"The engineer in me struggles with this" There are times we need to tell the engineer in our soul to sit back and ask Bubba how he would do it. ...

I received the sender today and hoped to get everything installed with a slightly longer nipple. Unfortunately, I discovered the 1.5 inch nipple I...

Dont try to drive the seal in from the axle tube. Driving the seal in through the axle tube without damaging the seal guide pressed into the tube...

Hahahaha, a quick one there Mikey!!!

bmorgil, that Corroseal rust converter is really pretty neat stuff. I investigated a whole bunch of different ones before I chose this. In its...

Thanks, guys, for your opinions. I'd rather rely on people who have direct knowledge of the job and the parts that I'm talking about than rely on my...

“That’s what she said…” Michael Scott ;)

It will work just fine, remember it is the diameter that maters.

Definitely use the new technology. There really isn't any comparison. The modern seals are way better. As Larry is eluding to, always try to stick to...

"By the way, does anyone have an opinion on whether the new style seal (with rubber) or the old style seal (leather?) is better?" Opinions are...

On a separate note, I've been cleaning the frame and axle tubes and anything and everything I encounter during this work and cleaning it up, removing...

Well, back to the drawing board... Tried to install the inner oil seals in the Dana 25 this weekend. I thought of putting my own tool together to...

Thanks bmorgil! Regarding the starter, I sent a message to the eBay supplier and finally received this message. “Our starters are built with...

You should be fine with what you’re doing davide. The sending unit will tell you if the cluster in the speedo is working the way it should and the...

And that's exactly what I saw, the bell housing blocking access to the cam :( These were all great ideas that you had, but I will head out to my...

The four wheel shift lever should be engaged or shaft forward, prior to installing the poppet balls, springs and plugs. The shift fork should not...

Davide you won’t be able to see the oil gallery’s that I referred to earlier unless the engine is out and the bell housing is off the motor, I’ve...

It is truly a handful! You definitely need to get used to it. A lot of power in a very small and light package.

Very nice!

Haha! Speaking of art…I may just put it in the study if it doesn’t run?!!:p

Yes davide your adapter does look like it’s shot as far as sealing. I’d get a new adapter, thread tape it good and try that hole again. Yes 90 is...

Now that's art Larry!

TJones, thanks for taking the time to check your location and calling the builder to get further information. 90 PSI seems insane and I'm curious to...

Ooohhh ,nice! Almost a shame to hide that between a head and a block it's so pretty.

bmorgil, thanks for the insight. Is there a certain position that the shift rail should be in, in relation to the ball/spring when installing? I'll...

Your doing a thorough job, attention to detail, you don't need luck! I think I should have been more clear on the types of head gaskets. The...

Awesome. Thanks for taking the time! I’m off to install the head. Wish me luck!

Yup for sure Mike on a Genuine Fel-Pro they go on dry no sealers or they would indicate it. You are sure right, there are a ton of "ideas" on how...

Oh I gotcha. I was confused. I did some searching on the Fel pro site and found the blue colored gaskets which are silicone I guess? Anyway, so...

If it is marked "This Side Up" then definitely install it that way. Fel-Pro's are always marked if it is critical to installation. The "Blue" is one...
