If it were mine, I'd leave the m/c alone,(warranty) install the w/cs with the expanders. The previous post forgets the return springs returns the shoes to the "anchor", and cannot compress, or put any pressure on the hydraulics, so no delay if adjusted properly, expanders keep cup in contact...

I had a lady wanting to rent a house for a "daycare". She pleaded with me to come see where she lived now, coupla hundred miles up-island. Went , looked, she had that house all up to nec codes, showed me all the kid stuff, yard stuff, safety stuff, she would install, and extra insured it. She...

When suite is open to view for rental, never say the unit is "available", cuz legally you may bind a contract. Say there "have been several applicants whose references have to be checked" inferring there are applicants ahead/prior, - avoiding "first come/served situation". Got stung there ...

Ohhh yeah, there are folks that use/game the system. My worst were welfare, govt cheque, laws say ya gotta take em. That's why finding out who wants to move in is sooooo important. He's worked for ATT for 12 yrs, she been at Macy's for 5 yrs. Call employer to find if true. Ask employer if...

A little more efficient than my #9 iron .

For flat-rate, we'd tap whichever tab (L or R) with a hammer to allow the cyl piston to come outta the bore, check, hone, replace cups/pistons/dust boot, then pry the tab back up to retain pistons.

Pull the plugs, they should tell by the deposits . One should be different.

Thank-you. Lotsa opinions, lotsa minutiae, I have many "strange" things I do in engine prep. What h/p they add individually, prob unmeasurable, but together, they seem to get the job done. Next time I build a gear-drive, 6000+ rpm engine, I'ma gonna drill a hole,. Thnx again, sincerely, luv...

There is a special "shoulder" bolt that goes thru the pedal and pushrod. Often the wrong bolt, or a washer was added, or just gunk gets on that bolt, and it binds on the return. Try loosening the nut/bolt thru the pedal. If that eases the problem, find out why it's bindin and repair it. Don't...

Always searching for new info, I'm wondering what symptoms of lack of lubrication to the timing set is showing. We've built the BBlks and Hemisback in the day, had a 340 Barracuda running 2/10s off the NHRA record. Lotsa really stout street engines with UBER valve springs. We also build, repair...

That was several decades, and dozens of engines ago. I was just a pup . lol I'll try again tomorrow, just for the hell of it .

My $0.02. I think you will find there is a small pocket behind the top left bolt with hole. The residual oil in the valley will be right up to the hole in the bolt, any additional oil will cause oil to flow out the hole in the 2 top bolts. Those 2 top bolts are what? 3/8 of an inch below those 2...

The residual pressure valve was designed to hold enuff pressure to keep the wheel cyl cup "lips" in contact with the cyl wall, to prevent fluid loss while not in use, - was what I was taught, and was in my Red Seal Manual. Look it up . Newer design wheel cyls came out with the spring, originally...

The spring in the wheel cylinder between the cups makes the residual valve in the Master cyl, redundant, not nec. So, if the wheel cyls have a spring, you don't need the residual valve in the m/c.

Awesome story . Proud of you and your son . Excellent Ambassadors of Mopar Sports. Thanks for all you guys do ! !

I had the quick Crete once, used kitty litter in all the heat ducts, once, - pot grow, (didn't complain, I'd grown it there when I lived there), doors kicked in, attic filled with garbage, dead cars left behind. I kept saying "they" ain't gonna win . They didn't. I'm very much farther ahead...

For the most part, we had great renters, mainly cuz we researched them. Part of the bold print on the rental application stated, "the insurance company demands a walk-through of the property every 90 days." They sign it, and you do it. Good tenants, We seldom increased rents, and if we did...

If your headers are Doug's or TTI, the flanges are pretty fair/true, and seal on regular header gaskets very well. I've always used the header gasket supplied, or Mr. Gaskets with great success, if the flanges are true. Never needed " Remflex" .

I'll just repost my response from years ago, still true. Biggest regret, - not researching the prospect tenant enuff, NOT GOING TO SEE HIS PRESENT ABODE, knocking on the door to peek inside, to make sure it was tidy, and they actually lived there. - CUZ - - I/We were too lazy, it was...

What on earth would you need any kind of weapon for in Canada? Case of beer, ounce of decent pot, . . . you're all good . Welcome to Canada .

Clean the battery terminals, particularly +, clean the wire ends too.

...is firing, timing mark should be at zero. Drop shaft/distributor to have rotor pointing at #1 wire on cap. Give it lotsa initial timing, - 12 - 25*s, an engine without lotsa timing will generate excess heat, fill float bowls, shot of gas down the carb. Vroom, check for oil pressure, look...

Dist 180* out fires the cylinder in valve overlap (both valves open) the result is usually a backfire, not a "balk".

By rule, had to run stock, just carried spares, and learned to shift. Went to manual shift auto, got tired of changing early syncro-rings. More hardware .

Yes, there were heavier gauge rockers avail, I also have a set. I punched the pushrod thru a few rockers, usually on a missed shift, the piston would spank a valve, witness mark on piston confirmed. Carried spare rockers in glove box beside the spare ballast resistor.

Too bad, - water filled ?

Toe outta whack will cause wheels to bind, raise/lower car, makes car difficult to roll. Just throwing it out there .

Folks'll get a kick out you stopping, kid or? dunking bucket into trailer tank, running up and pouring in rad. Leave the cap off, no pressure, less coolant loss, maybe just perch an old funnel in top, pour water in rad. Probably be a big hit, Sounds like fun, Good luck. (Marine pump is...

Saw video. We're it mine. I'd take the black solenoid apart, and see why the contact that jumps elec across those 2 big wire contacts isn't jumping. It's usually a big copper washer, sometimes the contact areas just "wear" away, or whatever secures the washer to plunger fails. Often, washer can...

The bottom cyl on my ski boat occasionally got water when moored stern too the waves. Is that possible, maybe try taking spark plugs out, should spin free then. idk.
