Re: Oil drain plug gasket

I attached a picture. Look at right side centered between two spot welds. That is a divot. Under divot is a square notch in the threads to allow every last drop of oil to drain.

Re: 3D printed Synchros?

The place i found was in india. I sent them a used sample. The cost per synchro was very reasonable but you had to order several hundred to make it worth it to them. Something like 900 bucks worth of them.

Re: JET - 2-way filter/valve??

It takes a hard blow to move air thru that one. It may be moving air but you cannot tell. I usually remove it and plug the hose.

Re: Radiator blew/ engine ran really hot

I got my engine pretty hot once. Maybe not as hot as yours. I re torqued the head. That was three years ago. So far so good.

Re: 84 rod bearings

Seems like if the bearings are not STD they would be marked with something like maybe how much they are oversized.
If used bearings look good and are within tolerance (per plastigage) why not re-use them.

Re: Charge and brake light on still after replacing alternator & voltage regulator

Though not quite the same it may be worth mentioning
I once installed an external regulator alternator in an internal regulator car.
It was an accident but the plug did plug in even though it was different.
Took a while to figure out what i did

The only hole you should have to make is for clutch cable thru firewall . The brake and clutch pedal mountholes should be there

Re: clutch installation questions

I tap the pilot bearing in with a socket just slightly smaller in diameter. Note the depth and make sure its is installed to depth.
The throw out bearing: i use a vise and a socket to press it on.

Re: Erratic Idle - If it Idles at All

When idle is high try pushing throttle cable cam down. If idle drops i would suspect the brass butterfly is hanging up due to wear on forward side (usually) This is pretty common. I add a spring to pull it the rest of the way down.
