I bought an aluminum bellhousing for my 3-rail transmission with j-type OD. It had a rubber press in seal for the input shaft. I ordered the only seal available for the bellhouse/ inputshaft I found

I sprayed the aluminum bellhousing down with easy off oven cleaner. I got the tip from the Spitfire Mag Page. It left the bell with a gray color. Cleaning up with a wire wheel left the damn thing two

The active ingredient in Easy Off is lye. It removed what was left of the anodizing and/or paint. What was left after hosing it down was some powdery/grainy residue in the angles and crevises. A wir

I could probably find a seal to fit the aluminum bellhousing as it was originally set up, but I changed the insert instead. Now I can use the seal I have and it is available from the usual suspects.

When the farmer, good guy, began moving his combines and other heavy equipment into the shed, I had a plea posted. I think I can get a shed of my own started next week. Only 30'X40' but that's OK. ht

That's pretty emphatic, for comparing one years murders stats, 2002 even, to all coalition forces killed in Iraq since the beginning. The military forces are all voluntary. You know ahead of time you

I ordered four 16 mm airhorns and ARP flywheel bolts for my 1973 Spitfire. The '73 was a transition year. It had the 1500 motor and the big clutch, but it had 3/8 flywheel bolts. The flywheel bolts s

Sometimes the most simple ideas are allusive. I can see an O-ring between the aux vent and the filter backing plate now. I don't like gaps and spring tension sucks. Larry
