    pinion bearing preload

    yea, using gear marking compound. but i can't get the mesh pattern right without having crazy backlash. and once i got the back lash down to .009 the mesh pattern is way out, the ring gear is riding more towards the top of the pinon gear.

Did research on the web, found a site with a 8.8 rebuild right up. it says new bearings get 24-28 in/lbs, old bearings to 10-14 in/lbs, which seems backwards to me. Also says with ford gears you can reuse the stock pinon shim. Well pinon is meshing at the...

    cylinder head question

    I'm going to be cleaning my heads tommorow to get them ready to paint and bolt back up to the engine. I was planning on throwing them in the parts washer but was wondering if that would hurt the valve seals? If so how many seals are there and how hard are they to replace. I figure i might as...

    Pulled my intake and found this, black **** that smells like fuel and is very crumbly in your hand. only thing i can think is a headgasket leak and carbon is coming through where the head meets the block. it is coming out of three cylinders, two of them more than the third. car ran fine when it...

    Engine Cleaning Method

    I've heard of the GM top end cleaner. And i heard it was some badass stuff. But i thought it wasnt avaible to the public, just GM dealerships so techs could use it. I could be wrong though, was told it kicks seafoam in the nuts though.
