    RTV works great if you let it setup for an hour or so, and ive never had any problems with just the paper felpro gaskets. cleaning, and dremeling are the key. You gotta take a razor blade and feel for any knicks anywhre and dremel them down if its the first gear oil change on your truck. I've...

    condensation or water?

    The last cam I ran on an ls1 engine was . 651" lift. They have to grind the cams on a smaller base circle to get the extra lift and still slide through the cam bearings so you usually have to run longer pushrods. I always checked wipe pattern to make sure I had the right length pushrod. The...

    I have an air cat 1150 and honestly use my Dewalt 20v battery impact for 95% of everything. The new brushless ones do 700ft lb and supposedly 1200ft lb removing. My aircat 1295 does removing and the battery one rivals it. I use it for everything.

    condensation or water?

    Man first Rob, now you. I'm really concerned about the engine I'm rebuilding/having rebuilt. I may install the heads myself now. Did you use copper spray? Just curious. That really sucks did your cooling system for your test stand not hold pressure?

    Radiator Flush

    Urea hydrochloride with rodine otherwise as thin as it is you're just better off replacing the radiator with an aluminum one. It's almost guaranteed to leak. Radiator flush from Preston contains phosphoric acid and some corrosion inhibitor would be OK for a safe cleaning but may not get it...

    condensation or water?

    It could be between the timing cover and water pump. That's always what I worry about leaking. What you could do is drain coolant completely, then pressurize to say 20psi a 13psi system should seal at 20psi I would think, listen for any hissing in oil pan or Valley pan then gradually fill...

    another injector pop testing thread...

    I am thinking about building one of these with a high pressure hydraulic piston chemical injection pump. I think i have one laying around. They can have an almost infinitely variable dosing stroke from say 1ml to 200ml or so. I bet that'd be ideal for pop testing injectors. I think the spare i...

    condensation or water?

    How old are your misters? I have noticed an erratic shake at idle and almost sounds like a miss and sometimes when driving cruising at 60mph I'll get a power surge as if I have pushed down with 20% more throttle and I've always suspected it may be my misters or pump. I only have 8k or so on...

    condensation or water?

    I smeared all of the donut connections with nickel neverseive when i replaced my castings from him and 6k miles later still had trouble getting the up pipe off. I got it out with a little work but nothing was rusted, just a tight fit. Neverseize to me in like a high temp paint that keeps things...

    Proper coolant 7.3 IDI

    Aluminum begins corrosion at a pH above 8.5, copper above 9.5. Sodium molybdate slows down this process, sodium nitrite possibly can. Fleet charge has a pH of 10.0 when i tested it, about 2200ppm of sodium nitrite @50% DI mix, no molybdate and im going to assume no tolyltriazole if they cut out...

    condensation or water?

    Did you let it sit and try to drain water from pan? It's easy to test the water that comes out to see if it's Condensation or coolant provided it's atleast 4 ounces or so

    Facet Duralift not enough pump to keep up?

    Here is a link to the information on poppet valves. They come in 1/4" NPT, 1/8" NPT, tubing connection, or both. I used compression tubing with some 1/4" stainless tube and just clamped onto that...

    Running Warm Under Load; Using OEM gauge location vs Overtemp sender for gauge?

    I can hear mine at 200F, especially starting off in traffic revving up between shifts. I think maybe its full lock at 230f but there is more friction the hotter the fan clutch gets.

    AGM Batteries

    I use the red marine battery terminal spray and have no issues with corrosion. If you want a durable battery I'd go with interstate. I've had an interstate in my bobcat for over 4 years, with no battery hold down, it rubbed the hydraulic pump pulley a few times, slammed into the side a...

    Running Warm Under Load; Using OEM gauge location vs Overtemp sender for gauge?

    Yeah definitely left hand thread i dont know why i said right hand thread yet described left hand. clockwise to loosen it. You can use an air hammer on the point of the nut it will knock it free fairly easily. maybe 1 second of hammering with it.

    Running Warm Under Load; Using OEM gauge location vs Overtemp sender for gauge?

    You should absolutely never use di water in any engine. Oxygen pitting to the steel cylinder walls will occur immediately. For every 18 degrees you increase water temperature corrosion rates double.
