Re: Rear Diff Plug HELP

I vote no on easy outs, if they break, the job gets 10X worse. If you can weld, go that way. Chase the threads with grease in the flutes of the tap to keep chips out of the diff. I use Teflon tape on...

Re: how to repair top casting on sidebowl carburetor???

When I took a night school welding class in 1977 or so, the instructor said to use "machinable nickel rod" for cast iron.

Re: installing grease baffle on front wheels Model AA truck

Is the rolled outer lip of the baffle at the tip of the arrow?

Re: installing grease baffle on front wheels Model AA truck

Re: 1931 model a engine

When you reinstall, use a graphite gasket and follow the torquing directions carefully.

Speaking for myself, I would strongly consider pulling the engine so that I could check the crank shims with the motor on the stand and do a better job than on my back underneath.

Re: Rebuilt Engine Options

With at least the 6:1 head, you need to manipulate the spark advance lever more to suit the engine’s needs. Also maximum advance is less. I have gotten used to it and it is as comfortable as double...

Re: Fitting Spindle Bolt - King pin in new bushings

I used a piloted adjustable reamer and snuck up to a nice fit for the kingpin. It was much like this: https://www.mcmaster.com/3027A16/

Re: Fitting Spindle Bolt - King pin in new bushings

Be sure to test fit the cotter through the axle with the kingpin in place to make sure it will go in before having the hub in place.
