I remember the first time I met you sharning about duratorque tensioners. back before sharns were even called sharns.

I'm not a fan of duratorques. only place they should be used is on supercharger tensioners.

VHT Bro chrome looks lush when first done. But it never seems to go properly hard. I'd love to try a two pack enamel clear over the top and see if it helps keep it good.

It has a drain bung. The old gas I drained out is being burned up in my 50cc. Fuck it stinks bad.

What I don't want is new gas to dislodge the scale and have it block up the filter sock on the new pump. I've used stones before on a motor bike tank.

It's not fucked by any stretch. It just has varnish scale build up in a few places. the chain trick should work. I might get Mr Karcher to stick his nose in there too.

I've got acid in.my "DG" cupboard. But it's not rusty. The inside of the tank looks to be zinc protected. So if I fizz it with acid I'll. Be removing that factory rust proofing.

I have a concrete mixer here too. I like @igor chain idea too.

What's the best stuff to use to clean out a fuel tank? It's not rusty, but there's rather a lot of crusty varnish inside it.

One got very hot (trying to unlaunch a boat stuck in sand) and wore through the hardening on the gearset. That one was a 75, 25 spline with a four pinion open centre.

Not to mention my old VG coupe. Popped the diff one day after revin......

Has it been mentioned yet that the bigger the gearset, the greater the driveline losses? I've heard tales of cars doing slower E.T.'s after going 9" from BW diffs. The two pinion bw75's are piss weak junk though. I've seen many many many of them thow in the towel. Back in the day dad's XD work ute used to eat one about every 9 months. His Val has put quite a few two pinion ones to the sword too.

Got any more details?

I too was curious as to what kind of torque monster did that to an 8 3/4 axle. I've seen lengthy debates on the www as to what rear to run in a 9 second car. Hundreds of replies insisting either 8 3/4, Dana 60, or 9 inch.
