  1. Happy anniversary, Brent. Are you dressed as well as Cooper?
  2. That's gonna be one short marriage. The game will be longer.
  3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER! Have some cake and Ice cream. Good boy.
  4. Never change a timing chain without changing both gears at the same time. Used gears will eat up a new chain.
  5. Yaaaaay. That worked! Nice blue.
  6. Who wouldn't buy a tool from a place called "mutualscrew.com" ??
  7. It's probably smoking because the rings are stuck from sitting so long. I would run it at about 1500 RPM rather than at idle for 10-15 minutes to help clean out the ring grooves and oil passages. A quart of Marvel Mystery oil would help. Watch the temperature closely, while its running and keep an ear on it for odd noises.
  8. The volume of fluid available to each piston, being separated, is about the same as the a single reservoir has for one piston. Disc calipers require less fluid to apply pressure than drum cylinders. Disc pistons do not pull back from the caliper like drum cylinders do because there are no springs pulling the piston back away from the pads. Piston movement in a disc cylinder can be measured in thousands of on inch, small enough that fluid doesn't really move, the pressure increases. Dual MC's use a spring between the primary, ( rear wheels), and secondary, ( front wheels), pistons . Pressure is applied to the rear wheels first, after a preset pedal pressure is reached, the spring between the pistons collapses and the front piston begins to apply pressure, Pedal travel includes the distance between the two pistons in the MC regardless of the distance between the shoes, pads and rotors and drums. Pedal travel should be about the same with a single or double reservoir if the MC bore diameter is the same.
  9. Worn piston and bore will allow the spring to push the needle out of the jet making a rich mixture. Check for a tight fit in the bore.
  10. I am using the TSC group 1. works great. Third one since August 1994.
  11. That's pretty good looking to me!
  12.    RB,  Even if you change the shoes instead of relining the ones you have, you shouldn't need to change the anchor bolt direction. The shoes are all made to the same specs, thus the mounting holes are all in the same place. There would be no need to re-center them on the backing plate.

       Unless, of course you a re a nit-picker, you will not notice the 1 or 2 thousandths difference.

       If you get crazy and ask for trouble, I have the Ammco 1725 tool that you can borrow to save your skin.

      That kind of advice is appreciated.

  13. Spread the clip ends, unhook the spring and pull the shoe off. Do not loosen the anchor bolts. They are eccentric and the major shoe adjustment you don't want to get into.
  14. You may have a leaking tappet cover gasket directly behind the pipe. If that much oil were in your exhaust, you would have a lot on blue smoke.
  15. Wow! Is that nice!
  16. I love your sentence structure.
  17. That's a pretty nice find. I love it.
  18. Very, very nice. Classy looking.
  19. If you mean ammeter, yes. Run a heavy wire, 10 or 8, from the output terminal of the alternator to the ammeter, and Atherton the battery terminal on the starter relay. If the meter reads backwards, just reverse the ammeter connections.
  20. Pictures that don't include Cooper don't count.
  21. Light yellow. With black pin stripes.
  22. Aye, you got a good pair there. Excellent find.
  23. I think I like the small caps and trim rings best, but any way you go, that's very sharp looking!
  24. Indian Head shellac.
  25. Niel Hoback
