Txakura

Parked mine. Gave it time off from daily combat. Fixed some crap on my Jeep so the Suubie can be down for a while... Have some cool parts waiting for me to install, somehow I went from being underemployed to being overworked and some things, like Subraus and dirty laundry don't seem to take care of themselves

I do that too. I kind of dig it. Mine is on hard down hill right turns, it was a bonus feature of the 87 engine I put in my 90. Otherwise everything else is just fine. Someday I hope the local sheriff is behind me when it happens. He'd get all excited about it I'm sure.

damn...

that is a direction I like, I'm interested too

and hello Kenya! I haven't been around for long on the bbs, but I'm not sure if there have been too many members from Africa! welcome

It almost looks like you could use a short roll pin from the hardware store (<$1) it almost made me think it was a balancing hole in your pic, but I guess it does perfectly line up in the other piece mine didn't have that feature, but on the other hand the pulley center bolt torque is pretty high - it hasn't done anything weird

hmmm.... well, mine didn't have a key, it was just bolted (1990 donor, 1987 recipient) are you saying the crank had a place for it but the pulley you got didn't?

Well, Chux let me sort of 'pre-pay' for a harness. I look at it this way; eventually I will do a swap, Chux will make me a professional looking bundle and it is one less thing for me to screw around with when the time comes... I also wanted to help his cause, i.e. this accident is ridiculous and he's getting jerked around.

almost be worth it to make a floater that wandered around to members that wanted to use it...

PM sent

PM coming

covers are already gone, but everything else looked intact Chux, you mean, she stole the car? thats what they're saying? wtf is the point of having insurance... sorry man that's lame, and I hope you really stick it to them - the best part is, you probably would have been happy getting your car fixed, and any other bills paid - but by the time the lawyers get through fighting for their pay it'll add thousands and thousands of dollars I had a car accident go from 5K to 47K that way, if the damn company had been honorable in the first place instead of juking me around they would have saved 42K get em Chux!

^^^ trackin' wit' you both

I see. Extremely logical. In this case, it got pretty involved and I replaced the awful bolts that were in it and cut new bolts to the exact (longest) length possible. I used a grip gauge and factored in lock washers and the thickness of the exhaust flange... I'm confident I have full thread engagement. That being said, I will be pulling my engine in the near future and while it's out it makes sense to convert it back to a stud - thanks for explaining.

^^^ I don't disagree, but if the guys money is super tight, the cheapest is to take a 'known good engine' and put it right in...

I inherited a set of pre wanked holes on my second engine. I'm using bolts now, with lock washers. Question; why would the stud be better? (as in, should I convert it back?)

really awesome pics and scenery, the three look great together too!

if'n your taking his crap on, maybe you can store some of mine?

awww man... maybe next year I will have something fun to bring (and not be working 7 days a week) to everyone that made it, I send my best, have a good time and a safe trip to and from

and a very nice looking Brat it is, good deal re: people not too bright; I've seen something similar, it's almost like 'what's old is new again'

ditto - thank you for stepping in

almost seems like the vacuum and electrical are okay... sort of leaves mechanical... hmmmm all the fluid levels are up to full?

I want to see it hand grenade

I had a manual, the auto is different... so someone like GD or Gloyale needs to step in at this point. The switch should run under the carpet to a relay, I believe, that the dash board wouldn't light at all if the relay wasn't closing. the canister and lines aren't likely to get plugged is the idle okay? a vacuum line leak would make it idle roughly... what happens if you put it in 4wd with the car idling? does the engine change rpm or run crappy?

there we go, that's what I'm talking about I used rolling stands on small aircraft engines, same thing, no coolant, lots simpler
