I'll clarify, I did not change the seals myself. I provided the seals to the shop I had doing the valve job or whatever to the head - I don't usually pass up an opportunity to buy a new tool, but I never... -
I'd be leery of just using the piston, the valve only contacts on the piston on one side. I've heard of folks dropping a bunch of rope into the cylinder, then rotating to TDC to support more of the valve....Last edited by fleetw00d; 10-17-2020, 10:50 PM.Leave a comment:

I suppose you could call this one good luck - he missed - so nothing happened, at least to me other than interrupted sleep. I'm sure most of the speeding drivers in the neighborhood are actually residents...Leave a comment:

Spoke too soon. It still tells me I have 1008 "topics" so it won't let me send a message. I know I'm not allowed to start threads in the beginner section, but I can't even reply. Anyone know...Last edited by fleetw00d; 10-16-2020, 10:14 PM.Leave a comment:

The first doctor said my back looked good for a 50 year old (and I'm a dozen years beyond that). I saw the 2nd doctor after the MRI, she said there is some edema (evidence of blood) in a plane across...Leave a comment:

Leaking intake valves at the seat would just flow back into the intake, not help pressurize the crankcase. Leakage past the valve seals does end up in the crankcase....Leave a comment:

I was able to get to the classifieds section, but I didn't see where it asks for the password.

So how does one add an avatar?
What happened to the classifieds? Also, system says I have 1008 messages; I deleted a bunch, but it still says I have 1008 so it won't let me send any messages....Last edited by fleetw00d; 10-14-2020, 12:06 AM.Leave a comment:

Had he not missed, it would have solved my dilemma of whether I attempt the more involved rust repair of the frame box section and spring tower, then the quarters again.
To their credit,...Last edited by fleetw00d; 10-04-2020, 09:02 PM.Leave a comment:

Close Call This Morning
Nothing like being awakened in the middle of the night by screeching tires and crunching metal. Some fool 15 yr old kid missed Ruby by about two feet around 3:20 this morning claiming he swerved to miss...Last edited by fleetw00d; Yesterday, 12:04 AM. -
