Who Needs a Hotel?!?!
For what it's worth,,... your mileage may vary. Walmart is usually pretty good about letting you park overnight if that's an option. Handy to bathrooms anyhow. Lot easier than dealing with a porta pottie imo I don't recommend staying parked in the same place two nights in a row...- maverick350

C.A.V. Injectors?
Down to small projects at the moment, Urishiol dermatitis sucks. Anyhow, pop tested some old injectors I had kicking around and found they were all over the board. Everywhere from 1950 down to 1600. purchased an ultrasonic cleaner, and started pulling some apart. Some interesting...- maverick350

new or used flywheel bolts?
Although in this case, 47 ft lbs is the standard torque for a 3/8-16 grade 8 DRY. http://www.intermotive.net/Tech%20Tip/Tech%20Tip%20-%20Jan%2008.pdf- maverick350

new or used flywheel bolts?
Valid point. I haven't come across anything yet in automotive manuals specifying wet or dry torque. in the case of new oem bolts, the goop is semi dry and I expect the torque yield is different than liquid threadlocker. One might be inclined to add 5% but that's out in the wag land.- maverick350

new or used flywheel bolts?
finally got my new bolts in, ground them down just a bit to get the right length. Now for locktight. According to the manual,.. Lock'n seal 577 588 c1. two places I found reference are http://www.motofab.com/data/pdf/loctite_oem_product_guide.pdf This chart cross references 577588c1...- maverick350

new or used flywheel bolts?
Yeah, you might get lucky, but if you flip the bolts and the threads don't lay in nice and pretty over the entire length I wouldn't trust them any more. Took me a while to figure that out, but that's my go-nogo gauge. and incidentally, the luk single mass bolts were just a hair over 2" and...- maverick350

new or used flywheel bolts?
Third flywheel pulled, and all three had stretched bolts. Seems weird that all three would be stretched, but I suspect an impact gun was the install method. I ordered arp bolts, and some grade 9's from mcmastercarr.- maverick350

6.9 idi in a 1972 Maverick
I stripped the entire engine compartment of a maverick to paint it, and removed the interior. After that I could pick up the front of the car and trundle it around on the rear tires like an oversized wheelbarrow. Just an indication of how light they are. Fun little car! but I would...- maverick350

Anyone try sourcing a quality copper radiator core?
That's pretty much what I'm looking for. even if it's a core designed for something industrial that will fit in the standard radiator housing, I'd consider that a win. I expect to pay decent money, but I'd rather have that money go in to quality tubes and fins rather than recreating the...- maverick350

That's what I'm looking for, just a quality core. I'm hoping there's a better chance at getting something more industrial that way.- maverick350

Anyone try sourcing a quality copper radiator core?
I recently bought another project truck and ended up robbing the radiator out of it as mine started leaking on the drive home with the new acquisition. Someone had re-cored this beast in recent history, the PO claimed it cost him 600 bucks. It looks nice! tubes are probably an...- maverick350

new or used flywheel bolts?
Sec 6 pg 31 step 6 of engine service manual states to put lock'n seal on bolts if reusing. Implying acceptable procedure to reuse. Last time I had one of these off, it was a cracked flex plate on a c6 mated 6.9 New bolts came with the plate, and I compared them with the old...- maverick350
