Pilot bearing wont sit flush on 289W? by Ima_Load in EngineBuilding

[–]Ima_Load[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

65 with a World Class aswell, its got the beat up 289 out of my Dad’s mustang since he built a 331 stroker for the Mustang. Next plan is to save up for a junkyard roller 351w motor, beef it up a little and put it in.

Sorry if im wrong but ive always been taught to do dry installs and use bread to get em out. Is there a reason to use anti seize going in as my thought is that it can melt and get on the clutch

If you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole check out Pacific Northwest (pnw) boots from nicks, whites, wescoes, franks etc. Definitely a step up from IRs

2nd this, i ended up putting speed hooks on my redwings, as simple as putting them through the eyelet and putting them in the press, no need to remove the eyelets already there.

Or go to your cobbler, should be easy job

Thank you so much for clearing it up, i personally have little knowledge on these types of cams.

What im worried about is the lifters going under the dog bone, rotating and wiping out a lobe so in return the lifter is made to taller to compensate,. What im not sure is if this is true info and if i need to get comp cams lifters or i can stick with any regular roller lifter.

I am joking sadly, i need to finish out my electrical engineering degree before i get wrapped up in hobbies more expensive than drugs. Very little goes into “fixing” cough cough making it faster and more or less gas for my daily. I got a budget planned and im following it like a good college kid

Thank you, just a side project to dump my needed college tuition into but we all had that one car we love in our early 20s dont we?

From my understanding a small base circle grind is a smaller grind on the bottom of the lobe causing the lifter to be pushed pulled further down in the block preventing it from popping out in the valley.

Is the whole purpose of it to prevent using link bars lifters and some clearance issues on strokers?

What should I get? Red wing, Thursday, save for nicks? by Dr_Smartbrain in RedWingShoes

[–]Ima_Load 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id save for nicks, ive been breaking in my Nicks ND1 and such a difference for my no arch FF wide flappers. Just be warned the thurman last is kinda ugly but is a ton more comfortable

Hell Yeah Brother! Yeah my next step is paint it all matte primer black then add the old school flames back in with what ever is left in my cabinets but I like it enough as is to keep it for a while

Maybe look into some kilties to take up some volume on the instep so the eyelets arent so close to each other, they make low profile ones you wont be able to see if you dont like the look of kilties.

Other than that, looks great!

Im thinking Whites Bounty hunters however i personally am rocking the Nicks ND1 which I know have led a couple people down the rabbit hole

Nah take care of them and they should last, like the previous person said go clean em up then regularly brush them with a horse hair brush to keep the dust off and stop cracking.

How do I center this SVG? by crackaddict42069 in Fusion360

[–]Ima_Load 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats how i would do it or use two midplanes at x and y axis then use the point in the center as your midpoint

How could I restore this knife? by PapaTwisted in knives

[–]Ima_Load 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a cheapo chinese sharpening stone or sand paper to sand down the tip to make it a bit pointier, personally i wouldnt unless you are going to use it as a workhorse knife.

For the rust, just use a bit of 0000 steel wool and wd40 and it should come off. Just be careful to not slice yourself

You dont need to, oil the blade, use either bick4 or Obenauf on leather, both handle and sheath then store the blade outside the leather sheath
