    The 4 bolt main LIE !!! Or is it???

    I have only blown one engine, 216 Babbitt bearing in a 1949 Chevy. Every engine I have built was balanced, I believe this is key. I ALWAYS drive hard, personally seen 10000 rpm on 283s and 327, never blew up, two bolt. My 350 circle track motor still is with me after being in three different...

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    Got the fuel leak fixed, Yes I did have to lift the bed, made a lift out of wood that fit in the stake pocket, used a long eye bolt that goes through and washer and bolt on bottom. Took all the nuts off the bed bolts, (never seized when I originally did this), came off easy, then used the lift...

    Container based shop: 2 post lift placement advice?

    I set mine up myself. Two plumb bobs and shim till it is parallel when bolted. Measure and repeat on the other side. I bought the trans jack as well from bend pak, ranger brand, I use that under there all the time. This is the fourth shop I have built, and that single piece of equipment is now...

    Container based shop: 2 post lift placement advice?

    There is much to lifts, you will need about 6 inches where the posts are so there is enough depth for the bolts. my. Bendpak was not that much more then the offshore ones, I use it every week. Sometimes, like now with the Nova, it’s been on the life in the air for two weeks, while I have...

    G series camper van forums

    Few more pics, about 1/8 tow in, hard to get a good pic. So c/l of rear wheel. To c/l of front wheel, turn adjuster until you think you have about the right amount of tow in, then clamp the adjuster nuts down and you’re good to go very easy. I think Perry’s down this a few times.

    G series camper van forums

    Poor K20 languishes while I work on Jan’s van. We have driven it to Idaho a few times and the steering is horrible. Replaced the steering box because it was leaking. It helped a little so now I replaced all the suspension on the front end and it goes down the road excellent. I just did the tow...

    That setup will be highly tunable, both engine and transmission. I love that, wish GM was as flexable.

    Original Color of Inner Wheel Wells and Core Support?

    You can also use a flattner, but you will need a gram scale, did that to my Nova. There are mixing instructions for different gloss, more flattner= less gloss. This also uses a clear coat. Local paint supply. CalSgt is a trusted source, like most on here. Your choice will depend on just how...

    2WD clunking sound but not in 4WD

    Manual Warn hubs are hard to beat, what I would do, though not exactly a cheap date. I use almost no lube in my hubs, as they can stick in cold weather. There are several styles, 1/2 turn, (lighter duty?) and the 7/8 turn. I've had both, never broke either.
