    Master Cylinder Replacement

    my local AZ store had some bleeder screws in stock. Often bleeders are not vehicle specific, just like a few different grease zerk fittings fit a billion different apps...........except those damn IH TD 9 track rollers.

    Master Cylinder Replacement

    My experience is that when some place charges a asinine price for shipping and "handling", they often are not good with customer service either, after they got your money.

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    have the head magna fluxed. I'd be more concerned about the head, than the piston cracks. also I would drop the pan and make sure the piston oilers are all working (not clogged)

    No....and since it, and everything else is made in China, its guaranteed to fail at some point.

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    I have never seen 900F at idle, even with my fuel cranked up. I would suggest getting a hand held pyrometer and doing some temp checks. At 900F idle, the exhaust gas coming out would be extremely noticeably hot. I would suspect your gauge/probe is acting up or uncalibrated/mismatched.

    6.8 V10 in a deuce?

    It "may" also fit better with the transfer case attached to the transmission too. maybe a little firewall sheet metal work instead of the hood and nose panels too. Lots of tape measure work to do first.
