    Recent GL Sale Looksee

    Clinto, I believe your right! Lots of all kinds are going for really stupid prices. I think a employee some where is bumping the bids.

    starting advice

    I have worked on a lot of M.A.N.N. engines. They all have oil groves in the bearings. The crankshaft is the first one to get oil. The bad news? The turbo gets it's oil last.

    OMG! HELP!!

    The pitman arm is the arm on the steering box. The arm he is tring to remove is on the knuckle. Right by the top ball joint. Striking the 3 stud won't help. Although it does relieve a small amout of fustration. Striking the end to rotate it a bit on the knuckle should help.
