I know nothing of these new LS engines, although starting to see that everyone wants and uses them.

Tell me Blacky 525000 kays do you think that engine has ever been freshened before ? Its astounding that a block of steel can travel that far.

What size donk is it ? can you give me some spec on it ...

Great job mate,

It all starts to make sence when some paint goes on and suddenly you realise not much more to go.

Great work Clay,

Looks like you are getting the hang of the welding also, car good for another 30 !!

Greg

Stop scratching Clay, youll find less.

Good to attend now rather than let it get away.

Another quaritty ploduct I see.

Ha Ha Ha,

Lets not get confused here, the Tom Thumb is an excelent oil pump that I use all the time, particularly for gearboxes.
I think i got it from Super cheap, it has a horseshoe metal hook on the end of the tube and fits and stays in most machinery orificess (couldnt help myself !)

He will be ...

That is a great outcome and cudos for the outside of the box thinking.

Pretty good for its design and age you know !

Blacky's theory is spot on.

The only issue with large psi caps can be the heater core, especially if it is old. Most are rated at 7psi only.
If you are real keen put in a recovery cap and a bottle at the end of the overflow hose, this will catch the blowby but suck it back in when it cools.
You can ...

Hi Clay can't remember where your sender is placed ?

That position may also give different readings.

Greg

Never ending maintenance !!

Good stuff Clay, will the PV be up and hopping for Stanny ?

Greg

Hi Clay,
Yes less caster one side will make the vehicle pull to that side but i dont like it because not all roads have the same camber.

Looking at your 2mm to 4mm toe, I think that is too much but without seeing what your caster is i can't be sure if your tyre wear is because of that only.

This ...

Hi Clay,
I do the caster then camber then do the toe last.
CASTER is done by turning the wheels left 20 degrees from straight ahead then taking a reading of the inclination of the wheel then turning the wheel right 20 degrees from straight ahead and repeating the measurement. You calculate the ...

I hope thats not oil fume accumulating on the back tailgate

Great old car, probably will need a full mechanical overhaul again after the kays youve done !!!

I was talking to Bruce from your club at the Nats and he was looking at me weird when i told him i do all my alignments myself.
Its really easy.
You need two degreed wheel plates (swivel type), I bought them on ebay.
A level that measures degrees, string line and a bracket that sits flush on your ...
