valve stems and autumn
strangely warm. went to parts store and got some rocker guard..satin black with primer sealer.
I don't think those cans do much... but then again. I cannot remember all 1500+ days of maine with this either.
I dare call it the the toughest vehicle I have ever known.
I scrubbed rockers and corners with some advice on the "paint prep can".... and gave some light coats.
this truck's engine does not even have a tick.
the high frequency of electrons moving... the tugboat SBC iron engine sound that keeps these famous...
and it does not even have the old dinosaur SBC plugs. It has been running the LS spark plugs for a couple of years.
It takes away from the idle a bit. this old 305 cares more about the throttle anyway.
the valve stems have slowed way down the small leak. Lo and behold my kumhos did the same thing.
several weeks to dial in.
that is good news. Did not want to mess with them.
there is two versions of valve stem for passenger
65, and 80 psi.
As it turns out my intuition was correct. if you have valve stems with metal showing.. those are most often 80.
I only refer to O'reillys part shelf for the answer.
o'reilly's also had an all metal version, 120psi. It is tempting.. but you have to tighten a nut. I don't trust that one.
since 2009 here, I have mentally rambled here at times at my keyboard..still 3 finger typing...
and wanted to share that I have an appeal meeting for the V.A. october 9th. I should be more enthused...as it has been 24 years line of duty disabled, without the actual formality that goes with it.
Regardless of the outcome (I am expected to be disappointed) I gave my effort.
I remember something I have said and it still stands:
"I do not mind being a curse."
not my problem . I am what they created..
got the 28mm socket on the way for the transfer case plugs..I am going for the latest version of transfer case fluid. it really is just a synthetic ATF.. but it is evolution.
