    Spec on long bolt?

    Earl, I would definitely buy 5 or 10. I believe that "If you produce it, TR's will but it". Mine has taken a beating, so much so, that I am ready to take it to a machine shop and see if they can cut me one from SS or Titanium rod. OP not trying pirate your thread, but Earl I have added some...

    Heater valve DIY

    Well as it turns out, I found my original water flow control valve. Of course it has an issue with it though. Thanks to this DIY though, I should be able to repair it. The only issue besides some rust needing to be from the removed valve tube, the valve appears to not be opening and closing...

    Heater valve DIY

    Terrific job! I was just looking into doing something similar to this, well I need to replace mine and I do not like the aftermarket heater control valve. I just so happened to search on valve covers and a link to this thread popped up. Good stuff and thank you for providing the details.

    Converting from Powermaster to Vacuum Brake

    I think I will have a friend of my mine who has done this already and who is a few inches shorter do the removal.

    New Owner of 2000 Regal GS

    Here I am over 3 years later and I have done nothing to the car, other than fix the heaters and get the smallest pulley possible for the SC. My wife keeps telling me to get rid of it because it is an eye sore. I keep telling her that I will eventually get my spare block rebuilt and slap a...

    Converting from Powermaster to Vacuum Brake

    I do not have any issues with my Powermaster, Powermaster is functioning fine, but I figured with the Powermaster now being close to 38 years old that it's time to convert over the vacuum brake setup. I bought a kit from SpoolFool and I am getting ready to start removing the Powermaster setup...

    How I port and paint a turbo.

    I bought the turbo brand new from Bison and the exhaust housing was the base casting, no paint or ceramic coat. As I mentioned some dude on met online who worked at a location right next to I-75, which I took to work, offered me a little bit of the graphite to coat the exhaust housing and it...

    How I port and paint a turbo.

    Should the exhaust housing be media blasted if the bare cast iron can't be achieved with a wire bush or a wire wheel with a drill? I attached a couple images and even using the wire wheel and drill I can't seem to get to the bare metal. When I first got the turbo I put some type of graphite...

    How I port and paint a turbo.

    So I figured it pretty easily after I gained more confidence talking to you. I was able to tap the exhaust housing with a mallet and I noticed that it moved a little and a few more taps I had clearance. Now on to cleaning and painting. Although the cartridge still has the paint on it from...

    How I port and paint a turbo.

    I will double check. Given the fact that I have never cracked a turbo apart, makes me give pause because I don't want to have to have the turbo rebuilt or outright ruin it. Even though this turbo is about 10 years old, it has a couple of thousand miles on it and not a single pass or even a...

    How I port and paint a turbo.

    Ok, I have a Precision 6265 Turbo and I am trying to pull the exhaust housing off. This is a journal bearing turbo and I was able to removed the compressor housing, but when trying to remove the exhaust housing bolts I was able to remove three or four of the five or six. There are two that I...
