Sleeve retainer 640 for injector cups
Napa doesn't carry the 640 anymore. I cant find any 272.. but I did find the permatex 27200. So that's what I'll use. Any objections? It seems permatex has purchased loctite? Also, I had one cup stick to an injector. I recovered it. It seems people say to replace that cup. If I get it clean, Is... -

Sleeve retainer 640 for injector cups
Yeah I knew you had used it by some of your other posts I'd seen. I was going to PM you but since you're here, which brand did you use? Loctite or Permatex? Seems Loctite stuff is harder to find local then a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. -

Sleeve retainer 640 for injector cups
As I mentioned in a previous post, the Merchant kit comes with loctite 271 which seemingly no one is a fan of. I wondered if there were any yays or nays on the green sleeve retainer #640. I can't seem to locate any 272 and it seems many are a fan of the sleeve retainer formula. All advice is... -

One would think.. esp since you have to pull the bracket bolt to get the manifolds off anyhow.. Just give it a yank right.. lol.. Nah as easy as i thought. That dude is in there.. It's cool I got a plan. -

No, the exh manifold is off still. I've already put the head back on.. however I did not place the exh manifold gasket on the head before torquing it. Now the oil dip stick tube is in the way. I can either pull the two exh manifold studs, or the tube to put the gasket on. Think I'm opting for... -

Valve Lash Adjustment
I cleaned it as well as possible with the head still off.. cant say it was a 12 ga brush, maybe more like large rifle. But I did hook it to the drill and give it a whaller. Of course I just found my fatal mistake.. I didn't put the exh man gasket on before i bolted the head down.. Now i have to... -

Valve Lash Adjustment
Well I know that the 271 is basically OE type stuff. The 272 Is kinda to be a biotch to find local though. I've even heard of guys using the green "sleeve retainer" stuff. Just not sure what's best.. I sure don't want to have to do it again. It seems the actual culprit was a lifted cup, not the... -

Ok. That makes a little more sense then just to watch if they move or not. I guess my main issue is I still have the driver side head off and am adjusting the passenger side only.. I'll wait until the new head comes in from DHD and do them all at the same time I guess.. -

Valve Lash Adjustment
Can someone clarify some things for me? I'm using the instructions provided by Merchant. When I align the mark on the balancer, #4 is always at tdc, as well as #1. If the #1 rockers don't move the last 90deg, then #1 is at TDC... but they never move for the last 90deg.. Are there two marks or am... -

Head/Intake Manifold Question
Sweet. That's done and torqued. Seems I remember on the driver's side you have to put the back two bolts in before dropping the head on. Is it the same on the passenger's? Also, Is it better to place the alignment dowels on the block side to hold the gasket or the head side? Thanks! -

Head/Intake Manifold Question
Just took my heads to the shop to get resurfaced. They took the intakes off. Underneath, not part of the intake, are two threaded holes. I don't have any hardware for them, and they are dusty looking like they've never been used. Are there supposed to be any bolts there? Want to be certain... -

Lifting Off Cab
I've seen a video and write up of this somewhere. Sure wish i could remember where. I have a technician at my dealership looking to do the same thing. No, he doesnt NEED the video. Sure would be nice to pace through it once before he lifts it tho. If anyone sees it post it up please.- SAVAGE77
