    Sealant recomendation for block plugs ect?

    Building an engine for a friend, or I should say I am just starting reassembly of the engine. It's been torn down to the bones, cleaned, tanked, ect... Anyhow while finishing up some cleanup the various plugs in the block caught my eye, and their orange sealant on them kinda flaking away from...

    Pulling a ZF6

    Looks much like the way a friends pan was leaking. We were smart and put dye in before pulling the trans. He was hoping for rear main seal, once the flywheel was off it was obvious it was the area on the bottom of that cover plate where it meets the pan. Funny thing is that he had his previous...

    Rebuilding heads, got some questions. Long read lots of backstory

    Thanks for the info. What is the call on the new cups in the heads I did two weeks back? Would they have to be replaced if having Napa hot tank to clean up the heads?

    Rebuilding heads, got some questions. Long read lots of backstory

    Injector cup problem with no fuel in coolant?

    I am doing injectors on a friends truck, and things have been going along well till I got to the pass side. 7 of the 8 injectors (@377k miles all original) looked the same in the area below the lowermost o-ring. One was very clean and has what looked like some pitting and light rust to the body...

    de-watering methods

    not to sound like a dick, but you couldn't be more wrong about the above. A gravity fed centrifuge spinning at 3450 or 6000 rpm, will dry and clean your oil in a single pass if you feed it slow enough. Sure startup cost is pretty high to do it right, but in the long run the savings in time...
