Hi guys. So I am workng on a block tht never fails to dissapoint me. I just trashed a hgasket because on the first sequence of torgue down I stripped out my 2nd bolt hole- when pulling the head back up it disintegrated due to the sealer I put down (some thin copper color brush on stuff) 1. How many of you guys use sealer? 2. what has the oil passage o- ring commonly looked like in your hg kits? The kit I initially purchased came w/ an assortment of rings, none of which seemed to jump out at me as being the right one- When I went to dealer for o-ring, they gave some kinda nitrile coated ring w/ a crush washer in it. It does not fit into the after market hgasket- which had a copper ring already fastened on the hg on the puch out for the oil passage. I am starting to think that this kinda gasket is supposed to have its own crush washer - have you guys seen this before? The replacement aftermarket hg I picked up at the local action auto- the one they gave me only has a straight punch out where the oil passage reisdes- again too small for the dealer or-ring. Can I substitute any proper sized oil resistant o-ring? As usual, Im long winded. If you got this far thanks- I would really like to put this thing together once and rightly. Yes, I know Im inviting trouble w/ aftermarket hgaskets.

if you locate TDC 1, the left (passenger) cam timing mark should sit at right between 10 and 11 o'clock (i guess that makes it 10:30, eh?) - the right should be in the exact opposite corner, between 4 and 5 o'clock. It's not the way they have in to books to go by but I managed to do it once like that...

if Im not out playing grizzly adams I'll be up for hanging out- I guess that means that if'n were in town I could put you guys up for a night if you know how to use the big potty

ROCKS!!!!! Completely redefines what should be thought as far as the capabilities of a Soob- and proves the meddle of those that went. Choc full of beautiful but dangerous terrain unlike any here in Washington and in such a grand scale... Plenty of carnage of the driveline persuasion- remedied with in the field weld repairs by the hands of John (Mudrat) and resourceful collective mcGuyvering- You get a sense that this group did nothing but support each other and itself 100+% in the face of some troubles that many would take their ball and go home of they ran into- Get you behind in the beeline for a copy of this soobifishizzle, these guys know how to woop a hoopdie up a trail!!!!

This is caleb. Andy from spokane left you guys some things for me- wondering if it would be okay to swing out and pick them up today- let me know thx

can you shim the pinch open w/ a cold chisel? think that is what I did w/ a good bit of juice.. and wiggling

Hi Ed The parts are in Moxee at Pats from what I understand- For some reason form our conversation last weekend was thinking you were heading by there.. I confuse easily though

Hello Archemetis- right now I have in 140/155 main jets and 165/175 for air correctors but have not really gotten into dialing it in- the carby is from a ford cortina (Aussie) I will have to look to see what it had in it initially-

Looking to make arrangements to pick up the stuff that Andy (Baccaruda) left for me down there- My regular wheels are back in commission and I have the weekend free- I suppose I need some directions/phone # and wanna know if there is a good time to come out there and get this stuff (rims+diff guts) Ed if you are out that way and have room, can youpick this stuff up for me? We had talked a bit about it when you were over- looks like someone else is asking you to carry a hood though... My email is belac9:nospam: @yahoo.com Thanks guys

hats off to you all-- those that remain unimpressed carry no pulse. Very happy our community could be repped by you guyses determination and skill.

Mr Mick- when and if you di tear into that weber- and if you remember this- would you mind posting your jet sizes for my and everyone's reference? It would be cool to get some sorta database goin like the thread we had started ages past on webers

Mike W (hatchpatroler) straight welded one off a SUV onto his hatch... maybe not as slick up close looking as that but much burlier- Mike you out there?

Way to go man- I like it alot! Turn signals are interesting- I have been toying w/ the idea of putting one of these guys together but always seem to have a full plate- very interested in how you hooked it in- is it mounted via the bumper mount bolt holes, er anywhere else?? an idea would be a bumper w/ mounts that go in and actually serves as part of the lift blocks for the engine crossmember.. Mr Whitrock and Mt Chrysler both I think made that point to me... anyhows, good job!

(should have been clearer) the head bolt threads in the block.

12mmx1.25? 1.5? did the search (first archival dig of mine on the new board) found a thread.. yet only stayed confused. Thanks guys Caleb (the soobie nerd formally known as Subrina7)
