Thank you Jeff! Since I have the trans out I decided to go through it. I will definitely check the pilot fitment. Thank you for the explanation!

Thanks Jeff for the ideas! Would you mind clarifying what you mean by wrong pilot?

Hi guys, any ideas why my C6 transmission is burping fluid out the torque convertor seal? The breather on top of the bell housing doesn't appear plugged and the torque convertor seal is brand new. I did install a manual valve body conversion kit. My 2 theories are I installed the manual valve...

I meet you the other day at 3D Engineering, truck looks good, like everyone said impressive work for only being 16 years old.

Tyler, check your pms

Thank you for the offer, but pulling and stripping down a motor just to model the block is probably more work than it is worth. If I were to consider stripping down a motor just to scan I would pull apart a 289 I recently rebuilt and have sitting in the garage. I've thought about scanning the...

I might be asking too much here but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I'm looking for a 289 or 302 bare engine block. I'm wanting to make a CAD model with the use of a 3D scanner. I'm more than willing to work out a rental fee or colateral agreement. I have been looking on craiglist to buy one...

Tyler, Sorry about not getting back with you sooner, I rarely ever log in. Glad to hear your tundra is coming along, interested in seeing pics or stoping by and checking it out. My T100 build is over on desertrides http://www.desertrides.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6387 David

Thank you both!

I'm designing a wheel hub for a 4500lb. 400hp, 37" tire prerunner. I need feedback on the amount of interference the hub bore will require. Based on the Force and Shrink Fit table by the American National Standard there are 5 classes of fit. At first glance a FN 2 or FN 3, having .0014"-.0037"...

Why are venting holes necessary for welding? Will the entire chassis be subjected to a stress relieveing process after all the welding is complete? Thanks, David

Thanks zambo for the info. Unfourtunately the potential client needs the sketchup files in a solid model format so he can have them imported into mastercam. I haven't come across any software to import sketchup files to mastercam.

Has anyone had luck with sycodes solidworks "add in" to import a google sketchup file to a solidworks file? I saw there is a free trial period, but was curious if anyone had used it before and if it worked as well as they suggest. Thanks link to sycodes web page...

Thanks for the input guys. Wheels are already purchased, and I have no plans for any tire wider than 12.5'. 1/16" clearance and no problems, that is amazing! What size vehicle and tire is this on? Thanks

How close is too close? I'm working on a design in solidworks and have the clearance set at .5". Increasing this clearance will drastically effect the geometry I've spent the last few hours getting to a point I'm finally happy with. I've noticed most cars have a good inch or more clearance. I...

I have been all over the internet looking at different compressors, and so far the Proform design looks the strongest and easiest to use. Unless I'm convinced there is a better and cheaper compressor out there, I will probably order the proform sometime next week. Thanks again for everyones input!

Exactly the info I'm looking for! Thanks both of you! idealer - I'm assuming you use the compressor posted above? If so, have you worked with other C style compressors in the past? If any one else wants to chime in with their pick on compressors feel free.

Thanks Scott! Between atomics post, and your post I think all my questions are now answered. I believe I have an 800 series, with flare fittings and a 12:1 ratio that mounts on the outside of the frame. Are the inside frame boxes more or less common than the outside style? From the pictures...

What type and brand valve spring compressor works well, and is preferably under $100? I've used the kind that hooks onto the rocker, and becomes a pry bar, but was surprised how difficult it still was. I have been told the C type works better, but the heads must obviously be removed. I almost...

Thanks atomic for the link, it answered some of my questions. If you come across any other good reads please post the link, and I will obviously do the same if I come across anything good.
