    Small hobby shops, though some Ace and HL say they have them . The tubes are graduated and fit tightly with each other . I used round tubes to locate centers of a pumpkin's pinion and output shafts and install a similar but larger diff. Their fit is very tight...

    What is this thing called?

    I have used this rack (found in hobby and hardware stores) to fix many things. On a fix like that, I would consider drilling it out and glueing in a piece of hobby brass tube.

    Mild Overheating

    My Internationals seem to run warmer every year until I flush them. In a year's time, it will move a needle thickness. After flushing, the needle returns to the proper place and the process begins again.

    sealant on metal water pump gasket. copper coat spray?

    I like CC. In a seal like this, it is a good and uniform coating in a spot where extra sealant in the cooling system is not preferred. The pump showed with a double layer tin gasket with what they called a rubberized finish. It looked more like paint. The block cleaned up with no pitting...

    sealant on metal water pump gasket. copper coat spray?

    You used that in place of gaskets? Toyota calls it "rubber" coating. I will go with it as I have gotten into binds by trying to out engineer the factory practices. *Depending on the engine surface

    Why the obsession with electric fans?

    Yeah. pretty much. So, should I watch the tach needle or focus on the shift idiot light? Look at an oil pressure gauge and if it's reading zero, the damage is done. Going down the Interstate, if you look at your gauges every few minutes, YOU'RE likely to discover an overheating problem in...

    Why the obsession with electric fans?

    Didn't have the advantage of your expert help. I mostly watch the road, not my gauges, and it doesn't take long for a car to overheat. If it will make you happy, I'll disconnect the switch that cuts spark if I lose oil pressure and start watching my gauge instead. Okay?

    Why the obsession with electric fans?

    I just parted and sold the carcass of a car for overheating problems. I put a physically larger motor in it so there was no room for a mechanical fan. It ran great for 3,000 miles and the electric fan lost its connection. Fought the overheating that followed and threw parts at it until I got...
