Re: Head bolts
I did not end up replacing those compression fittings. I was at that point where I wanted to be done. I did change the longer hoses from the pump to the hard line, but since they were functional I decided to put the one back that I had removed and move on. I had an issue with the sending units lock ...

Re: Head bolts
Thank you for your compliments. In all honesty, this has been an as-low-budget-deal as possible. I am fortunate that there was much less wrong than I had planned for or feared to find, so the budget was not nearly as strained as it may have been. I have also been going to pains to stay on task and n...

Re: Head bolts
For everyones further info, I let the problem simmer in my head for a couple of days and concluded that I needed to re- remove the camshafts yet again. My initial plan was to put a puller on the back sides of the sprockets but there still was not enough room for one- I tried several. I ended up risk...

Re: Head bolts
Thats fine, Ill try asking there. i think I know the answer I'll get though..... Heat. I dont want to scorch the chain after Ive got this far but done evenly enough I suppose it will be fine.

Re: Head bolts
I did finally get the last 3 studs out using heat, Kroil, and a big visegrips low down just above the lower threads. I was initially very leery of using uneven heat right next to the cylinders like that, but no apparent harm was done. At this point head is back on, cams are mounted, tappet guides ch...

Be careful to remove the correct screws, there are 3 that hold the whole thing in and 3 that hold the horn contacts. Those 3 are adjustable and if you set them too close you ...

Re: Auto transmission shift linkage
i see more what you are faced with now. A5FD18CA-AC7F-4B50-A1FB-7155C99B2B9B_1_105_c.jpeg I think I was replacing the Ujoint in the column at this point. You can see that the shifter rod has a right hand tunr in it at the end where it hooks to the cable. This is one of the parts that neither the sho...
