Brian said I should post this. So here's a shifter conversion that one of my clients has done here in Australia. He's been rebuilding a Pilot by himself , body mechanics, all. Doing a great job I might add, I just give him advice on the mechanical stuff now and then. He did show me the head...

1. So I finally assembled the trans after smashing some teeth off the cluster, thought I'll get it right and also ordered a NOS second gear etc. So all 'seems' ok, been for a few runs. I thought to myself I have another case and about 80% of parts to build another "spare - ready to go" trans . I...

Ive got a few syncro [blocker] rings in my box of goodies. These ones are "older" ones Ive collected. The newer looking ones have a gap of [roughly] .036 to second gear and the older are more like .026 . slightly different teeth shape, both seem to fit well. Which would you use??

Hi Guys Im chasing the small rear hub bearings 68-1225 , I'd like to find original ones NOS or even really good second hand ones reasonably priced . Not the new modern ones. Im not in the U.S Im in Australia, so international post. Thanks, Rob

Chasing a 68-7113 28-24-18-14 T Cluster gear [takes the caged roller bearings, 2 prong end.

Ok so this is in my 35 pickup 39 trans, 40diff. I have a few issues to address, Ive smashed teeth off the second gear cluster [so ill be calling out for one 68-7113. 28-24-18-14T] and the sleeves we put on the diff a while back are just cactus*. Im just getting a consensus with you guys as to...

I have original '40' rims the ones that have 3 rivets on each section [4] that hold the inner to outer band, are they ok to run [tubeless] radial tyres on, they dont leak through those rivets at all?

Went out to see my friend Keith to grab some flathead parts.. We played with toys ; o ) and yes the 6 wheeler is flathead V8 powered. https://www.facebook.com/659153063/videos/304028064862573/

Is there a spec for movement in the shaft of the starter motor? any good links to rebuilding?

I hope everyone has a great Christmas. Its tough in this changing world, Ive had to change my world and it wasn't even covid related. I've lost my job and had to focus on our own new business and I dont drive the 35 pickup daily like I used to and thats been really hard ; ( Stay strong and I...

Ummm a cracked lifter..😦 great !!

I picked up these wires locally, fronts are Ford but I have no idea what the rears are anyone recognise them what are they off? They are 5" wide so can take a bigger tyre and fit no problem. Now I need to replace the tyres on the rears so have gone for a 215/85R 16 . I will have to fit tubes...

Usually you see descriptions on how to clock piston rings for install in " conventional engines" any gurus clock them a certain way for a flathead?

This is the center main bearing I just pulled out, was in the engine 3 years. What gives?

Came across this on a Y block site, seem like a good idea . Anyone tried one? https://progressionignition.com/

I cant remember if Ive shown you guys the flathead camshaft my wife bought me for my birthday a few years ago.. Still haven't gotten around to light it up :rolleyes:

Well I fired the engine up yesterday with no real issues, disappointed that it didnt fire first crank like the least one I did but I did play with the carbs :rolleyes:, no leaks all seems good except for the new clutch its horrible!! The flywheel was lightened, balanced , faced. It just seems to...

Hi guys sent an email to Best but I don't think they'll get back too me quick. Does anyone know the compressed thickness of their graphtite 507 head gaskets? Also any prep for them on install?

Where's the best area for weight removal for balancing. Any tips would be helpful. Cheers.

Well Its not often I get let down but it wouldn't start at work ..clunk was all I got. Eventually it started and I drove home and knew something was not right it was running on 6 -7 cylinders, vacuum gauge was down and fluctuating.. After pulling heads this is what I found :eek: looks like a...
