Putting my new garage door opener together
Chamberlan used to be made here in Waterloo. We went on a old house tour and walked through the old Chamberlan home. Yes it had a old garage door opener in it. Could have been original to the house which was built in the 1920's.

My last one was a Craftsman. Pretty sure they were made by Chamberlain too. Most are either them or Genie
I have had 2 garages and 2 Stanley's. They have worked flawless (so far). Knock on wood! We have a heavy 16' wooden door here with torsion springs. The chain drive does the trick.
Just making note of this.....when I got my Hughes Whiplash cam and lifter set, the directions (yeah, I know, I read them...sigh) it said specifically, do not presoak lifters. I always had, but they pointed out not to. IDK
Some say yes, some no. I always did and didn't have any issues.
Well,pulling pedals was a fail. Unless i remove steering column to get brake pedal off. And i think the shaft is bent. So its pull transmission and bell housing. Not happenin. So i split the boot. Used a tire patch to splice it back together, and will put some urethane inside to really mess it up.
What can it hurt?

I wasn't sure either, but seeing they are the engineers that designed and manufactured the parts, maybe they have their reasons. Their cam break in directions were different that what I was used to also.
Well after much confusion by many that I contacted. Today I finally got my Visa into Viet Nam. Almost impossible for an American to get in there now, with all of our Covid issues. Had to actually go to the VN Embassy in DC to make progress. But the woman I met there was very helpful and knowledgeable. Was there on Thursday. Today Fed Ex delivered the Visa. Think I'm leaving the day after my Birthday, leaving on the 18th

As it was explained to me the reason not to soak hydraulic lifters is that they may fill completely with oil and not give when cranking and cause valve to smack piston. Lube them and let oil pressure do the filling and self adjust. Just passing on the explanation I was given.
The more lift, the greater the chance of damage? Has something to do with that degree thing? I Dont Know...
Im done with these pedals. Thats all they gettin.
Yep.
I bet it has to do with cam break in

Howdy folks, 'bout time for my yearly check in.
Still up in Cambridge, gonna be 5 years in March. Covid kind of set me up well as I'm moved onto full time remote, so I'm getting closer and closer to my move outwest. Still riding bmx and doing web design **** lol
Started actually budgeting for car for once I move and have the garage space. Been really into the lifted (<6") el caminos, but only because it looks like finding a Plymouth Scamp truck is few and far between
Hope you're all staying happy/healthy/safe throughout the holiday seasons!
