    The four flywheel bolts

    You can usually buy a good flywheel at a swap meet for $5. My guess is your flywheel has been resurfaced too much. I wouldn't use it. Just my guess/opinion

    What's the best way to straighten...

    Yeah - -heat it up till it starts to turn red then bang it with a hammer till it looks right. These are pretty common (unbent) at swap meets - --- $5-10?

    Can this engine be repaired?

    How much shim did you find under the main bearings?

    drum

    John, In my opinion, you should fix this the right way. Buy a new stud. If you don't have the tools, most machine shops can fix this in about 5 minutes - -probably charge you $10-20. Just my opinion

    Rebuilding Vacuum Windshield Wipers

    You should be able to manually rotate the shaft and feel the air flow out of the port. If you don't feel a pretty good air flow when you rotate the shaft, you've probably got a bad wiper.

    Still dripping oil from flywheel housing cotter pin

    In my experience, this amount of leak is usually caused by oil coming out of the rear main. You may be able to fix this by removing the rear main and removing shims. I've seen a lot of the pipes tack welded or soldered. That's where I'd start - -just my opinion

    Bad knock in 2nd gear UPDATE

    once again - -this is just my opinion. You can't fix this without removing the transmission. You're going to have the rear end out anyway - -(and you should consider things like changing the axel seals - -you can only get to those by removing the trumpets) Usually damage like this...

    Rope seal

    OK guys - -don't shoot me - -this is just my opinion It's easier to drop the pan and do it right. I'd bet I'd be done before you got the old one out. Again,, just my opinion.

    Steering column broke in half

    I guess I didn't explain very well - -yes you can pull just the tube - -no need to pull the box. By the way - -welding is not a very good fix, it's temporary at best - -this is great chance to get a new good tube and put in new shiny spark and throttle rods - -

    Steering column broke in half

    Glen, So, this is just a break in the tube - rig'ht? I've seen this before - -I been told it is caused by tightening the bottom bolts, then needing to push up on the column to get in into the gas tank bracket. Puts a load on the tube - -vibration - -etc. Yes you can get just the...
