    Do I need to replace the grease seal and bearing when I do my rotors?

    ANY time you disturb a seal that has been run it needs replaced. That being said most of the time you don't remove them without damaging them. As for the bearings clean and inspect them. Look for pitting and corrosion or discoloration. If they look good run them.

    Drilling a 460 ZF5

    You completely over read what I was saying. As I said before use a press or mag drill ATTACHED to the case. The hand drill was just as a example of how different a mill is than a bit.

    Drilling a 460 ZF5

    Take your end mill chuck in a hand drill and tell me how much it pulls to the side. Also a cheap press with side to side play doesn't make a round hole. There is a lot of sidways force from that cutter. Its a lot different than a drill bit.

    Drilling a 460 ZF5

    A couple other notes. Weakening the case is not a factor here as the factory cast the case the same for a as or diesel so there is plenty of meat there for extra holes. Also I don't think standing it up in a drill press will work unless its bolted to the press. A much better option is a...

    Drilling a 460 ZF5

    You don't mill the top two holes you use a tapered ream and ream them out from 7/16 to half. Then you bolt the adapter on and mill the other holes except the dowl pins which you can drill. Then You simply center your bolts in the top two holes you reamed out. A 1/2 in bolt will fit loose in...

    Head alignment dowels

    Head alignment dowels

    The dowels not only align the head for assembly they keep it located when the block flexes and the heads scrub. All motors do this to some extent which is why steel is the only material to use. The bolts are only there to hold the head down not to keep it from moving. Copper doesn't work. I...

    glow plugs.. is this normal?

    Hold that thought. I misread your sig thinking you had a 82. I'm not sure how that works on a 92. On the 86 down trucks with the 7.3 controller it works perfect.
