i am building a mid engine rail with a 2.3 lima. flipping the ring gear in the transaxle will weaken it. how hard will it be to put bus reduction set up on an irs suspension? putting them on would make flipping the ring gear unneeded.

Hello brother, this is the video I was waiting for, thank you , you made it look so easy. the flywheel shims that was a good tip, do you also use the dial up tool to set the flywheel end play. the way you did it is much simple. Also do you use any kind of sealant when using the metal push rod tube seal ? I got a short block that I need to put together and this video give me very much confident. Thank you my brother have a blessed weekend.

Great job brother ,looks very good. Using washers to pull dents is a great tip. One question, had you used the spot welder to put panels together or you prefer the the mig welder? Just purchased a dual tip spot welder to work on my Double Cab so I don't have to drill and grind to much especially on the floor and bed panels . You have a blessed week

Nice job with the porting. I note that in all the videos I have watched, the presenter has not physically bolted up the exhaust flanges to the relevant ports using Prussian Blue or Bearing Blue, then unbolt to confirm the areas to be removed for a near perfect match. Maybe your gasket match was good enough. Well done anyway. Cheers
