Re: Front End Alignment

Re: Spark Plug Adapter

Re: Valves/tappets rotate in operation?
if they don't spin its time to worry! also on some HD engines usually in trucks and boats and stationary power plants they have bearing plates under the exhaust valves and they spin too Those old 50s mercedes engines did not last very long. I used to work with a German guy on vintage Mercedes in Sea...

Re: Differential Removal
yes you can remove hub and drum together. if you do ever separate the drums and hubs do NOT mix them up. the drums are machined when mounted to their hub. also when re installing the differentials only use NOS gaskets. the aftermarket gaskets are not the correct thickness. they throw off the axle sh...

Re: Differential Removal
I have talked to Bob several times and agree that he has a great reputation. If I lived closer to Boston I would probably have him do it for me. M Series Rebuild is in my backyard and I trust Charles with the job as well. They also use an updated side thrust washer. they are are heavy! closer better.

Re: Differential Removal
I would have Bob Stahl rebuild them. he makes an improved side thrust washer that goes in all his rebuilds. I bet no one has rebuilt more of these diffs than Bob Stahls outfit. I'm guessing this is the place you are recommending? Veteran Vehicles in Wrentham, MA Yes that's them. prices very good too

Re: Guide reamers
reaming changes he size. Rearming enlarges and knurling shrinks the hole. if just cleaning them they make wire brushes for that purpose.

Re: Stovebolt T5 transmission swap?
thanks for the corrections.RCrombie wrote:T98 I think you meant. And yes it’s synchronized 2-3-4. The case that is used is a Canadian design but the innards are T98.
I recall the input shaft being different from othe T98 trans as well, but I think that’s one of the only things.

Re: Stovebolt T5 transmission swap?
I believe the Canadian acme is synchro 2 through 4. The acme is actually just a borg warner T18?

Re: Coarse Thread Replacement
fine thread is stronger and less likely to vibrate loose. coarse really only good in castings. i have found if it comes apart clean best to reuse originals or go grade 8. The thread fitment to the nuts on newer bolts is not as precise as the original. what ever you replace grade 5 is minimum

Re: Interest in centered rear axle housings
we would have one done and arrange the exchange. that way less down time for you.06boblee wrote:So, I would have to ship to you my rear axle assembly (or maybe just the housing) and then you go to work? Or do you have a supply of housings to modify, send it to me and I send my housing (core) to you?

Re: Interest in centered rear axle housings
another axle shaft possibility is we may have fine spline axles made and offer them for those running arb or other lockers where the side gears can be changed to fine spline in those carriers. that set up would cost a bit more but not much
