Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
That's a tough one. You have to PROVE it was needed at the shop without engine/trans for the repair to be done. Talk to the shop, creativity is your best friend.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Went to the body shop yesterday, one side is done and the other side is being worked on. We should have it easily done before Christmas.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Thanksgiving day and after our meal with the extended family (26 I think) it will be a nice quiet day in the shop without interruptions.
It didn't happen. Last edited by Larry Hill; 11-24-2022 at 10:19 PM. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Setting coil bind clearance on 392 DP engine.
Check PAC spring height gage for zero. Check height add .103” retainer adapter. Subtract cup and spring shims from gross number to arrive at installed height. Subtract valve lift from installed height to get open spring height. Measure spring height at coil bind subtract open spring height and the result is clearance or interference at maximum lift. Adjust accordingly to get the number you want. The Pac mic is the best I have ever used for accuracy and repeatability. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
