I got this flame weeder back in 2016, longer handle than the one you linked. Back then it was only $57, damn inflation

I just found this on propagating hazelnuts

It looks like freezing them maybe wasn't the best route as the file suggests the fridge. How were the nuts stored in the freezer? If just in a bag the freezer...
I was going to guess it was on the output shaft. I mentioned it in another thread but there's an upgrade from that c-clip/ snap ring that I elected to install when I did my case. It replaces that clip with a heavier duty snap ring. Probably not necessary for your use, but seems like a good piece...
@Big T will you include the GMT800 axle swap in this thread or elsewhere? Don't want to clutter up your thread, but would definitely like to see the process and small details of that swap too
Very nice! I missed the original thread, sounds like you have it all under control. Did you modify the axle yourself? Is the yoke on the 800 plug and play with the 400 driveshaft?
Sure thing, let us know what you come up with for inserts. It's been covered in other posts on here, but I'll reiterate that some of the best insurance you can have for the bottom end is get the whole rotating assembly balanced. Relatively inexpensive and a good time to do it now with your...
See post #8, apparently GM couldn't be bothered to change the caps to match stud size

I'm sorry I can't speak to the details of the 4L80E. Here's a link to two gaskets offered by Torque King. I've used the wider one to seal the case to the manual trans. The other extension housing gasket pictured may be applicable to your situation. Give Torque King a call, they are very...
all the times I've had to remove/ install it's been just bench press and congratulate oneself afterwards in lieu of having an audience 🤣
you might be able to use a trans jack to elevate it some, but it has to go up somewhat sideways to clear the torsion bar xmember before you can rotate it for...
Not sure how much one could recoup by selling the boat specific hardware, and the IPs would need adjustment for truck use, but may be a good deal for an engine...
It's best practice to replace water pump and all rollers and tensioner when doing the timing belt too. Classic "do it while you're already there" kind of job. And definitely get the timing belt done ASAP if last change is unknown, they are interference engines and if the belt goes or slips...
I can't remember the year of the OP's block, but 92-96 should have 3/8 NPT threads in the block and 97+ should have 1/2" NPT. Never seen any other fitting in a block for the oil cooler ports.
The stock oil cooler is some strange kind of metric straight thread ORB (O- Ring Boss). Easiest thing...
leave the seller a bad review with pictures. I did that once and was messaged by the seller offering to compensate me financially if I changed my bad review.
I think some of the Dodge NP241s had different internals, so you may have been sent a mislabeled kit which may explain the extra bearings...
As we say of minor imperfections in the construction trade, can't see it from my house! Looks great as always 🤘
Did you paint the individual springs, or just the sides and top/ bottom/ exposed parts of the assembly? Thought I read somewhere that it's not actually good/ proper to paint each...
I use a few of these heat mats in my greenhouse. I put them on scrap pieces of rigid foam insulation and cover the seedling trays with either the clear humidity domes or floating row cover (Agribon)

Jeez sorry to hear all the seals were incorrect, what a mess. X2 on cleaning it up and sending back for the right parts.
I recommend Pertmatex Optimum Black for sealing the case halves. Have it on my case, rear diff cover and PTO cover plates, no issues to date
I also have a bushing/ race...
Glad you're sticking with the project. I was curious as to what the cost of re- doing the heads was going to be vs. getting a new set of good heads and starting over there. All that extra work and tools seemed like a lot of effort. You'll like the P400 heads for sure, and definitely get the rest...
