Facebook marketplace has become very popular. My wife does the marketplace stuff for me

I expect it will be a larger event than normal

Yes, that is my understanding. The heads I have seen done are stripped clean of all the valve train and dressed on both sides. you end up with two flat perfectly true and parallel sides. Otherwise you add distortion to the cam. Also I haven't ever seen a milling machine that could mount a head with the valve train installed or a situation where you would want all the milling chips strewn throughout the valve train. I might be mistaken on this but this is how I believe it is done.

I believe, that most of the machine shops I know of true both sides of the head when they flatten them. So that the towers are straight and true

That's great progress!

They are evidently available in the US at the Tire Rack. I don't know if the specific size is available though

No Goodyears in that size or Yokohama's

I have been looking for 14" tires lately. I am planning on trying a 225/60R14. I ran Eagle GT's in that size in high school with out too many dramas. That way I can use the 14" wheels I've got but so far the only tire I've found is a BFGoodrich tire or a Coker that is basically the same tire. Anyone know of another brand available?

Only made for 9 months If I did my math right, it's the second shortest on the list. Right behind the E4601 Would be interesting to know the curves on each of those dizzys

There are about 300 Vidmar cabinets up for auction here. If anyone is interested https://bid.yellowtagauctions.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi

Yes, press one side clear, remove the ca. Then the other side should tilt some more and be clear or the cap can come off. Then it will come out of the yoke.

There are a number of cars that come through Copart as "normal wear". I think people use it for it's national exposure to dealers. Do a search one day for 1920-1970 cars and look at all the nice hot rods that show up

You probably can't fabricate a quality replacement for a lot less than $100 and 4 or 5 hours of time. The $50 difference seems to be a deal, considering

Is that car from someone from the site? It looks like someones avatar picture

Those are very clean. Could some small manifold leaks do that?

VIN number is 202,611 Doesn't appear damaged. Has the weights bolted under the differential https://www.copart.com/lot/41719969

I think Z therapy has them

I would not beat on it! Slide hammer from the outside but better done while on the car or set it up in a hydraulic press and push it out. Press is my preferred choice

I know this is used sometimes in water jackets and in oil lines sometimes but I don't know enough to speak to when to do it and why.

I like to solder connections when ever possible. Especially some where , like there, under the fusible links

Sometimes people will block holes like that to change or restrict water flow. Could have been flush plugged or sometimes they will flush plug them and then drill a hole for lower flow. Just a guess...

I'm no "sparky" but voltage and current are different. You could run 110volts through a module at very low amperage and good things wouldn't happen

Isn't it possible to put the rear case on but not in the neutral position? I believe that locks up the transmission some how. It's a foggy memory...

I would start it from the left side. Lay the back edge on a block of wood and tap it in. Add a little oil to help. Shouldn't need much encouragement
