    Fuel Line Size

    So I need to change a busted fuel line, its one of the 2 that is to the tank from the filler cap, the smaller one. I have a 1976 btw. Is the fuel line a custom ordered one? cause I see that it must be universal because the end on the tank is bigger. I can send pics later tonight.

    Rear Main Seal Done, KNOCKING NOISE

    Hey, so i just did my rear main seal 2 piece, hearing a knocking noise when its turning over. I torqued the bolts of the rear main cap at 75 ft lbs but just put the bolts in dry. Is it possible the bolts require loctite and could have loosened up? Right now I am assuming its the crank rubbing...
