Bro' it's definitely a PITA... but you'll feel better that you're not mounting that nice new disc brake kit onto something that's worn or not up to par with all the other good work you're doing
You're going to pop the LCA loose and tighten up the slack while there as well right?
morning, going to call on a 65 Dart 270 that showed up on the list. 273 commando 4spd with a bench seat original paint and interior.
Not sure what you mean.. i am going to make sure it's not spread around the adjuster though...Bro' it's definitely a PITA... but you'll feel better that you're not mounting that nice new disc brake kit onto something that's worn or not up to par with all the other good work you're doing

P.S. LCA's are all out and k-frame and all
First 5 minutes in this video. It's the top plate before you add the stiffening plate.

OK, I'm here now. Motor guy Googled yesterday. One cause could be too hot of a plug. The carbon sticks to the hottest point. I've increased the gap to .050 on the hot plug. After I do a compression test, I will use a colder plug. It can't hurt to try. He seems to think the rings may not have sealed yet. But has never seen a plug fouled like that either.
Used mine. No issues. Good thread, not bent

Yeh, that’s not gonna work….Just worked some dirt around. Arrow is where I took that chunk of root from - other end was near left edge of pic. Shovel and rake for perspective…

You know it, ladder work can be the worst on us, picking Apples, cherries and Plums as a young boy/man till 15, electrician from age 19 to 23 I had my close calls and over reached just to spook me bad !! But now That I think about it, thats when I started seeing a Cyropractor (thats my way of spelling it) being right handed and working off a ladder making up boxes full of wire or hanging lights all day it twisted me up. Yep, from our neck to our feet, I believe ladder work is hard on everyoneDon't forget arms, shoulders and everything else. I really try not to, but always tend to over-reach and feel it the next day...

I am planning to save the Trumpet vine. It was covering most of a broken down shed when we moved here 30 years ago. It used to get flowers 40ft up on the Maple tree. Must have a crazy root system. I get sprouts 50 ft away in the grass. So, even if I tried to kill it, it would come back. Making every effort to keep its base undisturbed with at least a mound of dirt around it. Still figuring out how I will accomplish that. Maybe a small stacked wall or teraced behind it. Gonna be a process. No rush though. Aint hurting nothing if it takes me years. LOL

OK, compression test sort of. #1 - 110 , #2 - 150-160, #3 - 150 . If that will help anybody.

Pulled off of deck substructure project to move dirt. Getting closer to getting up on top. The ladder thing is killing me!
So there does appear to be a problem with #1. Typically you want to stay within 10% of each other. Not totally dead but an issue. Could be rings not sealing, one broken/cracked or upside down. Always could be a valve/valve seat.
Throttle wide open?
Same number of cranking revolutions for each test?
I tell yeah cuzz, its going to be/is hot out but the muggy meter is low, give yourself a break from that ladder chit
Squirt a little oil in the cylinder and check again. If it stays low probably the valve . If it goes up you are sealing the rings , should go up.
I tell yeah, there is some hard workers in this thread , then there is people like me
Hey Memike the older we get the harder it is . A little bit @a time !!!I tell yeah, there is some hard workers in this thread , then there is people like me
Amen brother, I can see the light at the end of a very very short tunnel
Speaking of hard work and overhead work. This morning I started on the clutch job on this 06 mustang V6. Looks like a plus. I don't think the exhaust has to come off. It's single exhaust and the y is deep enough to clear the transmission coming out I believe. Drive shaft came out easy ,O2 sensors that were in the way came out easy, starter is off now. Shifter linkage unbolted. Only thing left is the crossmember bellhousing bolts, and don't forget to put the transmission lift under it before I pull it. Kkkkkkkkk
