One very important factor is crankcase pressure from blow by past the rings , this is certainly more important than what is going on in the bell housing.

If the fuel has up to 10% ethanol like here in nj, I would think that would be a reason to have to run the GAV richer (or more open). I am always kind of amazed that gasoline today will still run a...

Re: Clutch Chatter & Flywheel run-out

I could be wrong but I thought original ford discs had solid hubs with no cushion springs. I dont think that a person should have to break in the clutch but if the surfaces are too rough it might be...

Re: Mike wings aka "wingski"

Very sad to here this. I remember he was upset when he was trying to sell his car. I really dont think anyone meant to disrepect him. Seemed frustrated when he left , may he rest in peace.

Re: My Mitchell synchro trans experience
