Re: After Replacing the Headgasket

Re: Oil gallery modification
Oil does not need to go over the first dam. If you look at the cover you will see that oil can go around the dam and into the middle chamber. Ron W

Re: Oill pressure off the chart
As Tom has indicated, you are reading the pressure required to push the oil through the filter. When the filter is plugged it reads high. That's one way to tell. Mine exceeds 20# when revved up ...

Re: Thermostat problems
Good catch Bill! I think I would reverse the pump flow so the flow is in the normal direction. Ron W

Re: Thermostat problems

Re: Thermostat problems
Mine has two 1/8th " holes to allow some circulation while warming up. I've never had a problem. The hot water must be able to reach the thermostat before it boils. Ron W

Re: Pre - ignition Problem.
A 5.2 head would not produce 100 psi unless it has been milled. It sounds like you have a hot spot in the combustion chamber which could be caused by a sharp edge (among other things) from the...

Re: Crank Shaft End Thrust Question?
You can't use the rear main thrust bronze without removing the babbit. If it were mine I would leave it till the motor needed a rebuild for other reasons. Other opinions may vary. Ron W

Re: TIG practice and a question
Craters can be caused by contaminants and/or not enough argon. Use at least 15 cfph on steel. Holes 1/4 in or larger should be plugged first with metal the same thickness and then welded. That...
