The Mac looks nice, but I picked up 2x 3pce sets of the 90T locking flex for <USD70ea, 6 ratchets for the price of just the 1/4" Mac, and haven't broken any yet!
@BGGarage25 күн бұрын
90T locking flex, are you referring to gearwrench? There are alot of good ratchets out there. I really like my Mac locking flex. Almost always use it locked to have the handle angled up by 1 tooth. The ergonomics of it are just right for me.
@scod390824 күн бұрын
@@BGGarage yeah, 90T gearwrench, AUD90/AUD100 (~USD60/70) for fixed/lockingflex 3pce sets they were practically giving them away compared to other locally available ratchets. Out of ~12 or so ratchets (I grabbed extras as they were basically giving them away for the price of rebuild kits), I have one with what I consider excessive axial anvil play and one with a cosmetic dent. Since I purchased "spares" I haven't bothered with warranty or attempting to rectify the play with a shim. If you have the ability to select the ratchets off the rack, and choose ones with minimal anvil play, you're golden! KZbin testers have shown you won't break a mid-tier or above 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet without a cheater bar, so "if they feel good they are good" IMHO.

Loc-tite messes with your torque values. The parts will be over-torqued. So claiming that a little blue loc-tite never hurt anybody is false.

@@NEK107 i bought a used fuel distributor off ebay, the car runs, idles poorly, seems to clean up over 1800 rom but its still on the hoist, havent had time to mess with it. Has good compression on all 8, but very poor vacuum. Smoke testing the inlet/vacuum system did not reveal any leaks. Further, if i set the air meter to factory spec free play of the plunger i get no fuel until you depress the air meter about halfway down. I have to crank on the plunger preload significantly if i want any fuel for it to fire up and idle.

Hi Tom, Im near Syracuse. Not close but..not too far from long island. Thankfully my subframe bushings are still good on this one so dont have to change them :D Doesnt look too hard though, appears to be like any other subframe cradle. unbolt, drop down, use a C clamp bushing press, if not working or available, torch them then sawzall blade to sever the outer sleeve, knock it inward with a punch.

yes you are correct the febi tensioner has nothing to do wit the oil pressure, I was watching your episode on when you added the febi tensioner just keep an eye on it, how long did you prime the engine to try bring up the oil pressure and was it primed with the plugs removed
@BGGarage9 ай бұрын
yes plugs removed, fuel pumps disconnected. Filled to spec, nothing, overfilled by 4 quarts, nothing, filled it via oil filter housing-nothing. WHen I get back on this project ill take the pump off and bench test it. Clearly there is no bloackage between pump and oil filter as i put 10 quarts through the filter housing and it all ended up in the pan, but yet-the housing does not get filled up when cranking.

Just have a bunch on hand from our old S8 and its always in stock at walmart. The 40 is the key to adhere to. Usually you can do down on the “W” part safely as its the cold pour point relative viscosity, but you cant go up. Ex if it calls for 5w40 you cant use 15w40, but you can use 0w40.
