Re: Distilled water
I run 500 psi steam pressure in my coal fired steam locomotive. Which has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Re: 1931 Tudor Phaeton
Ask for receipts. Bring a second person with you when you inspect the car, one who is knowledgeable. The 2 door was the deluxe phaeton. If you buy it you will have to commit to finishing it, which...

Re: Homemade Radiator Mascots
A hood mascot on an F 250 is cute but if the truck hit a pedestrian and they flew up on the hood, I can see a law suit. The new RR's have a retractable flying lady hood mascot for safety. My friend...

Re: Clutch chatter
The best thing is to take the clutch apart, either by removing the engine or removing the rear end and transmission. It is easier for me to remove the engine because then the clutch is accessable...

Re: Tie rod and drag link question ?
Delrin is a much better material in this application than Teflon. It wears much better and does not take a set, but still is low friction.
I changed out to the plastic ball seats because I want...

Re: help! clutch won‘t disengage…
Something has broken that has caused a shift in the adjustment. Things can still move, but , as J Franklin said, not enough to disengage the clutch. Look at the "clutch activating arm" shown in the...

Re: Shortened pitman arm
I would not try JB Weld, but you could weld up the ball and then grind it spherical. A special tool is normally used on a lathe to cut a spherical shape. You will have a hard time getting it true...

Re: help! clutch won‘t disengage…
I don't think there is anything you can do on the road.
There are two likely issues: The lever on the arm that sticks out of the clutch housing may have broken. This is a weak area in the...

Re: Distilled water
It all depends on the quality of the water where you live. Where I live the water if fairly free of dissolved minerals. Even though pure water is better at heat transfer than a 50/50 mix of...

Re: Can't replace hub after replacing brake pads.
All the above are good suggestions. But also check that the cam (the siding part that pushes out the shoes) is actually sliding. And check to see that the rollers on the shoes are sitting correctly.

Re: Transmission pops out of third gear
The shims should be the same thickness as any gasket between the flywheel housing and the bell housing. No gasket, no shims.
I think you are grasping at straws and a transmission rebuilt is in...

Re: Power Loss After Carb Rebuild
Check to see if the throttle is opening all the way first. Since you put in a new main jet, another thing to check is to see if the tip of the jet is at the throat of the venturi. If it is not at...

Re: Crank hole cover rivet
A method to reduce the precision required is to use one of those spring washers. There are two types, conical and the ones that look like a potato chip.

Re: Oil leaking around spark plug 2 &3
The gasket is the seal, not the threads. I doubt that having the threads broken at the top would allow oil, or combustion products, to leak out. (However I have been wrong in the past.) Screw...

Banditorama may be correct that the fuel is coming out the idle jet (Post #8). But it is also probably coming from other places too. 1.5 liters is a lot to have come out the throttle shaft. It...
