The grenade pin method is tried and true. A tensioner won't get any tighter, only looser and yeah I think your over thinking it. Good to go with the grenade pin if it's a new tensioner.
I'm using wire gauge drill bits as gauge pins to measure the gap. The .152 bit won't fit. The next one that does is .128.That's what I'm thinking. The pin slides in and out easily even though the measurement of the gap is a little tight. While...
How are you measuring the gap after waiting 15 minutes?If you can install/remove the grenade pin after 15 minutes, you are good. At least that is what I’ve done the past 20 years and all my timing belts have been fine.
I know questions about timing belt replacement have been beat to death on this forum, but the installation I'm working on is bugging me and I've not found an answer.This is on a 6 bolt motor with new OEM tensioner, new tensioner pulley...
several years ago I inherited a small compressor. I figured I could fix it up and use it (I didn’t have a compressor at the time.) I opened the drain and a ton of rusty water poured out. No way was I gonna pressurize that thing. It went in the...
You have a build thread for that? ROFLBut seriously if you ever have time to post up how you did it that would be awesome. I've looked into getting one but all the "factory made" ones I've looked at have bad reviews and then I back out of...
Gaaaaaaawwwdd damn....:oops:Reminds me of my days at Discount Tire when one of the newbies didnt know what a tire bubble was, but found out after a free aerial trip across the shop and then another trip in the ambulance.
Yeah, small differences can be a problem sometimes, but given that they're making all their own fittings they should work perfectly fine with each other, at least. I would agree that for our purposes using JIC and AN together is highly unlikely...
I've bought several fittings from Racetronix and they appear to be nicely made. I can't comment on any leaks because the car isn't running yet, but the metric to -AN adapters fit my OFH very nicely and the others fit together the same.
You can get all the fittings and hose you need from Racetronix. They’re in Ontario and have great prices on fittings. Then it’s just a matter of finding a good deal on the cooler itself.
If you’re determined to fix the dash check out a YouTube channel called Real Repairs for Real Customers. He’s repaired all kinds of dashes and interiors. I’ve learned a lot from that channel.
I agree with that. I had got some factory color paint to spray it. I guess I over think it at times and was making sure I had all my options covered. Thanks for the input
The firewall mat had been removed from my 1G many years ago and I wasn’t happy with how the factory paint job looked. The factory didn’t bother spraying much paint on the firewall because they knew it would just get covered anyway. I went over...
