Header wraps cause crevice corrosion on stainless steel piping. If you're dry all of the time this shouldn't be an issue. Heat shields are more effective, though. If you follow that route. Copy what modern cars do. They routinely pack hot exhaust systems in cramped places.

Less back pressure is always better. On a naturally aspirated motor the high energy exhaust pulses in small tubes travel at high velocity which reduces their pressure (Bernoulli). A turbo engine benefits from no such effect post turbo. Bigger shorter straighter is better. With that said, I don't...

The only thing you need done is to have the cups replaced. The rest of that is unnecessary up sale. Remember, fuel is leaking ino the coolant. Coolant isn't leaking into the injectors. Look closely at your timing cover leak. The gaskets are not prone to failure. Timing covers crack from poorly...

Everything looks great. Not to be a negative Nancy but upping wiring gauge for no real reason puts a lot of stress on the terminals. This applies to many applications. I get stuck with many controls and automotive situations where someone uses 14 gauge in lieu of 18. The heavy gauge wire...

My bike history: 2x 1970 Honda CT 90 1986 Yamaha TT225 1987 Honda CR250R 2005 Yamaha R1 2001 Yamaha YZ250 2018 Yamaha MT-10 2001 Honda XR650R Current garage has both 2001 bikes. Guess which bike is still my favorite? My neighbor has one he is offering for free but it's so expensive and time...

I am an operator of marine diesel engines. I have made some observations with regards to temperatures. It's generally understood that higher engine temperatures do result in lower cylinder wear rates. I believe the wear is a result of corrosion due to condensation in the crankcase. With the...

It's a 1008. Yes, I installed only zero rates and trimmed only the front of the fender. I'm running skinny tires, 37x12.5.

Have you considered offsetting the front axle forward? I offset mine and cleared 37 inch tires without having to cut the rear of the wheel arch. I have only 1" of lift due to the offset perch.

Honestly, I have freed up the driveshaft and beadblasted the ends. The splines are almost completely wasted away. I don't trust it so I plan to replace it soon. I was planning to let the driveshaft shop do the hard work of finding a boot or use that blue coating modern assemblies use. This...

Are the splines coated to prevent corrosion? I broke my transfer case because the splines on my front driveshaft seized due to corrosion. I do recommend using polyurea based grease for splines. They're shear stable which means the oil doesn't separate from the thickener when spun like a...

I use these crimpers for hooking up generators and doing battery lugs. Hydraulic shouldn't be necessary at 2/0. Crimpers, for 8 to 250 MCM AWG Copper and 8 to 4/0 Gauge AWG Aluminum https://www.mcmaster.com/7996K12

It doesn't have a boot on its slip joint. My M1008 broke it's transfer case when the front driveshaft slip seized. Lots of BS terminology in the add.

" If you ever worked on old Yamahas, you know they used Phillips head screw bolts." No Phillips screws on a Japanese bike. They are JIS cross screws. A Phillips screwdriver has the wrong profile and will strip JIS screws. However, a JIS screwdriver fits Phillips screws much better than a...

Is the HMMWV not isolated ground? In that case it shouldn't matter if a terminal touches the body.

I've done 800 miles in 1 day in my M1008. It was pouring rain. I was driving though Oregon which has 3 trailer trucks. I could pass them on the uphill but they would pass me on the downhill. Couldn't see see anything when they were next to me which happened regularly. Interesting trip. If...

I dumped WAY too much ATF in my TH400 before I finally found the leak. The plug for the parking brake panel shaft had popped out. In fact, I rebuilt the transmission with my favorite Hughes kit and STILL had the leak 😢. I finally found it and hammered some copper tubing in the hole. Hasn't...

Can you get some donor steel rims and have them welded on your centers? For the M1008 I found a bunch of Dodge rims from 2000ish on Rock Auto. They were cheap.
