    Earley chevy motor ID

    1969 was the first year of the 4 bolt mains, they were used is high performance and heavy duty engine blocks, not all pickups got 4 bolt mains, plenty of them were 2 bolt.. All small blocks got upgraded in 1969, stronger webbing cast in the lower part of block, all blocks got the added...

    CAV Injection Pump Leak MF255

    Ive got a 245 but it's basically the same pump. I went through all the leaks a couple years ago, olives, gaskets, washers, everything leaked, finally the last leak was right where you see drips. There's an o-ring seal where that cylinder fits into the aluminum housing. I pulled the injector...

    Technical complicated question

    I say it really doesn't matter, but if it hinges on the rear, there's a chance the cap will blow open while trailering, also so it doesn't snag a tree limb or something.

    Anyone ever put screen in the air intake of a vehicle , to keep the rodents out ?

    I replaced a ram/cummins engine before from a rats nest in the in air filter box, $15k job.. It seems if left unchecked, the restriction caused the air filter to get sucked into the turbo, it ate the filter and some of the wire mesh. This sent paper pieces, dog food and acorns through the...

    12V battery pack if car battery is absent?

    Those little handheld boosters pack a big punch but small capacity. They also don't keep a constant supply to the vehicle, they will shut off once they sense the engine is running. The bigger jump packs still have sealed lead acid batteries, most of them will charge if left hooked up to a...

    AM radio static

    Either the "noise" is in coming into the radio on the power wire, or the antenna is picking it up. Does the noise have a linear increase in RPM, or does it have it's own RPM or rhythm? Do you get a pop or static when turning on lights, honking horn or using other electrical loads? Moving the...

    Head stud torque spec?

    Yes, hand tight,then just verify all of them bottomed out, Most head bolts threads should be lubricated with engine oil and the torque spec considers that, I don't know of any that call for installing dry. I say most because there's probably something out there that calls for dry, that...

    Does anyone use Redtec refrigerant in their tractor AC?

    R-290 propane? I've used propane and it works great. I forgot the ratio, its around 1/2 of R12 capacity, but the car I put it in called for 2.5lbs R-12, I used about 1lb of propane and it blows ice cubes at idle on a 100 degree day. I bought a brass adapter to screw a torch bottle thread to...

    F-150 starter question

    The spec is going to be 12V, but they will engage fine around 10v turning over enough to start. That's an unusual question, since the circuit only deals with battery voltage, but the relay/solenoid will engage probably down to 6-8v. If battery voltage is low, it might engage but not enough...

    Generator to alternator conversion

    If the amp gauge works, it should have a wire going to B+ (battery side), The other terminal of the amp gauge should supply power to the rest of the tractor (tractor side). I'm not trying to argue which is better, but if you need to rewire it, and you aren't particular to amp gauges, just use...

    Hyd cylinder broken end

    I had a steering rod break just like that, mounted through the rod hole too. Since the rod was trashed I decided to weld a Heim joint on it for a temporary repair, 5 years and counting.

    2014 ford f-150

    If it's the regular V6, that solenoid is mounted to the intake manifold, right behind the throttle body. If its the ecoboost, the solenoid is made onto molded vacuum lines, near the top/center of the LH valve cover.

    2014 ford f-150

    The EVAP purge solenoid is common like Hobo mentioned, hard or no start after filling with fuel, more pronounced if filling an empty tank, maybe a goofy or low idle too-maybe. The purge solenoid sticks open allowing fuel vapors to get pushed into the engine when refueling. If it happens...

    Hard Riding Mower

    A full suspension ZTR is a game changer if comfort is important to you. My ZTR can hit 18MPH and I can go through my pasture at full speed with comfort, bumps don't matter, its a very smooth ride. I don't mow that fast but its nice for comfort and speed. I feel that your money would be...
