SOHC

This engine is a QR25 to, I will give it a google.

My new mig witch I have used about 4 times has had about 4 different gas leeks, fixed them all but now the valve in the torch is leaking, never come across one with a valve here, I think spatter finds its way into the valve.

Nice, I use to have a CB360 scrambler with high pipes. Did you find some yokes? They look the same as 400/550

Finally got some front tires, never in my life have I had to buy such expensive tires, the single most expensive item on the car so far.

Or car too old?

Someone gave me an OB2 scan tool to try to find out why the engine light is on in the 2004 Nissan but it says link error after it scans, I tried it in a couple other cars and it says the same thing, is that just a crappy scan tool?

I might try and come if I don’t forget

I need to make a quick decision now to change plans on my engine build, should I fit this crank witch uses modern style shell big end bearings and a positive rear main seal? I would have to change the rear seal plate in the block witch just sits in and is held in place by the sump and I will need to fit the later oil pump and buy a new seat of big end bearings. Or should I just run with the old full floating bearings?

Do you have a magnet close by or you welding in a conner? DC gets arc blow like there is wind blowing it, AC won’t do it

How much pressure should I put in some 10 ply light truck tires?

I ordered a set of new front tires and took the car around to the shop when I did it, I thought he sed 5.80 15” but they are 5.60 15” pretty vague in the measurements, he had some 6.80 15” witch he sed the ones he ordered would be the same but a bit lower in the side wall, I went to pick them up and they are way too small, they are for a 3.5” rim not a 6”, and he is saying he won’t take them back as he got them in for me but I reckon it’s 80% his fault, I don’t know much about shitty old crosply tire sizing the tire width is all over the show.

I welded on one exhaust flange and it was 80% empty when o had to get one in an emergency.

Yes the air goes right past the rings into the sump and then back up past the rings on the next cylinder and out the exhaust

Went for a drive today, it’s going better than ever apart from the hot start problem witch may be related to the worn out ignition switch witch causes a misfire sometimes. Speedo is working well, 30 MPH works out to be about 58 KPH I can live with that, side mirror blew off but luckily it landed in the car, PCV is wonderful, oil stays clean and way less fumes, I am wondering about slotting the distributor for more advanced, I set it max advance all ready and I am running 91 with no pinging. On the hunt for some 600-15” tires, my front tires are old and hard like they are made from stone

Ended up fitting new front wheel bearings, back ones need doing at some stage, the replacement Chinese bearings are a little less shitty than the ones in the wheels, I packed them with molly grease as anything you put that shit in lasts 10 times as long. Put the carb rebuild kit in and the carb was leaking out the main jet so I put the old one back in, I found to set the pilot mixture on a Tecumseh carb you bring the screw out till you hit max RPM then set the idol stop adjuster to the desired idol, then set the main till the engine is sweet. brake cable snapped and pull start cord broke, got a new cord and found the mesh for the air intake is cutting into it from factory. I will go to my old work and make a new cable.

My friend had spacer plates cut to pack out the stock steel rocker covers on his 302 Chevrolet z28 when he put roller rockers in it.

My Cleveland had a PCV vent baffle went almost as deep as the rocker cover in between the valve springs, it was just 2 plates, I have an aftermarket alloy Dana diff cover witch the vent gives problems to, I think no thought goes into the vent baffles, try the steel valve covers?

Yes it’s #3

They get them on tick and cannot afford new tires

I will point it out to her on Thursday

I saw a woman driving a brand new Volvo SUV with snow tries all round the otherday

Is that a Hydromatic or a C4?

Apco has F type fluid and it’s a fraction of the price than anywhere

That’s the valiant oil filter I am running as a bypass filter, it will be 85% flow with the new motor, it’s tapped in next to the oil pressure gauge with a 50 thou jet to bleed off oil, then it returns to the sump, it’s not the best but that’s all they had apart from they had a cartridge type. Tomorrow I will get some spacers parted off frown this hollow bar to put under the adjusters on the rear coil overs, I need a bit of extra preload on the rear shocks. when I was underneath I think my diff is leaking out the front seal, I have never changed one of them, I want to do a front and rear seal in the trans to when the engine is out. Edit, spacer rings didn’t work but I made a better C spanners from a leaf spring and I got almost 20mm more and that has made everything better.

I am going to run a remote 95% flow oil filter rather than the 10% flow, my Brengun carrier block has an extra port for this and all I need to do is install a grub screw between the gallery’s, it use to have a very complicated system with an oil cooler + filter + bypass valve. Been having Barry battles about this on Fordbarn, I am going to run 1/4” fittings and some of them say I need to drill them out to 3/8 but the factory system uses 1/4” and people fucked the block with 3/8 by making the oil galleries wall too thin, I have steel 1/4 fittings I can drill out a bit. I went to pick a part and there was a valiant with a slant 6 and I got a really cool remote filter.
