Is the seal really rubber, or just another Viton seal being called rubber. Rubber does not handle heat very well, as anybody who has stripped down an engine with rubber valve seals knows. I like the brown Silicon seals.
With re-ground cams, you are limited by how much you can change the LSA from the original LSA of the cam...because the metal has already been removed. Doing so will result in a very small lobe
No you can't do that in the car. The reverse idler shaft needs to be pressed out of the case to get the pivot shaft out. That's why the reverse o-ring never gets changed, and now with the aging they all seem to leak there.
That's not really a problem on the old transmissions.
First I heard of looking at the remaining threads on that adjuster was with looking into diesel Rams.
@cruiser Why did you throw the original torque converter away? While you are so satisfied restoring a cruddy TF? Sounds odd.
I wondered also why the electronic reg is needed. My guess is that it reduces the amplitude [ size ] of voltage changes in the charging system, maintaining a more stable voltage; electronics do not like voltage spikes.
I need to do the same on a 727, but I don't expect to use it for a few years so I don't want to get water inside it.
Are the kids pissed of about their wagon?
9k miles Superbird.
Owners were told the emissions sticker was placed upside down.
I object!
It's as it was placed by the dude who placed it there at the exact time it was originally placed there.
So it's correct.
So if an aftermarket manufacturer was making a shroud I suspect they would not put part numbers or logos on it as that could get them in trouble. but if a person was trying to sell the part and say it was OEM it would be difficult to put raised letters etc on it vs melting letters etc into it
Interesting.
And no seal plate on the engine side of the firewall
I guess I'll have to make another heater delete plate.
Any idea what date they changed that?
Thursday all the cars from the USA come in by ferry,supposed to be something to see. Hope we can get a good spot. Friday evening they cruise the harbour. Saturday poker run. Sunday is the show,but we fly out early.
