I completely mangled 3 already so Im going to have to pay rip off dealer prices to get replacements. I've got 3 left for the RH side. Can someone tell me how to do it, it's stupidly tight - I tried oil and assembly lube. I tried vice grips. I tried an M12 hex nut with an long M12 cap screw on...

I looked into it guys, the ever so popular GM EOS used in the machine shops for camshaft & lifter break in & assembly lube, hasn't been discontinued as far as I know - it's just re-branded under the ACDelco sticker now, but exact same product. Maybe someone can confirm. I can't remember where...

MITSUBOSHI This is the OEM for Nissan Maxima i'm pretty sure - may be the OEM for others too.

Anyone know what the approx. PSI operating pressure the AT Oil Cooler lines run at, to and from the radiator?

Beleive it or not there is no SAE spec on it. It says: ATLAS AUTO ACCESSORIES FUEL LINE HOSE 5/16" 2Q2008 And the injector hose says: ATLAS AUTO ACCESSORIES FUEL INJECTOR HOSE 5/16" DIN 73379 2A 2Q2007

No i'm confused Onion. The situation is: I have 2 trannies of the same model. My original Tranny I removed and i'm putting in a JY tranny. The cooling system for both trannies is just the OEM radiator, one hose feeds, the other hose returns back to the tranny. The original hoses were the wrong...

OK Thanks guys. It's a JY tranny that i'm only using for a yr until next summer when I overhaul my original tranny which is outside the car to do. So it should last a yr I would expect, then for my 'new' rebuilt tranny i'll get the proper hose next summer.

The guy at the PartSource (equivalent to Autozone type place in the US) told me that they sell the regular fuel line hose all the time for tranny oil hose. So he sold me a piece because they didn't have the SAEJ189 anymore. Is it safe to use this stuff? Note that this is not the injector hose...

As I go along with the assembly, it may sit for up to a week to 3 weeks, but it's getting cold at night here so I'm concerned about assembly - I better do it quick during the day maybe with some work lights on pointing at the stand? It's going to 10 C now at night. I'm running out of time in a way.

I don't get it, is the risk that air is in the pump and it actually won't suck oil when it starts up? Another guy told me to open up the pump and just soak it in heavy oil. Here's something too guys check this out. It looks pretty cheap - but I don't know if it could build enough pressure to...

Oh - I forgot to mention my machnist friend said not to even bother priming the engine - he said that's what the Lubriplate 105 lube is for, and that it only takes seconds for it to prime once it's in motion. With the Lubriplate 105 he says there will be no damage so ignore the priming. Any...

Thanks - and hopefully a makeshift solution, as I don't want to buy anything special for this since i'll probably never use it again. The pump is a Paraut #V4-034 It comes in a bag and is coated in some stinky yellow 'offshore' type grease, kind of like what comes on the machinist tools when...

Oh and another guy said don't use ANY form of grease on the sides of the lifters because the tiny oil hole will be blocked and the lifter will never pump up properly in the first 20 minutes at 2000 RPMs.

Thanks Quest - that's what I was thinking. I've been reading all sorts of things of guys having grease clog these passages and they said it ruined their overhaul - but my guess is they were using Moly grease or something. They never mentioned specifically Lubriplate 105 was used to cause the...

I can't use the drill method to turn the pump over...this pump doesn't have that function. Does anyone have any suggestions? Someone told me to maybe hook something up to the oil pressure switch hole or something and pump it from there. What is he talking about? I also have access to a 2nd...

From what I read alot of people use the Lubriplate 105 on the rod and main bearings, but they say don't use globs of it. The Lubriplate 105 feels very thin, plus once the oil starts circulating warm, wouldn't any of this thin white stuff just dissolve out of the oil gallery?

I have Lubriplate No. 105 white goop, and my overhaul book says to use it on: MAIN BEARINGS - LUBRIPLATE NO. 105 CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS - LUBRIPLATE NO. 105 BEARING JOURNALS - LUBRIPLATE NO. 105 ROCKER ARMS - LUBRIPLATE NO. 105 HYDRAULIC LIFTER BODY - LUBRIPLATE NO. 105 My only concern is, I...

Here's some other stuff I found on the internet: "I use 2-stroke oil on the cylinder bores and piston rings. (it's made for this!) I read in a rebuild book once, that you should DUNK the piston/rings in motor oil before installing it in the block. I tried that, and the engine had carbon in...

In my overhaul textbook it says to put MOLY on the new lifters on re-assembly. Are they talking about Lithium EP Moly Grease in the tube? Like the Walmart Supertech stuff? I've also seen a very expensive product from Jetlube called MOLY PASTE, it comes in a small anti-seize looking bottle.
