RE: Manifold Flap Stuck- that ani
Sounds like you're on the right track. Here's some points for you to consider;
Behind the water pump there's a sheet metal "water distribution tube" that runs inside the block to the rear and makes sure coolant gets circulated all the way to the back of the...
Ceramic coatings are the way to go for any hot areas; exhaust, turbo, etc.
Another thing to remember about powder-coating is that, since it's a bake-on plastic, it makes a wonderful insulator. I did a show car Model T frame once... then had to go back and grind down to bare metal everywhere I...
RE: Re: RE: Push button light switch
On the older three levers you can always flip to another setting unless the thing has broken and jammed itself up inside. The push button switches seem to quit working altogether and no amount of alternate button pushing will get a response out of them. At...
Is this any time any lights are on; park, black out, turn signals or is it just the headlights themselves? Narrowing down the suspect circuits is a big help in ferreting out problems. I'd start by looking around any place where debris can collect close to terminals. My first thought would be...
Another benefit in retarder braking; be it exhaust, drive-line, dynamic braking or in-the-transmission retarders is that it saves on wheel brake heat build-up/fade, wear & tear. And probably most important-- cutting back on the possibility of depleting your air from repeated applications.
Personally, I'm not real sure of a need to tell what the post-turbo EGTs going out the tailpipe are; by then they've done all the damage/good they're going to do.
Monitoring pre-turbo temps would be far more critical because that's where burned valves and valve seats, and burned turbine blade...
Bjorn; I posted some pictures of my hold downs in "Battery tray adapters", in the Electrical section. They're machined out of PVC block and grab the Optimas at the bottom. that way there's no top-of-the-battery obstructions for the cables and terminals. And thanks for the compliment; I made the...
Heating the bolt would be a waste of your time. The surrounding sheetmetal would act as a heat sink and draw heat away faster than it could be applied. Can you see the nut at all? With the aid of flashlight and mirror you might then get a look at what you're up against. What about making...
If the wind and the weather are right, nothing sends a gift that keeps on giving like a load of chicken manure. Have it delivered on the lawn, close to the windows, where it can't be readily scooped up. To keep it from being blown away, set the sprinkler on it.
Jon, I'll be at Tower Park w/wo. Looking forward to seeing other SS members. Glad to give you a tour.
Jack, Yes to hot-rods. I'm thinking baby HEMTT hi-rider... I've already got the 20" wheels; just need to find some of those 'spinner' wheel covers.
Does 4" exhaust, not quite seven feet from...
If you used the U.S. Mail to conduct any part of the transaction; give the Postal Inspectors a call. They get interested whenever there is a possibility of mail fraud. And the more heat for this guy, the better.
OK everybody, It's coming down here like pouring p1ss out of a boot but I took a few pictures so you don't think Ive been just sitting around, buffing my nails.
I got the last of the driveshafts shortened and I'm sure glad that's done. I still had to machine a little off of the shortest...
OK all. Recently I've had my attention diverted by; retirement, taking on another job, a speed bump health-wise and the fact that I have no garage and am working on the baby HEMTT in my driveway.
M1075, thanks for being kind enough to add that I didn't specify a year, but yer right... I feel...
