@@truckandroll989 awesome very kind of you, love your channel appreciate you 🙏🏻🤍

@@ReadTheShrill I’ve taken a similar approach but with anti seize and agree it’s a good practice. One more thing, and I apologize if this comes off as nitpicking, my background is mechanical engineering 🤓. Technically the rod shouldn’t be seeing much torque at all. Just like with any bolt being torqued down (that’s not bottomed out) you are putting the bolt/rod under tension. In this case the force of the spring is driving that. The more you tighten it down the more force it generates as the spring is forced down. The lubricant acts to reduce thread friction and the effect of friction can massively increase the stress on the rod. This is why companies like ARP specify lubricant on the threads of their bolts and even go so far as to specially machine their washers and include lubricant between the bolt head/washer. Either way you are correct the grease, anti seize, oil, etc. is smart to avoid additional thread binding or damage. Just remember if this were a bolt being torqued the grease would throw off your torque value likely leading to an over torqued situation.

@@BULZAYE honestly it comes down to money and qty of vehicles. If the Mach 1 was paid off sure but I still had 2+ yrs of payments and I have a 64 Comet and a 78 Power Wagon Im always tinkering with on my channel. Hoping to continue to build/grow my channel and I was getting to a dead end with the Mach 1 vs. what I can do with e everything else :)

@@truckandroll989 Understood. I look forward to your S197 content. I know the Coyote is all the rage these days but the 3V can run toe to toe with it (price not withstanding). But as far as the exhaust note of the S650 goes (better than the S550 methinks), the S197 is still KING and like I said I own both. ;)

😮

@@Cali4rniadreaming hahaha seriously I love my Bolt! Its honestly pretty fun when you drive it in sport mode. My only complaint, and Im curious if you have this issue, is in hotter temperatures my charge often gets delayed resulting in a less than full charge by the time I have programmed. I wonder if its specific to my setup, climate, or maybe just a faulty charger. Thanks for watching 🙏

I think that's right, for the first year I worked at night and arrived at home at 4am but now I'm working day and arrive at 2pm the other day when I got home was 102° outside and I charge the Bolt outside there's no room in inside the garage when I plug in a loud fan noise started and I unplug because I have never heard that fan soo loud, I also just now program the charging to avoid high peak hours and I notice that my car wouldn't be 100% by 1:30 am when I have to leave the house soo yes I think there's probably more cooling Cycles that's why it takes longer I'm not planning to sell this car because I want to see how far it will go without any problems so far so good 👍🏻

@@toddb3394 close Cecil County (aka the best 😎)

@truckandroll989 it's definitely fast. So is MIR. Unfortunately, I'm right here by Crapital. At least I got a track close by.

@@toddb3394 i was so pumped for rocky mtn raceway out here but it closed the first year I moved. We have 1/8 mi but in my opinion its not the same

@truckandroll989 I definitely agree but it's better than nothing.

@@saleen367 you’re right it would have been fun. I think I may have arrived at the same conclusion. Modify a cheaper Mustang for track use to avoid the car payment and overall risk to such an expensive item. Having a gf/wife who is into cars is the best!

@@79c10man thank you! Its definitely a different route but I’m sure in the end it will make me a better driver

@@SHADOWBLACKs650 yea I totally get it. The majority of my Mustangs have been SN95s and Im not sure whether its the cage, suspension mods, or what but this particular S197 feels rock solid. I cant wait to feel it with a smaller wheel and a bit more feedback. If it slides as good as it hugs the corners I’ll be in good shape!

@@skullcollector777 thank you! It wasn’t an easy decision

Id have to check. Im guessing yes but it may not be the same thread.

Thank you. I got the knob off my 98 Silverado but your right. It’s not even threaded. I know my other 98 gmc it’s threaded but not the Silverado, so now I’m on the hunt for a threaded one lol

@@adairjanney7109 if you have the engine on a stand this is a no brainer. Trying to do a front timing cover on a Mopar in the car means you have to cut the oil pan gasket and install 2 cork ends (cut to fit), main lip seal, and then try and slip the cover on and align everything without it moving. Its not like a SBC. Sometimes you gotta work with what you have

@@adairjanney7109 lol i dont think i was trying to be special, just share a product I was pleasantly surprised with ;)

@@truckandroll989 fair enough I guess what I meant is that truck aint differnt, hell every timing cover ive ever messed with made me want to die, reapplying gasket stuff over and over cause it wont fit on right thats what I was getting at but worded it a bit dickish it seems

@@adairjanney7109 lol all good my dude :)

@@clayton9136 so truth be told I put this on expecting a massive oil leak from installing my timing cover. I don’t think it would’ve sealed up as well if you had already had oil in that crevice but there’s no way that thing should have not leaked. The fit up when you dont drop the pan is truly abysmal. So in your defense, it’s not a perfect test, but I’m still super stoked that it doesn’t leak at all.

@@coleregan7115 yeah that’s a tough one. You could always try it, but you’d have to get the surface super clean and oil free.

@@mmzero562 I was on the phone with Permatex asking them about the right rtv for my intake and was like “do yall have something to put on after a leak has started” and i was surprised to hear the answer was yes.

@@samthekashman the old girl will find a way, trust me. This transmission has more leaks in it than the Iraqi Navy. 😂

@@dannyc1657 hahaha if you would have seen the install of the timing cover and the way you have to position these cork gaskets independent of the front seal, block, timing cover, and pan it looked like a guaranteed leak. I agree its not a perfect test but i had no faith in the cork. They were cut to fit and squished out when I torqued the timing cover to pan. Still a cool product

​@@truckandroll989and still not a real test

@@richardruiz6812 :) it was time for something else and I’ve got a pretty cool new project in mind that’s going to be a total 180 from this car but I think I will learn a lot from it. I’m gonna try and get some new videos soon.

@@truckandroll989 awesome thanks

@@apocolypse11 well well well if it isn’t the neighborhood troll. Its not about not being able to press the pedal its about being able to modulate the gas. Think of driving a stick shift car where the throttle feels like its stuck closed. Not fun for you or the passengers. Anyways thanks for watching and either way i appreciate the comments ;)

@@5Star-e7y thank you sir!

Yea it was maybe a touch throatier and for sure worth some extra power but certainly wasnt too loud. I try to tell people all the time you can have a good performing exhaust without waking the neighbors. In a newer video I ditch the quiet muffler and go for a Flowmaster 10 series. The change js dramatic :)

@@Theundisputedtruth im not super familiar with Chevelles but yes taller springs, if they make such a thing taller spindles (or if your car was previously lowered on drop spindles install stock ones). Otherwise some sort of plate between the spring and perch would do it like you said.

@@truckandroll989 thx

I do but its been up for sale for a bit. Hoping to transition to something else :)

@@truckandroll989 ohh that's too bad I was hoping to see more videos of you taking it to the dragstrip. Good luck on the sale of the mustang 👍

@@thndr_5468 check out 1A auto. Its not hard to narrow it down to your year, make, and model. They have a bunch of similar kits depending on what you need

@@airell47 Modern cars use multiple (sometimes up to 4) oxygen sensors (either one or two per side before and sometimes after the catalytic converters). On an engine dyno ive seen oxygen sensors installed in each primary tube to understand variances cylinder to cylinder. However in this application one is likely sufficient but it does mean there could be a variation between each side of the motor. Since a carburetor really doesnt allow much tuning for side to side variation I recommend picking the easiest install location (on one side) and using that. You could always weld in a second bung on the other side, plug the original bung, and check for differences. If you had a y pipe that was pretty close to the manifold collectors that could be another good location but then you are only seeing an average. So the short/long answer is more would be ideal but thats added cost and likely not worth it unless you are racing or getting really serious about tuning.

@@truckandroll989 perfect that helps allot. i normally drive and tune EFI vehicles started working on a old 81 f150 with a 71 "5L" i got it running and driving great but i would like to start trying to squeeze a bit more out of the motor. im going to try one of these setups and see what happens. my thought is its the easiest way to track a base line ( what its at now) and see changes made.

@@airell47 good call. If you check my other videos I actually have a few discussing tuning on a 5L Ford. Ive got playlists for my videos and those tuning videos are for my 64 Comet. Could maybe be helpful :)

@@truckandroll989 thanks, will do, much appreciated.

@@The0utmode thats a really good call!

@@jacobpitts3645 if its an edelbrock or another style carb that used step up springs your issue could be load related and you could change the spring vs a smaller jet. But yes if you are at light load cruising you engine can tolerate a leaner AFR and you should pick up some mpg and avoid fouling plugs.

@@truckandroll989 the crazy thing is the plugs aren’t fouled. The carb is a Holley 750 vac secondaries. However, the carb was manufactured in 1985. Soooooo haha

@@Kidchevy88 id say the biggest improvement/thing you should do (if you dont have the new holley sniper) is the modification I mention to improve throttle feel. Beyond that keep an eye on sensors. I had a new coolant temp sensor fail which makes vehicle run super rich/basically undrivable. Also, if you want the most out of your sniper, even though they are self learning, plan a dyno session with a reputable tuner and he/she can dial it in faster/better.

@@truckandroll989 thank u really appreciate it
