    Timing Cover Gasket pushing out, help please.

    Hi All, I recognize there are many threads about this, but none that I've found seem to answer enough. I'm in the process of putting my motor back together, and when torquing the timing cover to what the service manual calls out, it pushed the gasket out. As other threads have suggested, I...

    Finding TDC without a Flywheel or Distributor

    Hi all. Im putting my motor back together and am at Fig 3-56/57 in the Service manual at the part where it asks you to adjust the valve clearance. It says to set No. 1 cylinder to TDC/Compression. Since I don't have the flywheel on and I haven't installed the distributor yet, I'm unsure about...

    Putting my Motor Back together, preferred Order of Operations

    Hi All, I'm finally at the point of putting my motor (1978 2F) back together after having cleaned everything from years of oil/mud that frosted everything like a cake nobody wanted. It's all repainted and ready to go back together. I have it on a stand and spun it 180 degrees. I put the oil...

    Stereo Install in my 40

    I wanted to add a stereo, speakers, and a subwoofer to the rig with the idea that as little wire would be showing, and that nothing would look awfully out of place. With this in mind I ended up really utilizing my Tuffy center console to tuck the (2) amps, the head unit, and the cooling fan...

    Wanted  (1) BFG Mud Terrain KM@ 33x10.5x15

    Anyone have a BFG Mud Terrain KM2 in 33x10.5x15 W/descent tread they're looking to part with? I need one to hang as the spare, and it seems silly, to me, to pay $220 for a brand new one to use as a spare. Im in the Seattle area if anyone in the neighborhood has one.

I have the stock seats in my 40 and they're all the way back (or as far as the 1.5" or so of travel they...
