Even when You have the right size socket, the big nut on the oil-strainer
mostly is chisled so badly, that the only way is to put the nut in Your vice
in such a angle that You are able just to turn the sump a little bit to
start loosening the nut. Heat can help .
When the oil-strainer is removed, it is worthwhile to care about the
corosion-pinholes at the bottom of the sump. Two-component epoxy does the
trick, but only when absolutely clean and oilfree.
Merry Christmas to You all MMM-lers !

Thanks Bob and Lew and Brian and Bill......for your input. now to jump
around, do you guys leave that wire mesh on your sump oil pickup tube?
Mine seems in good shape and pretty clean. Too bad they didn't have a
socket
big enough to unscrew it.......someone used a chisle on it. It kinda looks
like an old rear axle bearing keeper.
Anyone got an extra oil dipstick for the 6 cylinder?
I'm jumping all around just to see whats missing before a major order goes
in
to Dowley.
Yesterday I ordered a ball hone from McMasters-Carr. They have a very slick
online catalog that makes ordering stuff real easy. I also ordered a long
25/64 drill because I need to helicoil the tapped holes
for the long cheese bolts.
Bob, the nose piece has the number "109" and the block is "579".....however
Pete was racing this combo and must have line bored it.......I've ordered a
crank and 6 pistons from Bayton-Jones.....so will have to have it done
again.
Cheers
Terry
