Made me wonder what the issue was so I pulled it apart and noticed the bores of the steering arms are coated. That thickness is preventing...

    I'm sure some will say this is chat, but they cover all the tech aspects of the trip. Vehicle modifications, making pontoons, how they got across rivers, food and preparations, etc.

    Markings on OEM Head Gasket? 3FE

    Hey there, I recently ordered a OEM master kit for my 3FE, but the box was damaged/opened/retaped, all the small bags were also opened, and the kit was obviously many years old. There was damage to a number of gaskets. PN on the box was 04111-61052. OK, all that aside, pretty sure the vendor...
