@stevenbelue54967 күн бұрын
There is no need to count the turns to bolt the rocker down, just like you said it has no effect on preload, because you bolt the trunnion down solid and there is no adjustment. If it was an adjustable rocker like the old sbc with a stud and locking nut this method might be applicable.

whats your suspension set up? I've been dealing with wheel hop on my completely stock 2010 grandsport m6 and I'm thinking about amt solid diff mounts and or bilstein shocks all around. The shocks look fine so I'm most likely gonna begin with the solid diff mounts. Do you still run the amt solid diff mounts and would they cause any damage in the long term? I don't mind the noise and vibration but I was curious to see how theyre holding up.
@WATCHMEWRENCH7 ай бұрын
In that video I had the AMT solid diff mount. If you look at my playlist I made a video on that as well. Howevere, I just changed the amt mount to Hinson poly mounts. There is a bit to much vibrations and sounds that resonate through the car with the solid mount. The poly mount is pretty stiff and hard and there is still some sounds but not as bad.

I just ordered one of these and haven’t installed it yet. What strikes me as strange is why is the bolt from the U frame not threaded all the way?

Recently got an ‘05 out of a barn that has 2016 plates on it. Dash was completely disassembled due to a wiring issue. I repaired the elec issues and got it all buttoned up and the car fired up immediately and ran great. Had a half tank of fuel and I filled it up and have run it down to 1/4 and still running perfectly, but I’d like to pump it way down as you’ve shown here because I gotta think there must be some water near the bottom. Wondering if I can cut pump power as soon as the stream stops and not damage the pump?
@WATCHMEWRENCH11 ай бұрын
Internet says you can burn out the pump if it runs to low. What I do is the following: When I think its running low on fuel, I stop and wait a period of time and let the fuel pump cool down. Then I go back and run the pump for another 30 seconds and then let it cool down and I do that til I see the steam of fuel is no longer constants. Once the stream starts to spit I stop.

Ok, ran the tank down to 1/8 indicated on gauge and jumped the relay and got a little over 2-1/2 gallons out. Energized it for a quart or so at a time, which took 20’ish seconds. Let it rest a minute between 20 second pumps. Refilled the tank and everything working great and fuel gauge seems to be really accurate. And other than being a little darker in color, the fuel I pumped out smelled ok and didn’t see any layering after sitting overnight. Split it into 3 milk jugs so easier to observe that.
