Governor gasket replacement

[Wasgd4u]

Any tricks for doing this, I've heard that some type of sealant or permatex helps also.

If the governor is leaking oil, the housing is probably warped from being over tightened. Pull the governor off and remove the small set screw that you’ll find on the face next to the gear. Grasp the gear and pull the guts out of the housing and set them aside. Lay a metal rule across the cover & see if it is warped. If it is, get a fresh sheet of 100 grit sandpaper, lay it on a flat, true piece of steel, and lap the face of the housing until it’s flat again. Reassemble and put her back on with one fresh gasket. Permatex works; I like copper coat myself. You can replace the gasket & use a pint of gasket sealer but it will not stop a leak if the cover is warped.

And don't forget to put the short bolt back on top. Otherwise, you next post will be to ask for info on replacing the cam gear!

Save the work and use Permatex Ultra Grey RTV # 599BR. No gasket needed but use one if it makes ya feel better but add the sealer to both sides. The ultra grey is the best all around gasket sealer I have found for applications like this.

Its very EZ to over do the sanding and the gov. guts will bottom out in the timing cover. Cut'n down the housing can make matters worse. Their is a machined slot the center of the gov. fits were it goes into the timing cover. If you do resurface the housing check fit B-4 you nail the gov. down. I would test fit with out a gasket and make dang sure the to parts mate. Its inevitable that the gov. housing will warp that's why I prefer not to use a gasket at all, the gasket does work again you in time.

Lets see drank some nasty stuff that put me on the throne for a hour are so. I drained till all was clear. Watched TV and all that was on was food commercials and i am sit'n their bout to starve to death. I do know its impossible to git yer belly full sip'n soop broth. while waiting for the prep werk to B done I did check out how long that tube is that they run up in ya, 5 ft. They prep ed me and told me to turn over on my side that's the last thing I remember till they woke me up. When they woke me up I was pizzed I usely can not sleep as long as the sun is shin'n. If I am sleep'n don't wake me up less the house is on fire. doc told me all went well only one polyp BUT I did not do a good job git'n my bowl clean, I am think'n No Sheet what ya spec runs threw that thing. went home and slept a hour are so and ate a good supper, okra, squash, eye of round roast, maters and cucumbers. I recommend if enny one has this done git the pills. To show how big and bad I was I went with the liquid, It won its some nasty stuff to drink. That last glass is a test I could only git 1/2 of it down. Poured the rest down the drain. I spec my kitchen drain izz clean tho.

I'm just glad to hear you made it thru, all safe and sound!! And that you now have plenty of good garden food to eat!

Glad to hear it turned out ok (if you can say that it was ok...)

Be happy that the probe wasn't made by Tisco - it would have been 3 ft. too long and several inches thicker! (grin)

I just went through the same thing on the governor. pulled her apart and used the automotive type RTV. Don't use the [i:362c1c98f4][b:362c1c98f4]red[/b:362c1c98f4][/i:362c1c98f4] use the [b:362c1c98f4]black[/b:362c1c98f4]. Worked like champ and not a leak since and she's now a happy non leaking tractor.
The reason I say not to use the [i:362c1c98f4][b:362c1c98f4]red[/b:362c1c98f4][/i:362c1c98f4] as it's just not as good. Trust me on this one. This coming from dealership shop forman of over 40 years.

What patients say during Colonoscopies








What patients say during Colonoscopies

Colonoscopies are no joke , but these comments
during the exam were quite humorous..... A physician
claimed that the following are actual comments made
by his patients (predominately male) while he was
performing their colonoscopies:



1. "Take it easy, Doc. You"re boldly going where no
man has gone before!

2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"

3. "Can you hear me NOW?"

4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there
yet?"

5. "You know, in Arkansas , we"re now legally
married."

6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"

7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left
hand out..."

8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"

9. "If your hand doesn"t fit, you must quit!

10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."

11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn"t
you?"

12. "God, now I know why I am not gay."


And the best one of all...




13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that
my head is not up here?"
