I will measure my hood springs tomorrow and post.
I had no idea how important this large piece of plastic is. My temp shot up within minutes after removing it. Reinstalled the shroud and all was well. My issue was a top radiator hose that would...
Car seems to be running well after all of that work and about 2000 miles. My sunpro gauge measuring the water temp was out of wack. I put in a new water temp gauge and that reads 190 degrees even at...
I pulled the motor again and started over. Pulled all of the main bearings and rod bearings. Cleaned them again but with paper towers instead of red shop rags. I noticed red lint in the bearings. I...
Pulled the motor again and starting over........More to come.........
Just got back from vacation so I'm back on the Oil pressure issue again..........
I'll pull the filter.
I would think I would get some pressure though.....
When you say pull the oil filter, what would I look for? Timing cover is something I should check before I take it to a shop.
And thank for...
I think I really messed up. I pulled the motor and replaced all gaskets and seals. Put the motor back in and tried to prime the oil pump and now I have no oil pressure. I used vaseline too to pack...
I'll check. Thanks.
On my bearings, the don't cover the entire concave of the rod cap. On long edge fits right fluch with the cap while the other nearing edge is a bit indented on the rod. Does the top Rod Bearing...
Thanks. Working on it now.
Machine shop here I come.
I just may have to take the motor to a machine shop because if I screw this up then I have wasted all this time for nothing. This is the first time I have done anything internal to the motor so I...
Nope, no number stamps. Thanks for the response.
If I look at the bearings, do the tangs on the rods line up as they are a bit offset.
I am replacing all seals and gaskets in my GS 400 and being new to anything to do with motors, I did not keep my rod caps in sequence when I removed them (stupid I know) to take the crank out to...

Anyone know if any other year Buick tach will fit in the center console of my 67 GS. It's an automatic transmission and I really don't need it but I hate that it doesn't work. Too costly to fix....
I have to have music. I still have my original AM Sonomatic and it works but I never use it. I haven't listened to broadcast radio is over 6 years. Now it is all just SIRIUS. Well worth the...
Last March 2010, I put in a sub-woofer with a 1000 watt amp and tied it directly to the battery. Went out for 2 hours riding around working out the bass (mostly Van Halen) and on my last stop of the...
inquire what kind of mileage should I get on my 67 GS 400? Currently I get 8 MPG. I think I should get 14 to 16. I put in a pertronix ignitor system with their suggested coil along with E3 spark...
Just capture and dispose of the old anti-freeze at a recycling facility.
I did pull the motor. Actually, not too bad but with just me, it is taking time. Finally got the gasket set and intake manifold gasket. I was surprised that the intake gasket is metal.
Anyway,...
The problem with the ALT was the new wiring harness from Year One had the 2 wires on the ALT plug reversed.
I swapped them around and the charging problem was gone.
My wipers are still...
