Stop in for a cup of coffee

[dartnabout]

I had a good break yesterday. I have not been able to get my Firetruck inspected because of the wheels being welded on (poorly) Max drug in an old frame and it had a dually rear that he is scraping (no gears) and it has the 6 bolt wheels that I have been looking for for years! Free to me!

Good Morning Chris

Morning tikey

I think I got Chris's toenails in a curl. He didn't respond to my posi response. He may need to get professional help for that.

Nah I was getting ready to go out in this nice warm weather

Chris going out for a free meal today? I am thinking Outback for myself.

nope. Never do. I haven't earned it

Well give up. Gonna have to swap the front spindles on the polara to load it. Damn things are seized to the spindles.

Alright!

I ended up paying $204 for a valve seat cutter kit shipped. A 3/8" reamer (didn't really need that) and the following cutters are included:

- 30 degree 2 1/8"
- 30 degree 1 3/4"
- 45 degree 2 1/8"
- 45 degree 1 5/8"
- 60 degree 2"
- 60 degree 1 1/2"

Now all I have to do is wait and pray that the quality isn't terrible ...

 

[360DartGT66]

Pretty good service. I e-mailed the guy a couple of hours ago and received the reply just a little while ago. He put together and listed this kit on request:

CHRYSLER LA HEADS VALVE SEAT RESTORATION KIT 3 ANGLE CUT PERFORMANCE HEAD | eBay

You heat them up real good?

 

[dukeboy440]

You heat them up real good?

As best I could with a plumbers torch. I think I'm gonna bring the big torch next weekend. I don't think the little torch got it hot enough.

Get a MAP gas torch. Get lots hotter then propane.

Do you have a hub puller? There is no way that you should not be able to take the axle nut off and pull the whole assembly. Those bearing should have been greased and would not have rusted. Your shoes is rusted to your drum. Take a couple big screw drivers and work it off. Yes it will take time but I just did 12 inch hubs on a motor home last fall. It took 2 of us and working. No puller. But if you put a hub puller on the hub it will break the shoes loose if you hammer the drum.
