eagle, length is an issue with a series 60. (Not that it can't be done)

Don't know anything about an MCI, but I do think you would have to add a air to air charge air cooler.

He can install a series 50 that is about the only option he has for a 4 stroke without spending a bundle of $$$$$$,if you side mount a single radiator it opens a different world
