You want the valve to seat closer to the inside edge of the valve than closer to the outside area of the valve face. Too close to the outside surface of the valve face can create excessive heat to the thin edge of the valve face and that in turn could create a burn out.

After You lap them valves into the seats, slap the valve real hard into the seat, several times. Now look at the seat facing of the valve, IDK if lapping produces the same results as a fresh ground valve seat and valve but the fresh ground, without lapping will show a thin darkish line around...

I hole sawed some holes in the bottom before I started putting a lid on it. I have plenty of these so should exchange it out. 🤷😹

This dont slide around and keeps all the containers clean and dry.

I think our NAPA store might have it on the shelf. I’ll have to see next time i get in there, which is soon, my 1/2 gallon, or whatever size it is run out so I’ll be needing some before too long. I have a square cat litter bucket in the back of the truck with a gallon of engine oil and two of...

Welcome to thetruckstop smid-1. Nice looking truck. It appears You might need a step ladder when getting in and out of it though. 🤷🫣😹

Yup, I runnum both, except I been using the performance formula Stanadyne. Maybe next batch I’ll try the lubricity formula.

If I do greasable U-Joints, I’m be looking fir ones with the zerk in the trunion cap. I’m tired of trying to fanangle a needle point into them small unseeable spaces.

I always dump in some TC-W3 when I fuel my truck. For the DS electronical pump I try to get it to about an ounce to two gallons of fuel.

Mix in some TC-W3 two stroke oil too. A quart to five gallons probably wont hurt but others with more knowledge on DB-2 can probably give better guidance. 🤷😹

Not listed for 6.5 diesel.

I went back to the list of all items for sale and could not find them.

That nice intake manifold is back up for sale on that facebook group. IIRC Forsyth and surrounding area. They had dropped the price to $80.00 but then I had to take the one cat to the vet for the doctoring and that knocked the crap out of the spare funds I had so I notified them I’d have to...

How is the replacements held in without coming out once the engine is started, running and brought to operating temps ?

Didnt yet get them muktifunction and turn sig stalks ordered.

I’m wondering if THE GEP Optimizer blocks has a better reputation for rotating assembly balancing and crank bearing fitment, not selective fit bearings ? I also know the HP and Ft LBS of torque has increased. The GEP website lists the engine power ratings but it just tells those ratings with the...

I installed the Leroy sending unit into My 30 gallon tank. The needle does not bounce around like it did with the stock unit, and, with the stock sending unit when the needle got near that red zone at the bottom of the gauge, you best be setting at a gas station and it would take near the full...

One of those squarish metal one gallon paint thinner cans with one side cut out then crimp down the edges with a pair of pliers makes an excellent container for cleaning parts. I use mineral spirits/paint thinner for cleaning. Cleans quick and dries without an oily film.

Thank You. Saved Me a search. I’m needing to order multifunction switches and turn signal stalks for the 1988 Buick and the Royal 88 Oldsmobile. Somehow the woman has managed to bust them both. NO, SHE AINT GOING TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ! ! ! ! Oooops, sorry for shouting so loud. 😹😹😹

Rock auto always sends out them email news letters. Be nice if they’d list the new code with those.
