    Ailing engine (Updated after teardown)

    When I was shopping there were some copper ones out there but no real options on thickness.Or go with another set of Fel Pros, with studs and maybe get another few years out of it.

    Ailing engine (Updated after teardown)

    The cometics are available in a variety of thicknesses.Now would be a good time to freshen the heads MLS gaskets as stated above need proper surface finish,If you do the math you could lower your static a bit.And I know there pricey but get the studs.

    How many of you grease your own trailer axles?

    I adjust mine like this. After greasing I rotate the wheel just until I can no longer feel any play in bearing.Then go one flat tighter.I get nervous about preload especially on a used bearing.Ive pulled many “loose” trailer bearing’s only to find no damage.But a little to tight and you risk...

    Anyone ever add a drain plug to a torque converter?

    Careful where you drill! The face is where the clutch plate rides.DONT drill there.drill the outer ring just rear of the radius of the front cover.use a 1/8 pipe plug don’t tap any deeper than needed to get plug at least half way in.Use a Allen head plug.

    Trans leak up front

    Make sure the TV linkage is adjusted properly.A flare on both 1/2 and 2/3 is low fluid/plugged filter or Low Pressure.

    Deep frying

    For plain old deep frying, quality veg oil is fine. The trick to deep frying is the batter/coating.For sautéing and pan frying,other oils (Olive) maybe better.
