I apologize for the confusion. I was referring to Cyl. 2 in that post which would be considered negative nip in that situation since the highest measurement is still (every so slightly) negative,...

Thanks for the info. After a few conversations with people locally, a touchup sounded like the ideal path. But with the engine being somewhat uncommon I wanted to see if there were other options or...

I used a straight edge and feeler gauges the first time around. I didn't get the most consistent measurements and eventually came to redo it because I was not comfortable with that inconsistency....

I cannot adjust any of the dial arms, as they are calibrated and mechanically linked together. All that can be done is to rotate the outer rim to rotate the thousandths scale. So, I can only zero the...

Its not going to ever be 0 there unless its completely extended. That's the 10ths gauge as its a 1" travel plunger. The large gauge that's set at 0 is the thousands dial, and you'll notice in the two...

Second go around on engine rebuild because I'm crazy and decided to take this on almost 10 years ago :hysterical: This time around though, I've cleaned up the liner seats like I should have the...

No, those were done right by a shop in PHX.

Once I get to re-assembly I'll give this all a try. Thanks for the feedback. If I have any issues in the future with assembly, will assess and ask...

Let me back up and start over for clarity.

My crankcase/lower crankcase/102031 was sandblasted on every surface, including the mating surfaces. What needs to be done to get this to a point that it...

Apologies for the confusion. I'm referring to part #102031 "Crankcase" I'd edit my original post to clarify this, but it appears I cannot. The block is fine.

The surface isn't warped (as far as I...

I looked around for some information on this but have been able to find none. So far that doesn't instill much confidence.

Can the crankcase be resurfaced? If so, what is the max that can be taken...

No, no balls showed damage; and trust me, they were thoroughly inspected.

The bearings themselves all looked okay, and only looked more dull than they were om other joints. The races were the...

SHAMELESS PLUG

On the topic of mini-Flux capacitors, I made a bunch of Flux ornaments for the AZ-D Christmas party last year to hand out. I have a bunch left and threw them up on Etsy for the...

I have not, do you mean findpart.org, or something else? Google wasn't able to turn up much that was relevant other than findpart.org.




Most likely. Still hammering out details right now...

I love that comparison!

I talked this over with a couple of friends last night, a couple of guys who are gearheads and webdevs. It sounds like this is something that could be useful in a few car...

That is why I envision a community backed project. Currently no stock of a part? (Like the clutch I waited over 8mo for a couple years ago) Check out and see what alternatives there are. A listed...

The idea started in another thread, so there is currently more activity in there than here unfortunately. But the idea is to turn this in to a community maintained catalog.

Using your oil filter...

You do bring up a good point here. I would certainly want to include the main resources in the list if I did go ahead with it. But I can only imagine there are people out there who either do not...

Yup, had no clue. Information is hard to find on a forum, or on the internet when trying to find something compatible with a 30 year old car. This is why I would like to see a much more complete...

Ah, 7 pages of mashed together information, with general conversation spliced in the middle.

I am talking a real website, that is solely for the purpose of cross-reference parts, with a list of...

I recently dove in to rebuilding my CV joints, to find that one of them was pretty well worn. DMCMW Dave chimed in saying "Parts car part." meaning replacement internals are NLA. DPI Josh chimed in...

Holy shit. Thats good to know. Does there exist a real and in-depth cross-reference list of replacement parts? I feel this would be something stupidly useful, and if not, I would certainly be okay...

It is indeed possible, I have left the PO a message asking if he remembered anything about it, but I have yet to hear back




It is a non-stock suspension. I believe it is the Eibach/SPAX...

Interesting. I only drove it a hundred miles or so after I bought it, since then its been sitting there while I rebuild it as a side project. Don't remember the status of the boots as the...

Finally got around to rebuilding the CV joints on both driveshafts. All went smoothly save for the last one. There was some serious wear and it has me concerned. Both the inner race and outer race...

Am going a rebuild job on a driveshaft, and appear to have lost the snap rings. Anyone got a a replacement part number so I can order new ones? I tried looking around for information on them, but I...
