    How long will cheap oil transfer pump survive pumping water?

    Thanks for the thoughts. Great idea about a bilge pump. Unfortunately no one local has one in stock. Yes, I did think about just replenishing as it loses but I was concerned about introducing cold water into the system with the engine hot. I hadn't considered the pump losing prime, but yes, my...

    My first set of hearing aids was 3 grand from the hearing specialist and lost one and it would have been 5 grand to replace and upgrade them. I can't afford it I don't have insurance that will cover the cost. In the States you don't need a prescription anymore and so bought a set by mail and...

    what are you using for headers in your hemi A body?

    Yea, but how much are custom hand built headers. And you have to transport your car to that person. Not a guy for that on every street corner.

    How long will cheap oil transfer pump survive pumping water?

    So your plan is to switch the pump on and off as the catch bucket fills to a certain level, and not have the pump run constantly? Water acts as a lubricant, though obviously much less effective than oil. The pump could very well live two hours not running constantly. I haven't seen it in...

    63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

    IN the meanwhile, I do have other things going on;) During our last hurricane Beryle~ knocked down 140' of our picket fence and we get to replace it as fence companies want like 10k to replace, so we're going to do it ourselves. I bought this "Forklift" attachment for our 1976 Ford Tractor(was...

    Another boat question

    The bottom cyl on my ski boat occasionally got water when moored stern too the waves. Is that possible, maybe try taking spark plugs out, should spin free then. idk.

    Curious front end issue. Ideas wanted

    Yes, first after loosening everything and sitting on blocks, measure and. adjust ride height. I'd disconnect sway bar on one side to verify it isn't pre-loaded which can affect height. I always loosen the lower control arm nuts before adjusting ride height.

    If you find a good hearing specialist that will take the time with proper hearing tests and you are completely honest with yourself when taking those tests. Talking to myself also. They can and will tailor your aids to fit your needs. It’s been 3 years now for me and I’m noticing my hearing is...

    Man, Legendary Interiors really are not a good company. I have had to chase them every step of the way with getting my incorrectly sewn seat covers repaired. Ron is a real treat to deal with. Quite the ego on him and he accused me of taking the stitching apart and attempting to re-sew the...

    OK here's 1st video, I apologize for the quality. I was trying to get a decent connection with shitty alligator clips.Ami right thinking the brown/wht tracer wire should get 12V? 2nd video shows testing with starter removed.

    How long will cheap oil transfer pump survive pumping water?

    Can you tow a cart with aux water, occasionally pump from reservoir in cart when engine temp rises. Fuel transfer pump should last, but might not prime, submerged marine pump better . Try "right stuff" to plug/slow leak. .

    "Idiot light" vs. Oil Pressure Gauge

    i'd maybe fit a higher pressure warning light sender. i know they're available here in the uk so there's no reason you should have issues sourcing one in the states. with a stock sender by the time the light comes on it's usually too late, unless you're just idling in traffic. and that assumes...

    Slow build 71 Scamp 440

    Pushrod measurement. I’m not quite sure how to accomplish this but took a rookie stab at it after watching numerous videos. I used the comp cam measurement tool. With the tool installed I bolted down the rockers. Not torqued. I then made sure that lifter was bottomed out. I then spun the tool...

    I wonder if a cheap boat bilge pump might be a better option.

    Fred, I went through that ahit. The ear doctor said your brain will eventually filter all that out ! I figured why pay all that $$$ when my brain already did that. And besides, still couldn't here low talkers or conversation on television.
