    New cylinders, cleanup on aisle 3

    I Used a putty knife, flathead screwdriver and any other type of chisel to lift the heavy grime off the surface and within the corners. Then I used 'Finish 1 - FT200'.  This was also called 'prepsol' in the early 70's and 80's.  Apply with a rag and dry before it dries on its own.  Be sure to...

    I recently replaced my vert's radiator support with the same one.  No modifications made.  I used a 240v spot welder from Harbor Freight.  They have a 120v, but it was not strong enough to penetrate the heavy steal at the lower supports. For the 240v source, plugged into the dryer plug in the...

    Oil Pan to Crossmember Clearance

    Thank you for the comments.  I will need to check the frame supports to see which one is on the Vert and whether or not they are damaged.  The Machine shop did not comment on what they may have found.

    Oil Pan to Crossmember Clearance

    When the engine was installed by the machine shop, two Prothane Motor mounts (6-503) were installed to replace the original worn ones from Ford.  According to the machine shop, the Prothane mounts have a slightly lower profile than the Ford originals due to the polyurethane material.  As a...
