    Rag Left In My T-Case

    I don’t know how it happened, but a rag ended up in my T-case. I finally got to go for a little test drive around the yard and all was good till I had trouble shifting the T-case between high & low range. Then I couldn’t shift it at all. I pulled the top plate for a look & couldn’t believe what...

    Rocker Bushings and Oil Flow. (Long)

    I have poor oil flow out of my rocker holes. I get barely an ooze from valve side rocker hole and practically noting out of the smaller push rod side hole. Rocker shaft and bushings were replaced new in 2000 and still look in very good shape. There is no slop at all in the bushings, but the...

    Matching U-joints to Driveshafts

    Is there a way to select the right U-joint if you are not sure what year your drive shafts are? When buying U-joints, vendors just go by the year which doesn’t work if your shafts have been swapped for a different year by the PO. My flange bolt patterns are, Rear - 68.5mm x 60mm & 11mm bolts...

    Castle Nuts vs. Stake Nuts

    I lost one of the two needed castle nuts for the front & rear 3spd T-case output shafts which are both drilled. The two 4spd T-cases I have use the stake style nuts. Before I hunt down Castle nuts I wanted to ask if stake nuts work on the drilled shafts as I have new ones that came with a gasket...

    3 Speed T-Case to 4 Speed Transmission ?

    I’m just now starting this conversion and I couldn’t find an answer by searching, so here is my question. I have already got the transition input gear, bearing & seal from Cruiser Teq. I just opened the 3spd T-case and the input gear along with a PTO gear came right out. Am I right to assume...

    H42 Front Bearings Removal

    FSM says use the SST. I don't have it. I didn't want to grind on my pullers arms. So I did this for both bearings. Insert two of the bearing retainer bolts for fulcrums. Two large screwdrivers into the snap ring slot and pry it out some. Back out the bolts a bit and pry some more. When...

    Flywheel Painting

    I don’t know if it’s common to paint the flywheel, but while waiting for new flywheel bolts & locks after they got lost in shipping and toured the country, I thought why not. I also added some marks to get each cylinder at TDC for leak down tests. The BDC 1&6 mark is for matching up the cam oil...

    Cam And Lifter Woes

    Cleaning the block surface with the head off of the F.5, I figured I probably got some debris down the push rod holes so I pulled the side cover off for some cleaning. With the cover off, it got a paint job and so then off came the crank pulley and timing cover for a fresh clean & paint. Then...

    Water Pump Oddity

    I have the water pump off and never noticed this before. On this GMB pump or other pumps in the past. The gasket matches the plate so it’s the casting that doesn’t align exactly. Don’t know if it impedes the flow any. Has anyone else noticed this or do I have a weird casting.

    Cam Journal Oil Hole Line-Up for Valve Train Prime.

    This subject comes up from time to time, but I do not recall a definitive answer being mentioned as to what engine position will line up the oil holes in the cam journal to let oil pass through and up through the block and to the valve train. It may have been mentioned, and I missed it. But...

    Stainless Valves For My F.5 - Maybe

    I’m going to get my head checked out, serviced, or rebuilt but I don’t want the hassle of packing, shipping, and down time, so I’ll use a sort of local shop called the “Cylinder Head Depot” that is 45 minutes away. If the condition of the head dictates, I would like to go with the stainless...

    Valve Stem Seal Type for my 74 F.5

    One question. Does the upgraded seal on the right move up & down with the valve stem like the stock umbrella seal on the left does? Or will the newer style metal seal fasten down to my head or guide and stay put so the valve stem moves up & down through the seal. I read gobs here but still not...

    Silver Star Renewal

    I just noticed a charge on my credit card that only says "Renewal Fee" and nothing else. Would that be my silver star renewal fee? I can't remember if I have it auto renewal or not.

    Sniper O2 Bung Extender & Cheap Sensors

    Since the Sniper install, I encountered my second O2 sensor failure so I thought I would try the “Innovate Bung Extender”recommended by a few folks here. My spare “Bosch O2 Sensor” came from eBay & was half the price of anywhere else I found. Now that it’s installed and working fine, I picked up...

    Flywheel Plates: Where They Go?

    74, 4spd, with the 3 finger pressure plate. Where do these three “flywheel plates” go? I replaced a clutch disc 21 years ago along with pilot and throw out bearings but did not remove the flywheel. Don’t remember seeing these and can’t figure out where they go. I'll probably see it when I do...

    DUI Live Wires from Performance Distributors

    There seemed to be interest about this in another thread. (Kerplunk's post #25,883) and I responded with just one pic so I thought I would post this and elaborate a bit. I ordered a set of the “Live Wires” from Performance Distributors for my DUI. When they arrived, I installed them but was...
