Oops correction. Grade 8 flat washer against flywheel star washer, grade 8 bolt. Blue loctite, torqued to 60lbsTook it apart tonight will reassemble tomorrow when there is daylight with the blue locktight. Red is for things that will never come apart without heat,
When i assembled the flywheel/dampner spacer to the crank the original bolts looked tired and where grade 5 I purchased new grade 8 bolts. Issue I have is that I cannot get an inch and 3/8 bolts they are all inch and 1/4th or inch and a 1/2. I chose the inch and 1/2 rather than being short. I had to add a flat washer to make up for the extra length. So as assembled it is a star washer against the flywheel backed up with a flat washer then the bolt head. Torqued to 60lbs with locktight. Sound right?
Can I just eliminate the star washers and use only the grade 8 flat washer and lock-tight. Those star washers never feel right.
Just putting it back the way it was except I couldnt find the right length bolt hence the washer.flywheel bolts usually have a shoulder and a thin head....a regular may or may not have that feature. you should be able to get a bolt kit at any decent auto parts store or a good machine shop.
My two cents is to get the right stuff....that said, as long as what you want to do doesn't portrude out to interfere with the damper plate and the flywheel maintains center, it will likely work.
Yep They are scoping me with the Da Vinci robotic system. Ill be out of work for about 4 weeks.good job on your progress...i had a double repaired 7 years ago....make sure you are healed before exerting yourself....a work buddy (mid 30's kid) had to go back for not 'resting' and his recovery took a couple months the second time....one of the "scope methods" will get you back up faster too....if that's an option, do it...
Got one for you. Installing the crusader old style raw water thermostat housing looks like the current one still available however this style is not. the top two hose barbs/nipples directly over the plastic spring driven bypass one goes left the other goes right. they feed the cooling water to the exhaust elbow and out to sea. they are supposed to be 1-1/4 inch ID hoses. Put in my new hoses...they slid right in with no resistance. Tightened the hoses as tight as the clamps could go and I can still pull them off. Calipers measured them at 1.23 on the raised lip of the nipple and 1.22 along the run of the nipple. The old one that was removed measured 1.27 on the raised lip and 1.247 on the run....Glad things went well and you have the doc's release.....you plan sounds reasonable....just listen to your body and you should be fine...
Exactly...I would avoid the "southern engineering" unless you like the southern tow boat guy. sounds like a good way for hoses to come off at the most inopertune time, like a speed run home with weather brewing.
Found a new top half for the thermostat housing that uses the 1.25 inch hose and ordered it that way I wont be reducing hose sizes or using reducers down the line to make the other end of the 1.12 inch hose fit.I'll be the third vote for abstaining....the 1.125" ID hose is readily available.....may be worth a trial piece in PVC first - if you have to buy the full length...
Actually it can be purchased new from Basic Power Industries on the internet.Thank God for Ebay
Bummer...guess you didn't get it started at all then....??
Bearing probably frozen....not sure which pump you have but the last Sherwood pump I had apart had the same bearings in it as a delco 10SI alternator and they are pretty common...
Congrats! Now go out and enjoy her.
