Exhaust manifold mounted

May 6,7,8. We got the water manifold, between the three blocks, on the right side of the engine on with neoprene gaskets. The water pump which drives the distributor and magneto was cleaned up at home and the timing was set. The water pump gear was carefully mated with the timing gear to have the spark occur at the correct time (20 degrees before top dead center we hope!). James was working on the 25 ton GE and Ryan showed up. They helped me get the 6 ft long exhaust manifold mounted on the engine. It is still loose because it has to line up, and bolt up to several other castings on the head and intake manifold. We are working on the intake manifold to drill out the pipe plugs and install ball valves to drain the water. The conrader unloader is being disassembled and cleaned.
