Re: Camshaft movement- tolerance question

I don't know if the movement is in the shell, because as stated, only the timing cover has been removed.

Re: 2019 MTFCA National Tour, Cookville TN
Ricky and I, and others in our club, know how much time and effort that George has put into planning the routes and stops for the tour. Our club ran the routes early last Spring before the leaves sprouted and we all agree that this is a great tour for folks who like to drive their T on scenic back r...

Re: Gear Oil Gasket Maker vs Cold Temps
According to the pkg, this sealant is designed to be used in a "gear oil" situation. Gear oil tends to break down RTV and the gear oil is to be used where gear oil is present. This document tells it all. With RTV I had a pretty good seal with slight leakage. With Gear Oil Gasket Maker I have had zer...

Re: Two difficult bolts
Here is a tool that I made for doing the same thing. Really works good. 1. Line the holes up. 2. Slide the both up through from under the frame rail. 3. Hold the bolt in place with the square rod. 4. Get the nut started and tightened to your specs. 5. Insert cotter key/pin. 6. Insert the wood block....

Re: Anyone on here who was on the first Forum?
My first T (a TT) came along in '97. My son and I looked online for info, but all we could find was phone numbers for Snyder's & Lang's. They were lot's of help. We had no idea what we were doing and they helped a lot. A mighty good guy named Gator Gould from L.A. (Lower Alabama) helped us too. I th...

This is the cat's MEOW! Keith Barrier put us guys in the Magneto University on to it. Great tool- and hard to find anything to do the job of removing the flywheel bolts any better. It's a Blackhawk 4422

Re: Secret to successful PM's?
OK. It seems that my message to John stayed in my OUTBOX until he opened the msg this evening. I like that- it lets me know that he had at least opened it. Now that he has replied to my msg it is no longer in the OUTBOX- they are in the SENT folder. I am still trying to find the "option to get an em...

Secret to successful PM's?
This morning I sent 2 PM's to a friend, as a test. Requested he reply if my efforts were successful. The reply never came. Tonight I called him to check status and he never received the PM.
So, I checked my profile, and heck, my 2 msgs are in my OUTBOX.. What did I do wrong so it cam be corrected?

Re: What Would You Like to See the Vendors Offer
I would like someone to somehow adapt a modern lip type seal to a babbitted 4th main. With .004 - .006" clearance between the ball cap and the tail shaft, lots of oil makes its way to the u-joint area, thus diluting the grease and dripping globs onto the road.

Re: My first T
My first one. I purchased it in March, 1997.
What a fun old truck.
It didn't come with a top, instead the previous owner attached a big umbrella.

BE_ZERO_BE......If it would be as easy as deleting and starting over, I would. It may be me, but I have been unable to find a DELETE button, as stated in my original post. If you know how to delete, please fill me in.

Re: edit USER NAME? Can it be done?
I simply want to edit my user name to reflect my real name that people know me by, rather than have a fictitious code name. I notice that there are many users on this new forum where posters are using their real name rather that a code name. How did they know how to do it?

Re: edit USER NAME? Can it be done?
Dan- I did as you instructed. At no time was a field available that would allow an edit of my USER NAME. Email address, yes. But not on USER NAME. What did I do wrong?

edit USER NAME? Can it be done?
I want to change my USER NAME, which is currently "6volt". I cannot find a way to edit it. Another way is to DELETE the user, and re-register- but no way to do that either. Any ideas?
