Bill and Mike Romain should sh.t or get off the pot. Either establish
a moderated NG or quit howling every time someone they don't like
breaks their Charter.

I know full well it is selectively enforced.

Bill is an old goof with extreme opinions. In America you are allowed
to be an old goof with extreme opinions.

Whoever is doing the drive-by sh.tting all over the NG is no friend or
hero of mine or anyone else. It takes no great skill or achievement.
They are far bigger losers than Bill. If someone beat the hell out of
them I would not be displeased.

Your mileage may vary. Have a nice day.
L.W.(Bill) Hughes III - 24 Apr 2006 02:18 GMT
Hi Bret,
    You don't really want a moderated new group, plus the only way that
would work is if the groups only access was made via only one Internet
Service Provider, such as my COX.net, all others would have to be
excluded. The way it works now is adequate, all you have to is copy the
offenders header and forward their message to their ISP, and if enough
people complain, they will eat the forty bucks and close that account.
Like in marriage and government, we get what we deserve.

Moderated NGs are pretty clean of unapproved posts. You can set up a
bot, also, that will filter out most stupid and vicious posts. You can
ban "profane" words and lots of other stuff.
Earle Horton - 24 Apr 2006 02:31 GMT
Bret,

There is a moderated newsgroup for Colorado EMS providers.  (Yahoo! groups
coems)  The moderator won't pass anything, that even hints of misconduct by
any Colorado EMT.  If you are familiar at all with EMS, you should know,
that misconduct is the rule rather than the exception.  I for one subscribe
to any newsgroup in the perhaps vain hope that I may learn something, in
addition of course to the all important entertainment consideration.  That
moderated newsgroup, is useless for learning anything.

When you get your moderated Jeep newsgroup, you can hang out there.  Leave
the unmoderated newsgroup, this one, to the big boys.

How's the Deutz?

The Deutz is on hold for awhile, but I did get new cylinders on ebay
at a good price and it will wind up in a Jeep of one sort or another.
I've had other vehicle problems but they are now under control. It's
probably going to be next year before I even get the Deutz assembled
and running.

I did get a beautiful South Wind heater for a Corvair, which will
solve the heat problem beautifully.

One thing I know though.  Anybody who claims to be my friend, they mean it,
or they're just plain nuts.  There are a surprising number of people, who
claim to be my friends.

Lots of these posts use the dizum.com mail2news gateway.  I wrote
abuse@dizum.com a long email, threatening to complain long and loud about
them, to every NNTP server administrator I could find.  I "CC"ed every news
server on the header, that I got with one of the postings.  The poster uses
anonymous remailers, which the dizum web site "claims" cannot be traced, but
far too many of them use mail2news@dizum.com as the final step in the
process.  You could make the argument, that for legal purposes, dizum.com is
the originator of these posts and should do something about it.

Do your worst fuckboi. No one likes a netKKKop anyway, a.shole. I'm sure
after your "long email" that the dizum operators now know that you are a

With fuel prices the way they are and with full-mechanical diesel
engines available and not that tough to use, contrary to the willful
LIES on certain web sites, I know diesels are not for everyone but are
way underutilized. Diesels have a lot of advantages for offroad use,
and in most countries a 4WD with a gas engine is not taken seriously.

I am not trying to get everyone to convert. But there are at least a
few people who would be way better off with a diesel. The Deutz
probably is not the best all around choice, I'm doing it for hobby
value to a certain extent.

Low end torque, perhaps?

Ability to irritate the 'ell out of the tree huggers?

Less flamability of fuel when spilled while inverted? <grin>
L.W.(Bill) Hughes III - 27 Apr 2006 04:50 GMT
    That's a design of camshaft duration. Plus a heavy flywheel use by
diesels to push through their up to twenty four to one compression
ratio, which was used on the stock Kaiser Buick V6 to change it's torque
and push it through it's odd fire.

I have been retired for ten years, and everything I do is a hobby.  The way
I look at it, a hobby is something you want to take pride in.  I get more
obsessed about my hobbies, than I never did about work.  I would never,
ever, do something as cheesy as using used jugs off of Ebay, for example.
When I decided to learn Spanish, I got a bachelor's degree in it, and spent
six months in a part of Spain, where no one speaks English.  Now I am going
for a master's degree.  Just for a hobby.

Why don't you use something good?

The Deutz is a good design. i went out and got new cylinders, does
that make you happy?

Good design for a wood chipper maybe.  Jeeps do a lot of idle speed rock
crawling.  Any air cooled engine is going to overheat if idled too much.  I
think it's just a bad choice, like trying to learn Spanish or Arabic from
cassette tapes.  Then fly to Marrakech and try to get around.  Your first
day on the trail with the Deutz, if you get that far, is going to be like
that.

Bill will be glad you sprung for new cylinders though. :-)

Probably because the earlier air cooled quads were lacking a cooling
blower.

It looks as if you may have tuned in late.  Bret is planning to use an air
cooled Deutz engine, out of a wood chipper, that he got cheap because the
previous owner had cooked it.

You don't think it was the fact they ran it without oil, plus, the
several pounds of burnt leaves, twigs and dead rodents in the cooling
fins?  The crankcase when filled with biodiesel and allowed to sit a
couple of days discharged a huge amount of filth and sludge too. Yet it
wasn't totally destroyed.

The Onans I used to work on would get oil on the cooling fins.  Then dust
from the environment would glue itself to the oil, providing a base for even
more oil to stick there, and so on.  The stuff would build up, just like it
does on an air cooled Volkswagen with advanced mileage.  Remember the
squarebacks, with the paint burned off around the engine cooling vents?  It
would have been cool, to paint flames around them, but who needs that, when
you have real flames?

Gunk is not a good thermal conductor.  A problem is that you cannot readily
clean the oil and "stuff" off the cooling fins, without removing some sheet
metal.  How this works out for you, depends on how the beast fits under the
hood.

Another problem, is that you cannot run an air cooled engine at idle,
without losing cooling capacity.  This loses you one of the advantages of a
diesel for rock crawling, or even cruising along logging roads on a Sunday
afternoon--low speed torque.  You can't run them at the low speed, that you
want to.

Most Type III/IV fires happened beacuse of fuel leaks, not oil
gumming. It never happened on the Type I you will remember. It's pretty
easy to get pankake sheetmetal off and spray it down with Stoddard
solvent , which is the fix. Spray it down cold and let it sit a couple
of hours.

On the Deutz it's fairly easy to get the blower off and spray the
engine down with Stoddard solvent.

Provided you have an oil cooler set up properly a Deutz will crawl
nicely at 900 rpm. Gear for that and you are fine.

An oil cooler is no substitute for adequate cylinder cooling or should I say
proper cylinder temperature regulation.  If you don't watch it, that
aftermarket or heavy duty oil cooler option will just restrict your main
cooling air flow.  I am thinking that a heavier blower or a different size
crank pulley will help more.

Call me when you get to Silverton in it, and I will show you the trails and
logging roads.  On second thought, I will probably hear you coming into
town.

The Deutz has a distinctive and healthy sound. That's true.

But it also has a very well designed blower system that keeps it cool
across the power band as long as you are not lugging it. Low speed
crawling is using little power so the heads do not need to flow all
that much air.

The Deutz oiling is designed to use an outboard oil cooler at all
times which should be a low resistance affair. ALL air cooled engines
are partially oil cooled engines too, and the Deutz is designed with
that in mind. Before I got into working on this one I didn't realize
how much German design went into these little buggers and what
workhorses they are.

Deutz engines are used extensively in applications where that is
common. The air system is very sophisticated and keeps the engine cool
under about any condition except  trying to make power under lugging
conditions. Provided he gears it to crawling at FAST idle and watches
his oil temps he will be fine.

The big problem with Deutzes is fouling of the cylinders with airborne
debris. Rock crawling should not be a problem.

Roadway Package Systems had Deutz powered delivery trucks and aside
from not having heat in the truck the reliability was astonishingly
good once the mechanics learned to maintain them properly.

That's what I'm talking about, trying to make power under lugging
conditions.  The Jeep gearing may be low enough to avoid that, but I don't
know the Deutz power band myself.  Cylinders can get fouled with dust too,
if there is the slightest oil leak.  Typically, you would have to traverse a
few miles of gravel and/or dirt road, to get to the rocks.  Is it practical
to give the engine a bath, once you get it dirty?

Q: "So why does Roadway always use two drivers?"
A. "One knows the way there, and the other knows the way back!"

This newsgroup has a formal Charter.  It is a rec group and was set up
that way.  Mentioning the Charter 'normally' stops advertisers. Posting
it like it is supposed to be posted gives ISP's legitimate reason to
pull an idiots plug for abuse.  Only a.sholes come back at it with new
names.  

You should actually go and 'read' the charter before shooting off your
mouth about it being 'my' Charter.  It is located here with the full
voting process:

ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/rec/rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys

'I' had nothing to do with setting up the Charter or the voting on it,
nor do I go around reporting posts I don't like.  I might get mouthy
about them now and then, but I don't netcop them and I never get lippy
about off topic posts in any other group I post in because they don't
have a Charter.

If 'you' don't like it, 'you' are free to leave or please just killfile
me or any post that has the word 'Charter' in it so you don't have to
waste your time.
