  1. update; pulled the pistons now awaiting rings. bearings, and flex hone. ring was broken in #3. cylinder doesnt look awful. opinions?
  2. I need to find some new T/C rod bushings for my 510 and for the life of me I cant find them anywhere except on ebay from Mexico. I just need new bushings to last a few months in order to save up for techno toy rods. Are there other bushings I can use (strut rod bushings?) Just need a little guidance here. Thanks
  3. update. unbolted passenger motor mount had a buddy help support up top while I jacked up one side. wiggled the oil pan enough to get the filter bolts off then presto slid the oil pan right out. lowered back into position secured the mounts. now I have access to the rods/bearings. sounds kinda dumb, but it worked and nothing broke so I'm happy
  4. Where can I find a new oil slinger?
  5. Thanks guys. I will be taking off the egr Pipe. I will also be redoing the suspension while I have the cross member off. Cleaning things up and painting. I will keep it posted in progress
  6. Oil slinger ring! I threw that picture up so someone could identity the name for me. Thanks. Lol. All the freeze plugs are in it still not sure what to look for if it overheated?
  7. Thanks. I will be milling out a 1/8" plate to exact size and blocking it off, and plugging the exhaust hose. throwing a down draft weber on it I figured I dont need any of that emissions stuff.
  8. I am now in the process of fixing up a 68 wagon with an L16 block A87 open chamber head. I would replace the the L16 with an L20 if I could find one in the kalispell, MT area. it has been in a barn for the last 10 years. compression test showed; #1 100 #2 50 #3 55 #4 125 So time to bust into this. I don't have an engine jack so I am trying to do this all with the engine static. I have marked and removed the timing assembly. and removed the head. looks real nasty on top of the the #1 piston is gritty stuff that looks like cat litter. Anyways, next step is to remove the pistons and inspect the and measure the cylinders, hone(hopefully not have to bore), replace rings and bearings then go from there. one main issue holding me up though how should I support the block to remove the cross member to get under the pan? Thanks.
  9. sorry guys. fat fingered that one. Anyways this is what i am talking about .

    Emissions

    I have a 68 wagon with l16. Wondering of I would screw anything up by removing and sealing with a plate at the end of my intake manifold. And seek any other vacuum libes. Thanks.
