    454 Crankshaft rod journal

    Its hard to quantify the actual depth of the defects. My guess is maybe 0.05 inch. No more than 0.01 inch. Think this is still acceptable? What depth would be in good faith to run?

    454 Crankshaft rod journal

    Yes, there is depth to the defects. You can tell the darker areas are lower than the polished part of the journal when you run your finger over it. There are just no sharp edges.

    454 Crankshaft rod journal

    Starting to mike the crankshaft bore and journals to check for runout/oil clearance when I noticed this blemish on one of the rod journals. Have no Idea if the engine ran with this or if it happened at the machine shop or during transport/storage. It looks more like some kind of breakdown or...

    1976 C20 Burb: 3/4 ton fuel system and EVAP

    Interesting that some 3/4 ton came with it and some did not. I think in this case I will try running a short fuel hose from the third metal line on the sending unit ending it somewhere near the filler neck or rear of the vehicle. Will top it with a rollover vent valve such as...

    Mystery washers

    Better question is have yall ever used washers under control arm bolts?

    Mystery washers

    They are a larger diameter and thickness than my shocks' washers. I am thinking lower ball joint as well because the wear marks kinda line up. It is hard to tell with the photos taken before disassembly since everything is covered in dirt and grease. Also it seems like others do not have washers...

    Mystery washers

    Assembling my steering and suspension back together and noticed these two washers which I mistakenly did not label. Not sure if they are a big deal at all but my OCD will not let it go. I have checked through all the photos I took during disassembly and cannot find out where they came from. I...
