It's not normal. This video is pure sales pitch. 'As if' its possible to remove gib keys and flywheels. I've tried two ingines. Never managed it.
ministeamer

'Goes right 'dere in 'dat flywheel down yonder. When ya hit 'dis, it get's bigger.'

Interesting.`
MrDuck

How you write is how you are perceived.
What bothers me the most about writing methods used in public forums is run on sentences, texting style, or chat room style writing. It is difficult and even painful to read. Sentences like "wut's ur w8", etc, just don't belong on these forums and I am happy to say I very rarely, if ever, see that sort of rubbish here.

Aside from properly placed punctuation marks, it is nice just to have them. I have occaisionally read a paragraph here that was written as one long unintelligible jumble of run on sentences or phrases. That sort of writing wastes everyone's time, including the author's.

All in all, most of the reading here is high quality and of very decent content. This is a great place with a lot to offer.

Gil, I don't correct you (well not yet ) so why correct me  up untill now you have been the only one and as for punctuation marks well they just slow me down when I'm writing but thanks any way & heres some thing for you enjoy   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI...ljA&feature=player_detailpage   MHS

Thank you for the music. A lot of great bands were pictured there.

I'm certain you have a lot to offer here and I only wish to encourage you to apply a hair more time so that when you have a good story to share, it is easier to read and understand. Thanks.

More off topic... I lived in Denver for 5 years in the early 1980's and I sure did enjoy it.

Mile High Steamer

Thanks Gil for those kind words also remember when the Danials & Fisher clock tower was the tallest building in the city but 3rd in the whole country in 1911 & tallest west of the Mississippi river pity how all thows great peices of Denver history were just destroyed in the 50s, 60s, 70s & today sorry if I have wasted you're time its just Denver is the only place I've ever known as home & it's histoy is verry important to me and many others its just horrable that those "hippsters" are screwing this city into a mile highe virsion of crap town USA  Las Angeles What the heck?        sorry for how I lose my focus when it comes to Denver history MHS

I grew up in the 50's, in addition to what you mention there was also such a thing as manners and respect for others.

Old shopdog might talk funny (to some people    ) but he knows what he is doing.I bought an old Maytag twin and got it running like  new thanks to him.I wish I had just half is knowledge.

He is also a great chief if you have a cast iron stomach .

I am glad to see that he is putting this information on YouTube, so much information on old technology is going to the grave as old timers pass on.

Some years ago my brother and I were looking for something in the shop on the family farm, we were finding tools and jigs my Dad had stashed away in drawers that we had no idea what they were used for. Without his knowledge of how to use them they had sadly become useless.

I forgot to mention I love 50s music but Gil, Weedensteam, calypso you might insult my text but in person my speech is grand and I have pritty good penmanship I might add beleive it or not I have been raised up a full grade in school   it would be higher but my parents told my advisor to slow me down a bit its true I am a wiz in history & science and physics I am also well mannered as well   I already get enuff insulting & criticism in person I joined this forum so I could chat with people who share the same hobbie as I do   but if every one on here is just going to insult me and not read my posts and replys then how about I resign from the forum no one wants me here any way so as this might be my last reply I say good by TUM&OSF   also I do have a lot to offer this forum but no one will give me a chance   sincerly Mile High Steamer

Oh stay. You fool.

Look at it this way. We're old (ok I'm 31).
But too many words in one sentence without grammatic breaks is simply that much more difficult to read, cognitively process information and proces what you can type in return.

It starts not making sense, you don't need to repy and becomes an effort. We'd all be reading books otherwise.

You can ignore all these points if you like. Its completely your choice, but no-one would say anything if they didn't read your posts and were ignoring you. Wait to that happens.

stick around mile high they were just messing with you....

Been there, done that and failed. Had to take my engine to a engineering works to have the flywheels removed and it took 30 tons to remove them. I just got to make one of those gib key pullers, they look the biz.
