Yep...

Without a shim, the bead goes on the shelf. You need to shoot straight when inserting the liner so you dont smudge the bead of RTV with the end of the liner. Yes to putting the shim on the liner . Zero chance of pinching it.

I put a narrow bead on the liner and on the shelf. NARROW.... you dont want the RTV to not allow a good liner seat. I also recommend taking a small amount off the shelves with a counter bore cutter, unless you are happy with the depth mic readings at 4 points in each bore

Shim sizes are a plenty. Up to .020".

Happy Birthday to Lmackattack.. 🎂🥳

In my opinion. .023" is too low. When I set liners i shoot for .027". You are allowed .002" across the cyl's. So .025" would be the low, and .029" would be the high. Are you using a sled gauge to check liner protrusion? And pointing in the correct groove at the top. Is the deck flat? I dont know of taller liners, an uncut counter bore shelf is around 4.003" deep. This is based off of my own measurements .

Well Paul.. I dont like when cultures lose their cultures... Our language changes often, but to me its related to street slang by a culture that I dont subscribe to.. anyway... And when Swishy posts.... I dont know what the hell he is sayin' but you do.. I love it.. cya...

Yes sir, it was really good. My Boss even said so many times... Nailed it !!.

Now Paul ??? You know we know your are top notch.... I dont know any Aussie words to use so pick some.. Is Banger a good word ? Or is that Brittish? Anyway... you are spot on....

Yes 880joe, i would like to think the oil fill cap would pop off. But.... if its a good oil cap, it may hold and allow oil to push out the spinner breather, im still not sure on this one...

Well.... here it is... this plus homemade mac'n cheese, fried okra and brussles sprouts.. It aught to be Yummy...

Happy Birthday guys.. 🎂 🥳 🎉

The Eaton Synchro is a pair of steel rings that engage each on apon assembly. The friction material is on one rings inner diameter, and the outer diameter on the other ring. The friction material engages the range gear that is selecected. The range gears have a ground surface that the friction material rides on to maintain gear speed to match road speed, and engine sped during range shifting.. I prefer the Eaton synchro over Macks because of ease of installation and low cost, and if the back box is in reusable condition, no special tools are needed to repair it in chassis. I have lost count on how many I have done. With all that I posted.... You need to see a picture of what I have described to get a real perspective...

you are too kind paul.. I wish it was a bigger deal than what it is.. Thank you sir..

Well it's been a while since I smoked anything.. Just some basics. I soaked these in brine over night. The chicken will be some juicy and tender fall of the bone goodness.. They wont even need added seasoning. The ribs will be tender, but I will likely brush them with a sauce while they are on the grill. Lately, I have been smoking the meats for 3-4 hours, then finish on a slow grill, It works really good.
