Use a bottoming tap if available to clean up these threads . Use new fasteners w/anti-seize so you will not have this trouble again. On the holes with damaged threads you can install studs on these holes.* Make it look good and put studs opposite of these to give it symmetry . You can make your own studs w/threaded rod. It is cheaper in the long run . Used flanged nus & capscrews too ! * The reason being , you will be pulling on these threads rather than turning/twisting of a capscrew .

That's a good feelin' !

What is a "special " battery charger ? What does it do that a conventional charger or tender does not or cannot do ?

You can Google " petroleum on brake parts" and see what you find out . Prove it to yourself . Go buy a brake caliper rebuild kit for a brake caliper & a fresh can of WD-40 . Let them soak for a couple of days . Then you will keep petroleum based fluids from brake parts . NAPA sells a Raybestos brake assembly lube you can use when working on your brake calipers.

The noises could be lots of things. The nut is important because it provided a good connection between the solenoid and motor portion of the starter . I didn't know about the starter noises ?

I am sorry for not getting in on this brake conversation til now... I do not know if WD-40 contains ANY petroleum distillates , products or not. If so , please get some rubber brake components and soak them in it for a day or so ...let us know what happens . Brake rubber parts are NOT compatible with petroleum products , period .

You realize the missing nut is the reason the starter was not working ?

Where is the nut that goes on the solenoid to starter motor cable ?

Look up Rue Ring cotter pins on Google and see if one of these will work for you ? You will have to drill a hole in the pivot pin for this . I have new computers and I am not smart enough to copy & paste yet .

I know what you were talking about ! This 30kv + is a real "jolt per kilovolt" ! It takes me about 10 mins. to recover from this...

Temperature hot ?

Why are you selling these parts ?

I talked to my old electronics instructor / best friend Gerald Wells to verify this ...after one hour of revue and lecture , you get the explanation . We started with copper core " high tension " leads , narrow streets in Germany , burn time , then to spark plug electrode composition and so on .

That shi**y engine paint ain't exclusive to Scura models. I don't know if it was a primer , preparation or paint problem but it sure looks crummy . You can do a search ( this site ) to see how to correctly remedy this paint problem ... I do remember someone using H/D crinkle finish black to match the color & texture .

A spark plug wire this short will not give you the necessary resistance to serve it's purpose. This R will keep the arc time minimal to reduce wear on the center / ground electrodes on your spark plug.

Uh.....you are not supposed to ask this question .

This is a subjective # but around 5k ohms per ft. is normal for ( as we know them ) spark plug wires . You will be looking for resistance and not infinity or open .

Check them w/a DVOM to see .

Your post says 5 meg ohm , do you mean 5 k ohm ?

Docc, that type of nut is called a tinnerman (sp) nut . I will check to see if IU have something and will let u know !

Swap the injectors from one side to the other and see what happens . If the heat travels then the injector is not good. Send them to www.lindertech.com for evaluation. They can test , contact you , clean and match them for flow to have you back in business !

Whew... MC5 for "Kick Out the Jams" and David Byrne for any Talking Heads song .

Things happen , that's why I recommended removing the oil pressure switch . This would allow the air to be purged from the oil circuit . This happened to a buddy's BMW 320i . It had sat for about a year and would not pick up oil until this switch was removed and the engine started .

Yep , make sure it slides in & out easily before installing it permanently .

Removing the oil pressure switch will allow the air to be purged from the oil circuit in the engine . This will ( if it works ) keep you from the work of removing the pan .
