Are honing and polishing things I can do myself, or would I have to send off to a machine shop to have it done properly? If I can make this 318 road worthy without sending the block off to a shop and spending a lot of extra money I'll definitely do that.
Thank you!
My oil pressure usually sits around 40-45 while on the highway and 18-20 at idle. I've been running some Lucas oil additive products and it seems like the thicker product has raised the oil pressure. The last compression test I did was a while ago, but at the time all the cylinders were close to the same (if memory serves). I'll run another compression test to verify those numbers. I went out to check the rear gears just now and found out that the base police had towed my car for being an environmental hazard, so I'm working on getting my hands back on it. Should have it back by tomorrow morning.
Thanks, it's been quite the experience so far.
Thank you, it's cool to be a part of this community finally.
It's nice to meet you, I'm stationed up in twenty nine palms. I go through Pendleton every so often for training and events, I actually went to school there for almost a year back in 2021. Is Calvary Chapel near the base?
Thank you!
Okay cool, I used to go to a church in Escondido when I was on Pendleton. There's some very nice places down in that area
I appreciate it, I didn't expect so many replies regarding the military. It's awesome to see so much support for us, thank you
Appreciation and support for our military is the least we can do.
There are plenty of things you can do youself.
It makes a difference for us out here, we don't have a lot of interaction with the outside world in 29 palms
Hopefully I don't have to replace too many head gaskets. How would I know if the crank/pistons need to be replaced? Anything I should look for specifically?
I accidentally spilled transmission fluid when I was topping off the power steering pump yesterday, and I guess the environmental affairs agency thought it looked enough like an oil leak to get the police and a tow truck involved. $170 and a few hours later and I have the car back. I'm keeping a spill pan underneath it now to avoid any more surprises
You should ask them for the environmental study to show how many emissions the police car and tow truck contributed, and how much cleaner will the world be now that they have your $170.
