  1. Important thing to remember! All repairs begin with removal of the rear bumper and disassemble your way forward and sideways at the same time.
    101
  2. You're watching it because it's not you doing it. Always more interesting when it's not your fingers getting smashed.
    33
  3. Stil8l need to remove the rear bumper.
    22
  4. That is why I only answer calls that are in my directory. Don't even have the ringer on unless I am expecting a call. They can leave a message and maybe I'll get back. After all it's my phone.

  5. Exploding grindstone are no joke. They are a bomb going off right in front of you at close range. I try to stand out of line when using.

  6. Good tools will stay with you for a lifetime. I still have tools from the first Craftsman tool set that I bought when I was 16. Just turned 72. Those have been joined by many more over the years.
    19
  7. Just a little fussy but cast iron will only make crystals.
    16
  8. A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't. Doesn't matter what they look like, get good penetration and continuous weld that's all that matters.

  9.  @TEDodd  Setting up a differential is all about tedious. Every time one setting changes another moves out of adjustment. You just have to keep fiddling with it.
    15
  10. Nothing is ever lost until the Wife Unit can't find it.
    12
  11. There is probably a 400 dollar specialty tool from BMW to address the rearmost screw removal. However you must be at an authorized dealership to order one and after you have jumped through all the hoops, paid the money you find out that although you have bought the tool it can never leave the dealership. You will still own it but can never use ti.

  12. Unfortunately not driving a vehicle causes more damage than running it in a normal way. Keeping up with maintenance and getting it up to temp will make it last longer than ignoring it.
    12
  13. That tank fit well for a rotomolded aftermarket anything. Rotomolded tanks tend to move around as they cool and over time. The material is a cross linked polyethelene and that stuff isreally puncture resistant. If its good enough for a fuel tank on a M1A tank its good enough.

  14.  @BlondieHappyGuy  Never resist a reference to Airport!

  15. Brother had a TR6 that did the slowest rollover in history ( Slid down an ice covered road sideways propelled by wind, no forward speed.) Hydro locked one cylinder and the piston failed at the oil ring. Being a glorified tractor engine it just pushed the piston top up and kept on running on 5 cylinders.

  16. You have to remove the dash to get to the one in the trunk.
    8
  17. That was my first thought also. Master cylinder leaks into booster, vacuum sucks fluid into engine.
    7
  18. Probably a 24 incher.

  19. The first time I heard the "click" reference was on a story about a crew who were salvaging a B29 off a beach in Greenland. They were tightening the nut that holds the propeller on. They had a bar through it that was about 10 feet long and there were several people hanging on it when someone yelled "click". Unfortunately when they were taxiing down the beach to turn around to take off, a APU fell over, started a fire and it burned up.

  20. If your using an AC welder you need to go to 6011 or 6013. The flux provides a conductive atmosphere because the arc stops and restarts the other polarity 60 times a second.
    6
  21. The problem with most extractors is they expand the stub almost guaranteeing failure.

  22. Worked in a soybean plant and we had an oil pump that would stop moving oil. The boss man ( A chemical engineer fresh out of college) said the problem was the pump shaft seal. We changed that out 3 times, the seals were 1500 dollars each. The mechanics said it was polarizing oil. Oil turns into a rubbery material that clogs up the pipe. Much discussion ensued about that with the boss saying it must be the seal because I'm a chemical engineer and I'm smarter than all the mechanics who had cleaned this stuff out before. They finally went ahead and pulled out a couple of pieces of pipe and cleaned out the oil goo. Problem solved. Cost of a couple of 10 dollar gaskets. Not the first nor the last thing this idiot pulled. Do I sound a little bitter?

  23. Dremel makes a 1/8th inch carbide burr. Works well as long as you don't put a lot of sideload as they are brittle.
    6
  24. With baling wire you will have all the material that is needed to repair Jeeps and PT Cruisers.
    6
  25. Time to build upa stock of redneck creepers ( cardboard). But I have gone to Harbor Freight and gotten cheap moving blankets.
    6
  26. I have worked around large fast rotating machinery and once you see a wedding ring get smashed around a finger you will lose yours too. A person can always put it back on after work.
    5
  27. Brother had a 454 with the HEI setup in it. It would go through spells of killing the coil. He finally found the capacitor was loose and apparently losing its ground. Snugged that down and end of problem.

  28. If an employer treats the help with respect and pays fairly they won't be wondering why no one wants to work.
    5
  29. Also the other things about tying the footer into the existing floor really needs to be done to anchor things in. If more is better then too much is about right.
    5
  30. Only happens when the dilithium crystal's need realigned.
    5
  31. Hard to tell what kind of alloys are being used anymore. I think that the use of purely cast iron is a thing of the past and at least trying a welder is worth a shot. If you get a good melt and bonding on the edges then you've saved your customer at least several hundred dollars.

  32. Bumper sticker " Yes this is my truck, no I won't help you move."

  33. Call the exterminator!!!

  34.  @xuser48  Old days? Seems to also be the current scene.

  35. Welding is an artform. The technical side can be taught in a classroom but the reality of building consistent properly penetrating welds is an art. It's about seeing and hearing the weld process. Can't get that anywhere else but spending hours under the helmet.
    4
  36. I inherited a 93 from my brother that he dropped a 97 engine into. It must have some ratio of highway gears in it and when he put 15 inch wheels off an 83 Bronco on it it will wind to 60 in third gear with no strain. It's the 2.3 four so it has no power but as long as you have the time it'll get you there.
    4
  37. Allen wrenches come in two sizes, too big and too small nothing in between.
    4
  38. Maybe we really, really need to concentrate on natural stupidity and wait on AI until we can understand it.
    4
  39. Those front axels will not take the loads imposed by those massively oversized tires and all the additional loads from the large offset other wheels. Just another "Florida Man".
    4
  40. That's the way my dad taught me also. He was a Navy assigned to a light cruiser working on the Seaknight floatplanes. They would catapult them off and recover them with a crane. His ship was the Nashville and they participated in the Foolittle
    4
  41. Probably even leaving some money to help replace it.
    4
  42.  @Bryan-Hensley  Take those numbers with a large block of salt. They might be right and they might be a wild assed guess.
    4
  43.  @craigfin3222  There is a ton of work and commitment that these people put into building these sites and they do deserve to be compensated. GOOD FOR THEM.

  44. The flanks are the same as a Phillips but the tip is flattened by about 3 mils.
    4
  45. And still have the same problem.
    4
  46. You are only short if your feet don't reach the floor. Otherwise your fine.
    4
  47. I did the rear hubs on my 2007 Toyota and while I was in there I did the parking brakes. All new shoes and small parts. Brought back my dislike for drum brakes all over again.
    4
  48. If you refill that hole with cement nothing will hold. What is needed is concrete. If there is no aggregate, there is little strength. Just a comment from a fussy old fart. 😂😂😂
    4
  49.  @GusFromDaysPast  Engineering is a styling afterthought.
    4
  50. Only has to hold until the first bolt is in. That truck won't be taken apart until heck freezes over.
    4
  51. Right tool for theb job. I inherited a 100 watt iron when my wife's dad pa used away. S older lugs on 1/0 welding leads no pr oblem.
    4
  52. I could see that thing taking one monumental bounce into the Wife Units car because that is how it works.
    4
  53. They have all kinds of channels and drains. Big and strong enough for engine or trans teardown. Plus really handy for Halloween.
    4
  54. Thank you for chiming in with the correct information.
    4
  55. The question is can you replace the truck for what is going to be put into this? Any small sized new pickup is going to be at least 30k and won't have the usefulness of this one.
    4
  56. People forget to keep the blinker fluid topped up or put right fluid into the left one and vice versa then they cancel each other out.
    4
  57. The m8d seventy were the start of the fat ass boulevard cruisers. Emission controls, side impact bars, front and rear bumpers and more creature comforts.
    4
  58. Basically been upgraded to a 350 level. One of those bunnies will set you back 100 grand plus. If he gets this running for under 50k then he is beyond golden.

  59. Chicken guts and mystery meat. Yum

  60.  @Rambogner  Tartan paint is on the shelf in the basement next to the striped paint.
    4
  61. Does that "feature" really save fuel or is it way to skew lab results? Has anyone run a real world test on fuel milage with it on versus off?
    3
  62. Won't drop that until the scale is in sight!
    3
  63. With the 400 block and a little stroking and boring you can have a SB 427. If more is better then too much is just about right.
    3
  64. Works for some people. Burn an expensive piece of beef and pour catsup on it.

  65. The realy bummer thing was after the Kia flipped and crashed the truck tire rolled up and hit it for the final humiliation.
    3
  66. If you are not used to it having a car on a dolly towing behind you is kinda spooky.
    3
  67.  @dandaman4985  No point in paying for improvements on a rental unless the owner ponies up the money. Maybe chip in the labor to install.
    3
  68. If buying a used car have a shop run the scanner. The true milage is locked into the computer.
    3
  69. @russellstyles5381  Yes, thanks. My spelling is going bad.
    3
  70. Laid out on the side of the road and changed out a fuel pump on '78 big block Suburban. Took 15 mins.
    3
  71. Tech with a special tool and the trans mounted in a fixture after having done the fiftieth trans that day says thats not hard.
    3
  72. Squatch 253 just finished rebuilding a D2 engine and the pony motor. He has spent months on this project, finding all the correct parts, machining the bearing boss on the pony motor and a bunch of other things. Anyway, just released the video of the first start of both the pony motor and then the Diesel. Two completely overhauled engines to start at the same time. Talk about nervous. Chech his channel out.
    3
  73. Worked third shift for many years and when a weekend came I would try to stay up to have family time. When you get to the 6 to 40 hour state nothing seems real. Everything has a fuzzy edge to it. Very bad feeling.

  74. My fa voice essential oil is Bacon

  75. And the third time the computer locks up, the laser begins to communicate with Alpha Centari and the servos will begin to act like helicopter rotors. You will have to call the manufacturer for repairs and they will not have the one technician that knows what it is will not be available for the foreseeable future rhat time being about 2 minutes after the warranty lapses.
    3
  76. That's what gantry cranes were invented for.
    3
  77. Except for screwdrivers, those are chisels.😂
    3
  78. Rear drums contribute plenty of stopping power along with front discs. But they are more complex than discs so I don't know why manufacturers held onto them so long.
    3
  79. Bought a 2007 Toyota Solara off my neighbor for a reasonable price. It's in pretty good shape, doesn't look like 18 years old. I went through the chassis not because anything was bad but because I had some time. Have done everything but front wheel bearings and lower control arms. 150k miles, drives better than new and oil changes at 500 miles. Oil comes out nearly as clean as when it went in. I've got a really decent car for about 20% of new. By the way it's the 3.3 V6 so it is probably going to carry me to my funeral.

  80. Subs, views and. Moments all count be they fans or trolls. So ignore trolls unless they have their own channels to portray how they do things. Takes a lot of courage to lay your life out in front of the world.

  81. It helps when the bed of trailer tilts really helps to reduce the hump in the middle.
    3
  82.  @bradhaines3142  You forgot removing the back bumper.
    3
  83.  @chubbysumo2230  Had one in my 1994 Burb. Replaced radiator and replacement had a pinhole leak in tank so that was fun. I love my job so much I do it twice
    3
  84.  @jerryhatrick5860  Usually the different colors mean different fluids. Blue is typically DOT5 which is silicone based. Not to be used in DOT3 or 4.

  85. Doesn't belong to him.
    3
  86. They used pins because do you know how much it costs to run another cycle on a machining center to buzz a keyway in there? Oh heavens the agony of investing a couple of dollars to avoid catastrophic failure.
    3
  87. Why would they put door locks on an open tube door🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

  88. ​ @forgetfulme1719  Wants to expand it not melt it into a puddle.

  89. 33 years in printing at a Magazine, Catalog plant. Thousands of screaming crush points. You learn to leave things off that can get grabbed. When the machine has 2 200 horsepower motors driving printing units it doesn't even care if you are stuck in it.

  90. Beamed an Anti-Gravity unit down from the Enterprise. Piece of cake.
    3
  91. Very much like the one big nut that holds the rotor on a helicopter.
    3
  92. The coolest looking headers were used by Lotus (lots of trouble usually serious) in their racers. They were used on a hot v engine. They were called " nest of snakes" . I couldn't imagine how long it took to bend and weave lay that pipe into that sculpture.
    3
  93. The Wife Unit is going to have to qualify as a Flight Engineer on a B36 to be able to monitor all the subsystems. Just think 6 turning and 4 burning.

  94. Unfortunately there is always one that will abuse their neighbors goodwill to the point that everyone will have to get a 25 foot ladder.
    3
  95. Brake micrometers use points on both sides to account for grooving. Using one of those may show even thinner rotors.
    3
  96. In the rust world those inverted spring plates hold dirt and water and do a good job of rusting the u-bolts through right where you cannot see it until it snaps.
    3
  97. And you have a new set of friends every day.
    3
  98. Because of the batteries EV's have a huge carbon footprint and unless recharged on guaranteed renewable sources are just moving the pollution into someone else's backyard. The future holds the nightmare of recycling all those million of toxic batteries. The mess in recycling lead acid units is going to seem microscopic in comparison.
    3
  99. Looks like most of the heat went into the ring on the control arm. That will serve to shrink that ring and tighten it up.

  100. He figured out how to get more FaceTime by angling the camera and scanner just so😅
    3
  101. Running dual ignition systems is for redundancy. The systems are independent
    3
  102. It is the same basic design. That thing is bullet proof. I have had 2 of them, a 199 from early 70's Rambler and a AMC 232.

  105. I have the rest of a bottle of Champion anti-seize, small bottle that's lasted 60 years. Don't need much and I use it under electrical connectors as it is basically just glycerin and graphite. I am a believer in anti seize after unscrewing a helical and having to change out a cylinder on a Lycoming.
    3
  106. Those things are bulletproof, see the videos about turboing them.
    3
  107. What happens when you play a country song backwards? Your three wives come back, your truck becomes unwrecked, the dog comes back to life.
    3
  108. Class of 1970 here, same. Inside of every 60 something is a 20 year old screaming " What the heck happened!"
    2
  109. It just takes a bit for the pistons to figure out which hole they belong in. That may be different from day to day. Radial aircraft engines sound the same way. It takes them a while to work the oil out of the bottom cylinders, burn it out of the exhaust, get the pistons running in their own cylinder and warm enough to get things tightened up. Once they are running though there isn't anything that sounds like them.

  110. Being fussy as the odometer doesn't show tenths.

  111. Did he check both left and right blinker fluid reservoirs?
    2
  112. When Boeing was in the design phase on the 777 they used a digital manikin of an average male to make sure everything was accessible.
    2
  113. If you want to see a lubricant make brake shoes sticky try gear lube when the rear axle bearings go bad. You have to reverse to make them release.
    2
  114. I had a coil wire corrode on the cap, found out you have to buy an entire set of wires to get the coil wire. Any need a set of SBC wires.
    2
  115. Even chance the two oil pans were made by the same manufacturer. Auto companies do not make their own small parts anymore.
    2
  116. Almost impossible to find unadulterated R12 anymore. It's cut with all kinds of junk, most of it flammable.
    2
  117. The fun starts when people notice that the pump never shuts off. Especially when you get to aboutthe 40 gallon point and you start looking under the truck like " Where is all the juice going?"
    2
  118. Just a thought but with in excess of 480,000 subs if he nets $1 from each per year thats not bad. Generating content to fill the yawning suction of YouTube is nearly a full time job. It's his choice of a path and more power to them.

  120. When you pull the plug wires off be sure to number them so they don't get out of ti ing order!😂😂
    2
  121. Cylinders were straight enough, crank spun over easily enough. Shade tree measuring says good enough for a stock build on a low miles engine. Rings and bearings are cheap enough to replace. Carefully reassemble it and send it.
    2
  122. Once you've pounded them in and bent them over they're in for good and maybe forever.
    2
  123. Wifes.

  124. Wouldn't it be quicker to just grab the cutting torch and trim everything out of the way? Then Gorilla tape things mostly back in place.
    2
  125. Didn't Banks build a twin turbo setup for these?
    2
  126. Some folks like to row their way around. My brother always liked that. Personally letting the car do the work Is good for me although I do have a row your own pickup that I inherited from him.
    2
  127. I saw that with an explanation. That pickup was massively overloaded with too much of that weight biased to the rear.
    2
  128. Never too much lube till it splashes on the ceiling!
    2
  129. But is it Left blinker fluid or Right blinker fluid?
    2
  130. They have steel in them?
    2
  131. Just a useless thing but the locust swarms of the past over the Great Plains died out from farming of the Plains as the insects are ground nesting and the plowing breaks up the nests.
    2
  132. Not quite the same. The tailshaft on the 5 speeds are different. Brother got one and the cross beam was hanging on with one bolt. Got the correct trans and the cross member bolted right up but now the drive shaft was the wrong length. Got that straightened out and that little truck has been a workhorse.
    2
  133. Honda motorcycles started using that pattern way back in the dawn of time. Stripped out a few screws before figuring out to grind off about 1/16 of an inch so the flutes seated all the way down.
    2
  134. I have seen on the car auctions heavily customized cars sell for much less than what the paint job cost. The only people who want the vehicle is someone whose taste is exactly like yours. I think most of these cars and trucks are basically bought for parts.
    2
  135. 2 stroke engines all have pinned rings so the end of any of the rings can't drop into the ports. That would be bad. And terminal to the engine.
    2
  136. Or just pop it out, stick it your pocket and carry it to the shop.
    2
  137. Just have to remember to put a coating between the raw metals.
    2
  138. Are you referring to the MetriWhitworthIso Universal Cresehammer?

  144. Starting his own shop has different rates of compression than being a wage slave. The difference has yet to kick in.

  145. Maybe "Stay tuned"
    2
  146. There is or was a tool that would measure the deflection on the belt to indicate tension.

  147. Don't forget the speering and driving like a maniac to be first to an accident scene.
    2
  148. All the pushrods come up on one side, rocker arms are going the same way. It's the most straightforward way to design an engine.

  149. Check the carb, clean the points and set the dwell. That will fix everything. 😂😂😂
    2
  150. I saw an article that said these cleaners would eat up the hot side of Ecotech Ford turbos. They didn't cite any sources but did show a turbo that was eaten up. If I had a turbo engine I would go with manufacturers recommendations . Particularly if under warranty.
    2
  151. Could be a Rolling Production Change. Ran out of last years parts, started on this years. Then you get a Johnny Cash car.

  155. As far as being too complicated goes, German Panzer tanks used a torsion bar suspension, very smooth. However when a bar broke the tank had to be returned to the rear as most of the inside had to be disassembled to replace it.
    2
  156. I have had some success with drilling a small(1/8 inch) hole in a lower outside place. It can't get any wetter and usually helped dry them out.

  158. The thread is a direction that will tighten up as it runs.

  159. Keeping the val V e lash set was a challenge. The valve springs were so heavy to close those manhole cover valves made things wear a lot.
    2
  160. I think they used front suspension springs.
    2
  161. Military Hummers were deliberately designed to let water into every opening and chamber so they would not float in river crossings. E erything was water sealed. Apparently civilian models just leaked water into the electrical system.
    2
  162. "Fine" never means it's okay.
    2
  163. I have a 1993 Ranger. Had a problem with one. No longer, tied the wires together.
    2
  164. The problem is if someone touches this they become liable for everything that might happen with this vehicle for all time. Even if someone else buys it.
    2
  165. Many years I got some stubby nut drivers. Handiest thing for hose clamps.
    2
  166. It's fun though.
    2
  167. At 95 degrees with matching humidity open the windows when driving does little to help.
    2
  168. Same here . I have compared prices on the stuff I buy and Amagroan is always higher plus you pay for shipping (paying for Amagroan Plus just means you are prepaying).
    2
  169. MIG = metal inert gas. Uses a continuous wire as an electrode and filler material surrounded by an inert gas. TIG = tungsten inert gas. Process uses a fixed tungsten electrode and separate hand fed wire as filler also surrounded by an inert gas. Tig is much more controllable and can by turned down to weld aluminum soda cans or razor blades or way up. Usually best for exotic metals.
    2
  170. Close cousin to blinker fluid Just have to remember to not mix the left with the right.
    2
  171. You betcha. Torque them til the base warps and leaks.
    2
  172.  @alexanderkupke920  That's a Super Beetle so it would have a transistor radio.
    2
  173. They will leak there. Aluminum trims will eventually wear off the anodizing and will start to oxidize and pit.
    2
  174.  @Biochemechanic  That's what I have always done.
    2
  175. Those stupid sockets always seem to have to have an indexing tab when all they need is one lug to keep it in.
    2
  176. Owning your own business allows you work any 26 hours of the day, 9 days a week. DON'T DO IT. If you can't make it on reasonable hours adapt your model. You may struggle to get it going at the start you will avoid getting to hate it later because you got burned out.
    2
  177. I saw a video on that subject, don't remember the poster but cavitation can cause some pretty impressive wear on wet liners.
    2
  178. Would have saved a ton of time and aggravation.
    2
  179. Interesting to watch the big car auctions. Mid 90's luxury cars, think Rolls-Royce, with low milage sell for maybe 10 percent of new.

  229. Any time you lift weight from the floor, doesn't matter how much or how high, you have to make sure you know how to safely operate whatever lift gear you are using. Jack, hoist, chainfall, gantry crane, crowbar safety is all the same. Saw a guy use nylon straps to lift a 13,000 pound roller. He miss applied them by having them at too little of an angle over the sides of the roller. The straps were of t h e proper rating to handle the weight but were misused. The proper spreader beam was available to be used but wasn't. Fortunately it only dropped a few inches. In the end you cannot be too safe.

  393. No question is ever dumb! My opinion only very low milage cars having one oil service a year is okay but I would flush the brakes every couple of years. Both these items will pick up water and if they are not run long enough to get thoroughly hot they will cause corrosion and problems.

  451. Diesel seems to not degrade nearly as fast as gasoline, not so many volatiles. Those "Will it start" channels get engines fired up with fuel that has been in there since dirt was new. That being said they might have drained and filled up the tank. Of course they will show everything they did to get it to start, reality show.

  452. Real folks who build off road vehicles to really use off-road use reinforced axle housings, reinforced everything underneath, a perked up engine to be able to move the tires. A real off-road vehicle is very expensive and alot of the time, not a lot of fun to drive on the road.

  459. Interesting thought on studs. Dave down at Daves Engine does a lot of Diesel engines and he feel that using head bolts gives a tiny bit of spring on compression that helps relieve stress on the block. Studs in a Diesel doesn't have that bit of give and can lead to more stress on the bolt holes. I am no expert on the subject but it does make some sense. A gasoline engine doesn't have enough compression to make a difference.

  464. To get to half of them requires the removal of the intake. It seems like the V6's also are in the same boat anymore. Just for fun does anyone remember the "Long Ram" 440's Chrysler built? They also needed to remove the intakes for plugs and valve adjustments.

Recline was 22,000 on the power side and 23,000 on the decel side. These were overhead cam 4 valves per cylinder. There are videos out there of them running at the redline and its just a howl.

  507. The Paraffin is just a solid oil. When Squatch 253 was removing pre combustion chambers from an early Caterpillar Diesel he heated and melted candle wax into them. Took several runs at it along with putting a ton of torque on it after heating and leaving it on while it cooled overnight. They finally came loose without damaging them. That is a good thing because Cat proba ly hasn't made any since the 1940s.

  515. Own opinion on air compressors , put it outside if possible, run a 2 inch loop around the shop with several Ts for drops. The 2 inch loop adds a lot of reserve capacity in your system. Also if you come across a broken compressor you can ditch the works and hook the tank in.

  516. I am pretty sure if the engineers had their way the various accessories would be spread out away from each other to keep them from overheating each other. That would require an engine compartment the size of a Peterbuilt for a V6. Blame the "Stylists" and accountants who want to jam too many "Features" into a tiny package.

When they ran they were like fuel injection but if wrong like if the sun went behind a cloud then they were like fuel rejection. He loved them because he loved to tinker with stuff which is a requirement for vintage English cars. I thought that they were too big for the engine even if it was cammed up and compression raised.

They took 90 thousandths off the top of the block (the engine Triumph used started out as a tractor engine). That brought the compression up to 9 to 1. Did something with cam bearings as that engine ran the cam in the block without bearings, remember tractor engine, involved setting bearings from a four cylinder and line boring to fit and I don't know what else. Ended up with a good running engine. It was a little over carbed with 3 side draft Webers but while it wouldn't break your neck on acceleration but was a nice upgrade. After he passed the car didn't get much at auction but that is the way of auctions.

  767. On inventory: The more people that are rummaging through the inventory the more likely your inventory will be totally messed up and soon no one will have any idea where or even if the listed part is there. One person to pull parts and do the paperwork for withdrawal saves money.

  768. I've have one of the midrange Ridgid impacts and it will un torque nuts up to 500 ft pounds. It will run the center nuts off front a front wheel drive. It's a wonder the studs aren't streched or stripped.

  771. Just curious but if you have a snorkel for water immersion where is the exhaust stack so the exhaust doesn't flood if you stall in deep water? Also is the body and frame opened up so that it will flood and not float and is all the electrical sealed and gearboxes remotely vented. Seems the snorkel is just for show. For reference see how the Humvee was set up for military use.

Line hone the cam and crank, set the block up to face the top of the block so it is parallel to the crank and then blueprint every other measurement on the heads. A factory crate engine is likely cheaper.

  887. The Lockheed Skunk works built some of the most bleeding edge aircraft in the world. Their process was to have the engineering people right by the production floor. When the mechanics would run into a problem they would rebuild the part to work ad engineering would make new drawings. That is how the Skunk Works could build these aircraft irtually overnight. There was no endless meeting with upper management, no committees to pass judgment on decisions because the decision makers were on the build floor.
