I'm calling it now. Stray is going to pull a loose feeler gauge out of the valve train that's been causing all of the issues. He'll have...
I'm really glad I wandered out of the first gen boards for a minute... I am going to use a set of hooks instead of the small screwdrivers I've...
I suppose I should have asked before pulling the trigger on ebay. But I'll be flush on '86 oil pumps shortly, heh. So if anybody else needs one,...
Thankyou NB for the insight--and thanks for the clarification on what type of pump it is--"Trochoid Pump". I will look into those measurement...
I read this as I have 3 tabs open to Partzilla trying to cross-reference parts, hah. Since I have the motor out, I was curious about looking into...
Holding the linkage piece staring at and rolling my fingers through the needle bearings... I see your point about not bothering to powder coat it....
Come on now.. I've been pretty good about this! Okay fine, the fork seals are All Balls, but I've never had an issue with any of them I've put in....
I got everything pulled apart this weekend. Removing the frame from the engine was definitely the way to go--thanks for the suggestion. It was...
