    I'm seeing a bit of rust towards the bottom of my frame.

    I second the por15 that stuff is rock hard and actually converts rust. Just get off the loose scale first. Amazing stuff its what most serious car restoration people use.

    Welding Table 95% Done

    Nice table. Not overkill though. A welding table should be beefy. Needs to hold up to heat and pressure when needed. Mine has a piece of 3/4" cast iron as the top and I wish it was thicker. I've been hoping to stumble over a piece of thick plate cheap. Thats an expensive piece of steel. Shaun

    Ultrasonice cleaners....what one to get?

    Actually before buying my ultrasonic I did alot of reading on boiling and ultrasonics and found some interesting information. The term boiling (from what I found) was used for just using carb cleaner and dipping your carbs. The term seems to have been taken more literally and people...

    stripped thread.... inserts ?

    Hey Drifter you still have a pitch its just not measured over an inch like in standarc or inch threads. You could do it a couple ways. Helicoil (might depend on how much meat you have as you will be drilling it up in size first then tapping and inserting the heli coil) You could just go up a...

    Multiplaz cutter/welder

    I would stay away from those personally. Those all in ones are usually to good to be true. Unless you found something that came from a reputible company I would stay away. Not to mention its new technology. Until that technology hits the mainstream (if its really what it says it is) its a...

    Mine aren't worn past the point of an oversize. But I do need to oversize. I'm refreshing my engine, full rebuild. It was seized just from sitting. Bore is fine but piston rings were seized beyond belief. I used ultra sonic and kerosene nothing will free them up. Doesn’t matter anyways...

    Wiseco will make pistons to order

    problem with another company doing it is they will mark up double. atleast if a group of people got together it would be minimal markup. Mabey just the person who handles the money and ordering for the trouble. I think I might send off an order form and get a quote see what the price is then...

    Wiseco will make pistons to order

    Hi all thought I'd drop a note on here and ask a question regarding pistons. I like most of you have spent a long time looking around for oversized pistons and rings. Sure you can get them but they are costly when you compare them to the price of other rebuild kits for more common machines. I...
