Rubber bushings…..sacrilege

We used WD40 on the heims when we raced on dirt. That was more for convenience and the fact it limited the dirt that stuck to the heim. WD40 isn’t a high strength lubricant. A light coating with a high shear grease will minimize wear BUT has to be kept relatively clean.

Cylinder heads are the #1 denominator for useful power. Its all about air flow. Both of which I think you already know. I really enjoy and have learned so much from watching Engine Masters on Motor Trend Network. If you are looking to configure an engine around a certain set of heads you may be...

You should be charging it through the low side only. Make sure the schrader valve is being depressed by the charge connector. You can jump 12 volts to the compressor clutch while running the eng to draw the refrigerant in. The low pressure switch will not allow the clutch to engage until a...

Walt stop being cheap. Buy a bunch of bulbs, put them in, energize the bulbs, pour two glasses of wine for you and the significant other, turn out the lights and make it a party!

Ken come to think of it the Kenworth I drive on occasion does use a tank similar to what came with the SLC. Maybe I'm just jaded because I was a Chevrolet service manager when Dexcool was causing a lot ( A LOT :mad:) of cooling system corrosion problems for cars and trucks with iron engine...

As far as I know the expansion tank should be full with no air when cold because this is actually part of the primary/ radiator system. Think of it as being the top tank of the radiator. Air is a proponent of corrosion. The overflow tank therefor eliminates air from entering the cooling system...

Back in the day (early 80's) I was a Mercedes Benz, BMW, Rolls Royce tech at Rallye Motors in Glen Cove on Long Island. One of my fellow techs moonlighted at Mr. Wonders shop and I had the opportunity to tag along a few times. I remember being in awe of the bright orange Mclaren with the...

:oops:

I believe the main tank is 2 quarts and the overflow is 1.5.......its been awhile since I had them made. The level in the overflow fluctuates about 2 inches hot to cold. I run it 1 inch above the lower fitting when cold. Frank the body is relieved above the cap and although it is tight the...

My coolant arrangement

I only use a sight tube on my expansion tank. As long as your radiator cap is working properly that’s really all that’s needed. If you lose enough fluid that the primary tank is low that’s usually an obvious leak or overheating situation.

one word...Stunning

Your not looking out of the glass as it is so wrap up the lexan and use it as a form to make a fiberglass negative mold . You can then modify the mold to accept the intake and give it some useful vents. If you protect the lexan properly it will still be able to be used in the future. I've seen a...

Does any one know the part number for a SPEC clutch that is in my car. It is an LS3 mated to a G96-01 trans with a GBOX adapter. It appears to have a SPEC stage 2 in it now. SPEC's website isn't very informative and the current pressure plate's only marking is a #5 on its flange.

I'm currently in process in Pa. of tilting my car. I'm running into difficulty because I bought an incomplete car from a gentleman in NY. The certificate of origin was not signed or transferred into his name by RCR. I contacted my State Representative and subsequently have spoken to a dept of...

It’s a G96-01 push clutch

This is a street car.

What clutch manufacturers are you guys using with a LS3/480, Porsche G96 combo? I am currently using a Spec clutch and am interested in upgrading.

This is how I attached a removable tow hook. It has 1/4 inch plates below for strength.
