Tor, it was nice to read this thread. I would like to add a few things.
First of all, a nice old lathe can be purchased that works just as well or better than a new one. Mine is a South Bend from '46. I will upgrade at some point to a Colchester lathe and is much larger.
I know that you were measuring compression ratio, but over here, the best suggestion is to deck the block and have a clearance of 0.81-0.88mm between the top of the piston and the head. Even-though it is a tighter gap, it produces less detonation with a high compression than a lower one.
Lastly, in the U.S. there are so many cars that I don't pay attention to much older american ones. My favorite truck is International. You can search ebay.com for Dodge Power Wagon and see the results for yourself.
I really just like all older Volvo stuff the most. By the way, you have seen this video right?

Lastly look up Volvo Viking Trucks.

Nice old lathe you have there! I think the stiffness is very good. There is av interesting Colchester on sale here in Norway to an nice prise new: 13 000 kroner. May be I´ll go for this:

About the engine: "I know that you were measuring compression ratio, but over here, the best suggestion is to deck the block and have a clearance of 0.81-0.88mm between the top of the piston and the head. Even-though it is a tighter gap, it produces less detonation with a high compression than a lower one."
The gap has to be there becasue of the aluminium expansion. But may be this is importent? But how? I did not understand? Maybe you can explain it further?
Another thing is that the piston normaly is about 0,1 mm under the block. Normaly some of us dont measure that, because this is a good extra to conmpensate for carbon...(buildup).
Du you have an experiense og 123 ignition. I am not sure avbout the vakuum? Im not sure that is has av vakuumregulation?
About cars: May be you like this?
Well I will take a look to a International. I was driving one for many years ago.. There is only a few of them in Norway left, may be under twenty?
Funny tractor by the way....

Ikke verst den heller:
Og skal man på hyttetur så må man vel ha en eldre utgave som denne?

Det var en bil etter min smak. Nesten (men bare nesten) like fin som Duett.

Den gule "Suggen" er jo en våt drøm...

Suggan er både rar og rå. Den har fine egenskaper i terrenget, etter hva jeg ha sett og forstått. Men jeg har ikke prøvd den..Jeg så forresten en på Svinesund for få år siden, og da hadde jeg ikke med fotoapparat! Tror noen jeg angret på det eller?

Ikke for å være pirkete, men det er vel egenskapene på vei som er viktigst for oss?

Jo da, men terrengkjøring er morsomt når man velger det selv...
Det er jo noen fine terrengløyper I området Maarud, som man kan boltre seg på. Har vært der et par ganger, og LandRoverklubben er visst nok mye der og leker seg... Sist jeg var der pløyde noen igjennom den verste søla og brukte vaiertrekk på den verste delen. Men igjen, det var litt utenom allfarvei i dobbelt forstand.

Helt enig i at terrengkjøring er gøy.
Har noen måneders erfaring fra Volvo Felt.
Utrolig gøy i terrenget, men ikke spesielt gøy på landeveien....

Tør jeg nevne at en Cruiser kan gjøre begge deler? Eller er det å gå for langt?

Rart at du skulle nevne akkurat det....
Har ikke prøvd den i veldig kupert terreng, men der jeg har kjørt er fremkommeligheten eksemplarisk.

Det er å gå for langt, 445.
Denne derimot
(Dessverre ikke helt ekte vare, men andre har jo lagt ut bilder av Land Rover før, så da så)

Jeg har også hørt at "mitt i buschen" (Mitsubishi) også har firehjultrekkere? Vet du hlyshaug noe om det?
