Re: S-Series Spot and Shot
Wow, I rarely see any on the road in general down here in PA.
On my trip to Jeffersonville IN I only saw 1 other S-Series on the highway. Quite disappointing.

Re: AC Clutch Never disengages

Re: Changing main bearings without engine removal
If the rod bearings look good, I would bet the mains look even better. Maybe replace the rod bearings and leave the mains, but if there is very little wear on the rod bearings I would be inclined to...

Re: Replaced Clutch and Hydralics Still Slipping
Make sure the input shaft seal is not leaking onto the clutch, because if it is you will encounter slippage. And to make it even better, the input shaft seal/bearing assembly is no longer available. ...

Re: Seeking a transmission recommendation.
This is not necessarily true, it depends on the hardness of the pin. Generally, the harder the metal, the more brittle it is. Nothing to do with whether or not it is a coil format.

Re: Seeking a transmission recommendation.
I will warn that the upgraded pin is not a definite solution, and the same goes for welding the diff pin.
I have blown a trans with a beefed up pin, it lasted maybe a few months of abuse on the...

Re: Mystery coolant loss. Head gasket?
The cap may be suspect, it is the cheapest part so I would replace with a good quality one. The purge line may be leaking at the fitting where it enters into the overflow tank.

If he buys a CNC machine and is looking for some revenue, I may have a few projects if he is interested. Mainly things like intake manifold flanges and maybe a few brackets/ plates.

I do not think that would cause an issue, and doing it on the GDI is a good idea. I have seen pictures of buildup on the intake valves and it sure gets nasty.

Sorry to see that piston is damaged, I am willing to bet that detonation/pre ignition due to fueling issues contributed to the piston breaking and the head gasket blowing out.
Now, what caused the...
