    I hadn't seen my old(er) lol neighbor for a while and dropped by today. He wasn't looking to good. Turns out his daughter had come to visit, was surprised at how well he was doing, then he told her he was using CBDs with great success. She fukin freaked out on him, said it was voodoo, yada yada...

    All good info from A.J., and as he mentions, the illustration above is not Mopar, it's another breed . I've never seen that type of valve on a Mopar, thankfully, they're a ***** to have with line-lock, as they need to be centered everytime you use the line-lock, - to shut off the warning lite...

    Another "brake help" thread...

    The extra pumping, loud noise, and bunchas of dust is crazy. I once had installed a rear wheel cyl pushrod and missed the shoe. The result was the pushrod slid beside the shoe, forcing the shoe outward against the side of the drum, when pedal applied, creating lotsa noise. Can you just check the...

    Keep in mind that calipers merely relax, movement of a few thousands if not "knocked back" by a bent rotor. The difference in fluid volume between the 2 diameters is minimum. Once bled, the M/C just adds pressure to an already full system. Cheers

    cleaning a toilet help needed!

    Some of these are public washrooms, and leaving a harsh chemical to stew isn't really safe, with kids and all. Coke was a pleasant, safe surprise. Old dude at "janitorial" supply store suggested it .

    disc/drum diagnosis help needed

    I usually use a breaker bar if my 1/2 impact won't do it. Are you turning the proper way ? Driver's side can be LEFT thread . If visible, end of stud should have "L" stamped in it .

    disc/drum diagnosis help needed

    Adjust rear brakes . Mosta your pedal travel is going into moving the shoes out to the drum, adjust them up, pedal travel will reduce . Cheers

    Engine now smoking after new valve seals

    It's not uncommon for a vehicle that was a heavy smoker out the exhaust, to smoke for a long while after re-ring, or bad guides, as the exhaust pipes and mufflers were full of tar/oil. Not sure how much it could a sucked with your messed up seals. Check for eternal oil leaks, drips on floor etc...

    overheat only over 3000 rpm

    For me, it was an old funeral car, early 50s Cadillac Hearse. It ran fine during the procession out to the Burial Park,the other cars could return on the hiway, but this one overheated at speed. When brought to us, we rifled thru the glove box, found the newish looking rad was just a coupla...

    Stainless welding rod, or heavy piano wire. (We had a music store down the block.)

    overheat only over 3000 rpm

    The interesting thing about the lower hose sucking shut, - is that as soon as you let the rpms drops from the revs nec to suck it closed, it will immediately open , and stay open till next time revved, then shut. Cruise at 60 mph, it gets hot, pull over, idle, open hood, inspect for problem...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    Yeah, I mentioned that in an earlier post, "vacuum" was part of the quote. Cheers

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    I tried to avoid the use of the word "vacuum", but I maintain low pressure area created by "centrifugal" force, and the terms "single suction, dual suction pumps" seems to support what I was taught, well before the interweb, lol

    tips on asphalt driveaway replacement?

    I have acreage, my driveways aren't show pieces, but worked for me, going on 20 yrs now, but it does need a "side trim". I used the "kibble" grindings they grind up from old asphalt. They screen it., very reasonable, trick is compact the **** outta it, when you think it's compacted, do it again...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    "Centrifugal pumps work on the simple principle of imparting kinetic energy to the liquid. The pump consists of an impeller that is generally situated on a rotating shaft and turns inside of the pump casing[^1^]. When the impeller rotates, it creates a vacuum, sucking the fluid into the pump...

    WHO'S GOT THE SCOOP ON RESIDUAL VALVES?

    If you dropped your car off at my shop with the stuff in the trunk, I'd pull a w/cyl apart checking for "correct " spring expander, check size, install. If the w/cyls are expander style then a redundant valve in m/c is of no consequence. If old style regular poor fitting spring in w/cyls, it...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    Water pump uses centrifugal force to create a low pressure area. This is not a positive displacement pump, vanes/flukes are not sealed to the case/housing. No "pressure" as such, is created, only circulation. The lower rad hose, the return heater-hose, and by- pass hose all channel coolant...

    WHO'S GOT THE SCOOP ON RESIDUAL VALVES?

    If it were mine, I'd leave the m/c alone,(warranty) install the w/cs with the expanders. The previous post forgets the return springs returns the shoes to the "anchor", and cannot compress, or put any pressure on the hydraulics, so no delay if adjusted properly, expanders keep cup in contact...

    WHO'S GOT THE SCOOP ON RESIDUAL VALVES?

    For flat-rate, we'd tap whichever tab (L or R) with a hammer to allow the cyl piston to come outta the bore, check, hone, replace cups/pistons/dust boot, then pry the tab back up to retain pistons.
