    Coolant temp again

    Coolant picks up heat in the engine and gives up heat in the radiator. Why do you want to rush hot coolant through the radiator and back into the engine with the hi-flow nonsense?

    Question about a stuck 326 Dodge engine

    If that engine doesn't have a spun bearing preventing it from turning, I'd remove whatever gunk I could scrape up, scrape and power wash inside the coolant passages, clean those heads up and lap in the valves and probably clean the lifters, put it back together and run it. It would be mostly...

    Question about a stuck 326 Dodge engine

    Probably not your problem but pull your starter just to take it out of the equation. To explain, I had the nose cone break off the starter on a flathead 6cyl. It made a heck of a racket when I started it. When I pulled the starter off the broken nose cone was loose between the flywheel and the...

    Remember when?

    It's also not free if you have to start your compressor. Apparently they're used by the shoppers at the store as opposed to people driving 5 miles to get there.

    Question about a stuck 326 Dodge engine

    Acetone and ATF is an excellent rust-buster. I've read of people putting boiling water in the block to break the bond but have never tried it. No idea of the crankshaft movement. "Machinist's Workshop" recently published information on various penetrating oils. The magazine reports they tested...

    Does a tightly shaking vacuum gauge REALLY mean an ignition problem? Chasing my tail.

    I once witnessed a sticking valve free up on a 400 cuin. Ford by putting 1 quart of transmission fluid in the engine oil. It may not have been sticking real bad as I was surprised at how fast it cleared up.

    Does a tightly shaking vacuum gauge REALLY mean an ignition problem? Chasing my tail.

    Been running ethanol blended fuel in vehicles as old as 1938 with several rebuilt engines in the bunch as well as small and medium equipment and only had two instances where the fuel might have been a problem. 1) An Echo string trimmer that after using it for 20 years the grommet going into the...
