    Questions about Hot tanking motor.

    Just plain Caustic Soda, it was replaced on regular intervals mixed at the correct ratios so maybe that's why I never had an issue. Most shops just dump a bag in if they think it needs it.... NOT slamming you in any way shape or form just that SM Tech isn't going to turn into Stupid...

    Questions about Hot tanking motor.

    Had my own tank at home for years, NEVER had an issue but of course it would depend on how the bearings measured after the tank, if they're sloppy they're sloppy and need to be replaced. Over the years here there have been so many horror stories about shops fucking the bearing replacement...

    Questions about Hot tanking motor.

    So the 20+ SBC's I've done this way have all been ruined.... I don't post shit without practical experience. Why tell the kid to "deglaze" shit until it's inspected and the bores actually measured to see if it's servicable.

    Questions about Hot tanking motor.

    Leave the AUX/Oil Pump driveshaft in place or you'll be replacing the bearings for it. Everything else depends on the condition of the block after it's clean and inspected.

    Rebuild of 7mgte head

    You're looking for a sclerometer, Zumtizzle sourced mine for me in the USA it's wasn't overly expensive, PM him he should be able to provide the company details. It's a simple tester that can be used on car so invaluable for a 7M or 7M equipped car purchase.

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    Something wrong in the plumbing or pipe work then Brad, I ran a 5psi spring in my V44 and was 100% stable to 24psi. Most of the things you can try engine wise are counter productive while trying to get traction, pulling timing and cutting cylinders (unless you can cut bot Inj/Ign) just blows...

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    What WG Brad? Even if you limit the throttle to 70% the ECU still see's that as 70% via the TPS. Don't know if you remember how much trouble I went to trying to sort this issue on the 3540r...

    Rebuild of 7mgte head

    Very first test/check should be for hardness, if it fails that it's junk and spending a single cent on it afterwards is a waste of $
