Interesting. I was hoping the 1/4 inch difference wouldn't be enough to cause problems. Sounds like I should just address the problem now while...
I'm just now getting back on this project. I picked up a 10.5 inch Centerforce clutch that fits a 225 v6. I've got a machinist who is going to...
Point taken. I Removed the crankshaft, oiled the bolts and torqued the main caps down with bearings loaded in them. I used a recently calibrated...
Everything was torqued correctly with caps in the right order/direction. I just meant to say it was a hair under 0.002, not that I could...
I'm rebuilding a '75-'77 Buick 231 odd fire v6, and I had the crank shaft ground down 0.010 for the main/rod bearings. I've got a copy of the FSM...
That's what I needed to hear. I like the idea of machining my current flywheel, but the pressure plate is mounted in a 1/4 inch deep recess. By...
My understanding is that both the 225 and the oddfire 231 are externally balanced, and the flywheels are interchangeable. The even fire 231 is an...
I've got a '75-'77 231 oddfire that I'm collecting parts to rebuild. Some time back, I put a new stock clutch in it and resurfaced the flywheel....
Thought I would fill you guys in on the mystery problem. When I had the trans rebuilt the guy used the new 1st gear bushing from the novak...
Every now and then it kind of "binds up" and is difficult to shift, but it usually keeps me from getting it out of gear, not into gear. And it...
I do have a pilot bearing, so I was able to move it with my finger, and it visually still looked 100% new. Literally all of these parts (clutch,...
231 v6/SM465/D18 combo, only ever really driven in low range off road. A while back my jeep started acting up. I'm getting a loud but low...
No, both cases have the small input hole. I wish I could run a D20 but my sm465-d18 adapter is set up for the small hole.
My current D18 has a 1 1/4" intermediate shaft, and was rebuilt not too long ago including a hardened intermediate shaft. It now has a cracked...
I got the donor transfer case mostly apart, but ran into a slight problem. After knocking one of the bearing cups out and removing the snap ring...
Ok, so it sounds like as long as I use both the bearings and the shaft from the 1 1/4" case I should be home free. The only thing that seems...
I've currently got a D18 in my jeep with the 1 1/4" intermediate shaft. I broke the case and chipped a bunch of teeth off of the gears, so I...
I'm about to rebuild my d18 again (broke a bunch of teeth off the gears of my current one), and I have one question I never really figured out the...
I'm about to go pick up a CJ2a, does anyone know the overall bumper to bumper length on one of these? I've got a 12 foot long dump trailer that I...
It's still sitting in the frame, so I would just need to run a couple of wires to get it running. This was my daily driver for a while before I...
