took the valve covers off and the oil is draining back. How is the block normally vented? I do not see anything.
I found another inspection cover, for the fly wheel. There is oil dripping off the inner edge of the fly wheel, closest to the block. That must...
I use 10w30, I said 5w30 in previous post by mistake (snowblower uses 5w30). This oil is formulated for older engines, or so they say. I did...
donut29, if they didnt i'm guessing the motor needs to be pulled to fix the leak?
Took some pictures. It drips from four places I can see, the bottom of the bellhouse closest to the motor, the bottom of the starter, where the...
I have owned the car the last 750 miles. No motor work that I have done, just oil change to Brad Penn 10w30 semi synthetic. I don't know what oil...
To get to that I have to take off the trans, flywheel and clutch right? Can I leave the motor in? Ironically I drove it a few minutes ago and now...
I have a leak that looks like its coming from the rear of the oil pan. My uncle in law, the builder of the car, said he tried to fix the leak but...
Yes. I just adjusted it and went on a drive. WOW I cannot believe I have been driving it like that since I got it (750 miles) It is 1000% better,...
measured from the face of the clutch pedal it travels 2 inches before the slack comes out of the fork. How do I adjust it?
Yes it has enough throw/play to disengage. The linkage that sticks out the bellhouse and connects to the slave cylinder has 1/4" of play before...
6bt, please see the attached picture. When not pressing the clutch the shaft going into the clutch housing is loose and not under any tension. Is...
I have a ford transmission, 4 speed manual, 4th seems more like an overdrive, not sure what it is out of. I found the following markings, hard to...
Well its been a few days and I have driven about 30 miles and I only have a slight dampness, no drops of oil. I'm considering this one fixed for...
I did notice a grove on the yoke... depending on how much oil I find on the ground tomorrow I will have to look into a new yoke. Hopefully I...
When you say flange do you mean the yoke or the pinion carrier? I did notice an imperfection on the pinion carrier where the metal portion of the...
Got it back together and it drives great. Still leaks but I dont think as bad, will be able to gauge better tomorrow morning depending on how many...
The chicago rawhide seal came today so I put everything together. I only got 5 inch pounds of preload on the pinion bearings. From what I have...
Thanks for all of the help everyone. I will pick up a Benda seal from Ford and keep the other as a spare. I will follow up once I get her back...
I have the pinion out and apart. Bearings look and feel good. Turns out I have a Ratech crush sleeve eliminator. Anyone use this? I read that you...
Found where to buy a new nut so I will go that route. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Pinion-Nut-for-9-Inch-Ford,3779.html I will pull the pinion...
Ok, got it. So I can install the pinion seal and torque the yoke down to 175 ft lbs in the vice, then install the assembly with yoke attached?...
squirrel, If I unbolt the pinon retainer (page 10) will that whole assembly come out? is the crush washer the 'pinon bearing spacer' on page 10?...
