ya mine are 8. length is purty darn short, its only threaded in to a little more than sheet metal & trapped nuts, any thing more is pointless yet harmless

Seriously, a 3-D printer? You got a printer that you honestly considered to dish up a light fixture, before you consider going to the junkyard ? My god I feel like I've been living in cave under a rock and out back. I got to look into this. If there's one thing in the world that is not in...

Aloha- I shipped my beast out to CA , got depressed by a noise that developed after the first few tanks of dinosweat, finally decided FIAA ( poke it all anyway) and used it for a 700mi trip. Man it is slow. My truck so slow I got tailgated by a molasses tanker. theoretically compression test...

Ain't that the site glass on your air conditioning accumulator? In the good old days, you could form an opinion on your AC system's charge condition by observing the bubble flow in the refrigerant through that sight glass. No bubbles could've been an overcharge or a good charge. A couple...

As far as wondering if your valve gaps are correct Highly likely you would be able to hear wide gaps, lot of clatter. If the valve is receding (not extremely likely with weak stock springs) then all bets are off without feeler gauges

What was the problem on five and six?? I presume you were talking about the plier type valve opening tool Was there plumbing in the way on 5 & 6 ? I think the valve adjusting things been beat to death elsewhere. Just write your tips down instead of a whole procedure. I know I'm hella curious

gapping valve comments I am thinking seriously of pulling the cams in order to put new shims in. I'm not looking forward the task. When you have your heads out on the bench, pulling the cam is 80 times easier than depressing a fully sprung valve. In fact, off motor, think about temporarily...

since yer the ambitious type, studs sounded like a good project. am looking into a set. Any one know the dimensions in case ARP needs those numbers ?

You're at the auto store getting a hardware, borrow their thread chaser kit and give yours a run through. No way do I think they're 10, probably 8, probably coarse. (><) These are vulnerable to screw up by mallet heads (previous owners without a doubt) over tightening them. Snuggie does it...

I doubt it's the cat, all of a sudden anyway, but you can test for it. Probably for free since there's a muffler shop who will stick a manometer just ahead of the cat to look for excessive pressure while peeking if you need a muffler or cat. No way I would buy a cat on a "troubleswapping"...

pole shot looking forward to deployed tent pix

aisin hardware spank me if I'm wrong, winging it from memory back when I installed my manuals but I thought the cone washers ( uncommon & critical for tight fit) , the flat washers and nuts (good grade stuff ought to do...) fitting the Aisin hubs were the same as on the wildly common fixed...

spacers to allow center caps over hubs I LIKES that. thanks BoatRacer

sealer on intakes I used felpro gaskets, nice squishy blue silicon mini bead around all ports, looks like a great gasket to me. If you go silicone, go easy on the amount, takes basically none, so squish will be significant. leads me to ; I added a modest coat of Chrysler aerosol sealer, it was...

Does any one know if there are show stoppers to installing late(est) rims onto a gen2? I am looking into a set of 2016 16" takeoffs to put on a '95 runner. Currently have the '95 OE rims, marked 15x7-JJ8 with offset 8. Have aisin manual hubs which prevent using the center cap up front, the...
