I have a set of BFG at's with .316" tread depth.

I have 1 maybe both. Will look tomorrow. Was just gonna throw them in the scrap metal bin. Butt I can see aside. Just can't hold for long.

My LCA's are solid, non adjustable. If you engineer it right, you don't need to adjust. I used RE superflex joints for my LCA's.

Good looking pattern. My experience has taught me a cool fact. In about 90% of the gear installs I've done. For some reason, the pattern almost always improved upon final assembly. oh, and rule of thumb regarding backlash. Move 1.5 x the shims of difference desired. if your BL is @ .009 and you...

there is an excel based 3 link and 4 link calculator out there. the 4 link calculator very specifically has a link calculator function that can let you compare tube size and different types of tubes from cold rolled to titanium. structurally as an example. I did the math for my internal cage...

I'd be happy to throw my .02 in. you could try pulling another 003 or less out. but its so close that it really won't make a difference. Try to look past the obvious pattern where you applied the marking compound and look around the ring gear 1 pinion rotation out where the compound is reapplied...

Ocasionally one comes up at auction. example, 2 fridays ago we had a 92' 4.0 go for around 800. Had texas plates. But it ran good. I did post it on the SocalXJ group. but I don't frequent NAXJA very often. Buyers only get an hour to look at the cars available. But I get to check the cars out all...

hehe... Me and John are talking bout the same shop... funny.

Just down the road is Grease Monkey Mobile. Mike knows his stuff. 949-812-9554 Shop is @ 2512 S. Santa Fe Vista CA

Grease monkey mobile. Mike Finch. We were just talking about a build that he is doing in his shop right now. He does the R&R of the motor. Then he does the tear-down of the block. Then he has Russ do the magic in his machine shop. Then Mike does the build. Long block cost is somewhere in the...

eflores, they aren't fawkups, I'm just not in the habit of telling people to push there junk past a safe threshold like you did. Sure you can push the timing to 18 and the turbo to 35-37. But I'm advising against it for the sake of reliability. I personally run 17º and I'm turning it back down...

couple things. set your timing to about 16º, get a 3k governor spring kit (if it doesn't allready have one), and put in a #10 fuel plate (if it doesn't allready have one). Also add a mystery switch to lock the TC. Also add a boost elbow and gauges. EGT, boost pressure and trans temp. Don't push...

..... I miss brewing....

After 4ish plus years of wheeling on 35"s with my yukon CrMo shafts, I finally broke my short side inner. http://vimeo.com/1427668 it broke at about 1:05 I'll still run Yukon's I'll still push Yukon's. The best way to make your shafts last. No matter what brand they are. Is to lighten the damn...

Na, its more than that. I hate wallfart. First off, there isn't one near me. 20 miles, so thats 3 gallons of diesel there and back. then I have to park in the back 40 because I drive a 20' long truck and the parking lot sucks. Then I have to walk in and out of families of 5, military wives with...
