Re: Restoring Rusty
so I went to Sears I mean its a Craftsman they should replace it right? Wrong, they only replace torque wrenches for 1 year and if you have the receipt, now I sure hope the new one I bought for $75 bucks from them don't break in the first year, but it is made in China so you never know

Re: Restoring Rusty
so this is how I adjust the valves, I like this method because you do half than you rotate the engine once and do the other half
so put the #1 cylinder at top dead center and do the following valves notice you are not touching #6 at all |

Re: Restoring Rusty
then you spin the engine once to #6 top dead center and you do the remaining valves (the blue side of the white board)
you do not touch #1 this time |

Re: Restoring Rusty
the intake manifold was up next, I honestly dread this part as I hate gooping the China Walls and making sure I lower the intake manifold properly aligned on to all that mess
so here I spray one side of the gasket with adhesive and let it set for a bit |

Re: Restoring Rusty
this time I set the engine on top dead center for #1 as I was assembling it that made dropping in the dizzy that much easier

Re: Restoring Rusty
Nice job!
Craftsman isn't what it used to be...or maybe it is. I had a Craftsman electric impact that did it's job for a bunch of years. The ring that holds sockets on was always kind of a pita though and would stick one on or spit one off at random. When I was checking out junk at HF one day, I took a look at their impact and doggone it...except for the color it's exactly the same unit. So when the Craftsman crapped out, guess which one I bought?

Re: Restoring Rusty
You can say that again, the plastic handle on the new one feels like it will shatter at any time. I swore I would not buy Craftsman any more but I really had no place to turn but Sears, maybe Lowes I guess, but aint they all Chinese.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Nope, they had the smaller one for $29. They had a big "store redesign" sale or something going on. The store was a mess.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I have that same 20 year old craftsman, mine gave up the ghost a year or two ago. A friend fixed the ratchet but instead of spending the money to get it recalibrated I use it as a breaker bar now.
Nice work as usual, hope this fixed the problem and gets Rusty on the dyno. Did you cut the header flange on the driver's side? |
