I discovered a small crack on my block the first time I dropped the oil pan. Bummer, I thought, it was right where the gasket and pan mated to the block. So I manipulated the gasket to kinda cover it...

Re: Clutch Pedal Adjustment

Re: Float-A-Motor mounts

Thanks Bill, my old ride needs some of these. The great deal I got on my A reassures me that anything I do now can only do good. Until the crank falls out from the side or the rear end locks up, I...

Re: How did this work? upside down brake actuation arm?

Re: How did this work? upside down brake actuation arm?

Re: How long has she got? (Water pump)

I have the 4 blade fan, I wish there was an easy way to pull this water pump out, when I do should I go with a 2 blade fan? I have read the forums that say to lean the radiator forward.
