Re: Misfire mystery

Step back away from the ledge. Things are not that bad. You would just introduce another problem by doing that.

Re: Time for a new battery???

Put Never Seize on the battery posts, it will never corrode again. Been doing it for about 60 years.

Re: Chevrolet ohv head on a Ford Model A block adapter plate

Wouldn't you just use a normal A gasket under the adapter and a Chevy gasket under the head? If not, why not?

Re: Stuck valve?

I would ream the hole until it cleaned up and make a new guide to fit. I would not rely on Loctite.

Re: Cleaning the radiator

I think your process will work. I did a similar cleaning on a tractor several years ago. Left the vinegar in for about 3 weeks, cut grass, worked it as usual. Flushed the crap out and bingo, worked...

Re: Cars Stolen…be on the lookout.

I looked for Air Tags on the internet and could only find them that look like key fobs and track 250 feet. What am I doing wrong. What is the range you guys are buying?

Re: Cars Stolen…be on the lookout.

Read an article a few weeks back about airtag. A guy had one on his MC and it was stolen. He found the garage the bike was in and popo would not get involved because he had no proof who took it.

Re: Engine rust

No, but I have used vinegar. It works great on my tractor which 4 cylinder. I fill it and mow maybe 8 hours with it. Lots of flush.

Re: Engine rust

Do a PH test on what is in the block. Then adjust accordingly, either acid or base.

Re: 1930 A crank threads

I would use a keyed insert or Time-cert. Time-cert uses the same thread as a Heli-coil.

Re: Cleaning the gas tank in place?

Fill the tank with a molasses solution, let sit for about a week. It will eat all the crud and rust.
