I just dealt with aeration in the hydraulic system on one of my forklifts. Root cause => clogged strainer. Symptoms, besides the aeration, was a loss of hydraulic pressure. A cavitating pump will aerate the oil and drop your pressure.

But, what do I know.

Well since the engine normally lives in my wagon, might as well put wagon updates..
Definitely not great at all the welding angles..

She runs.. doesn't want to idle at 700, settles down to around 800.. probably have a vacuum leak somewhere... still doable, still pulls 18-19inhg at idle.
Might pull IAC check the seat seal, though pluging it's intake port for fresh air doesn't change anything..

That heat barrier made a HUGE difference floor pan inside is around 100-110°f above the exhaust and exhaust pipes are running 300-400°
Thought this was pretty cool.. manage to catch the exhaust pulse on my IR gun
