Re: Zenith jet drill bits.

How finicky do you have to be about hole roundness and precision? Do you need to drill undersize and use a reamer? An .035" reamer from McMaster Carr is $23 plus shipping.

Re: Rear Diff Plug HELP

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???

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.

Re: Dropping the oil pan

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...
