    Crankshaft Question

    I understand what you are saying, but it doesn't change the statement you made that you believed lb7/lly cranks to be better because of [xyz] external forces being applied to them. That's all I was clarifying. I don't care what the OP said or what the other opinions stated were. That has nothing...

    Crankshaft Question

    This is incorrect too. The rods and pistons between the generations have different mass, in different areas, creating completely different dynamic forces on their respective crankshaft, hence why they have different counter weights and balancers and flywheels.

    Crankshaft Question

    Sorry Brad, I have to clarify something here: the question was "are lb7/lly cranks better than lbz/lmm cranks?" Your answer only references external forces on the crankshaft, not the integrity of the crankshaft itself. Is it better for the life of the crankshaft to have less rotating mass on...

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Figured you were putting that into some slick manifold you had made...otherwise we would have said something..our expectations at this point are pretty high! Even a lb7 manifold would work with some custom lines.

    LMM P0878

    The above posted chart is useful to get started, but you'll likely need to be comfortable ohming out circuits and checking for shorts with a multimeter to verify the problem. On another note, you said it is intermittent...does it do it when the trans is both cold and hot, or just one or the other?

    Trans build IMO getting hot.

    Your first post, you said that your ECT was around 190 running a longer distance (40 miles) than this last test (20 miles) which got you roughly 215 ECT and it was only 10deg warmer ambient temp. Something isn't adding up to me. In that short of a drive on flat ground, the TFT will not be...

    Check the actual reluctor wheel to gear alignment pin, that Pic is the cam gear to shaft alignment pin.

    Trans build IMO getting hot.

    Which converter is in it? IMHO, depending on the converter efficiency, your temps while towing loaded in the mtns is not really abnormal with higher line pressures. The 6sp cooler placement behind the bumper, regardless of which generation factory bumper is in front of it, flows air terribly...

    Mangled glow plug removal

    That's a doozey...if you can drill it a bit, and tig a stainless bolt inside it, you might have half a shot at it. That gen is tough sometimes because the threads are so deep. There's only a couple types of extractors that may work and not split the body apart worse, first being a straight...

    What kind of clutches?

    Luckily this guy is not looking for a comp type build though.

    What kind of clutches?

    I would just buy a kit from Evan. Inglewood Transmission/ Elevated Ingenuity. If they aren't in stock, wait a bit if you can. Not many people can match his pricing for what you get.

    Holy harmonic balancer Batman!

    The new style bolt (2011+) does not require the torque angle sequence, also I recommend using some moly lube on the faces of the washer with that bolt....or just buy the ARP bolt or Fluidampr bolt and diamond shim kit, and be done with it. Never replace the bolt again.

    Or just weld the socket to the pipe you're using.

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I have a full set of chromed LBZ lines actually, if you need them. I had them done about 8 years ago by the guy to who does a lot of work for Jay Lenno here in Holyoke, MA when I thought I was going to keep chasing horsepower and big events.

    LLY - Cracked piston

    McMaster had the tapered washers available, I have bags of them, the studs, and the nuts. I haven't had time to sit down a research them again. I threw the packing slip away years ago and my order history isn't saved that far back. I now get must of my custom hardware from Atlantic Fasteners...
