Re: Grumpy's Ranger Pix
Hey Grumpy,
Be careful with that flywheel, bolting up the pressure plate. Mark ran into a problem with the one he got. Remember him saying someone had screwed up the threads using the wrong bolts. Ford uses the metric while after market uses (most) SAE. Just a FYI. I have thread chasers that I always use to check to make sure of which series of threads I'm dealing with. Remeber one guy who did get 7/16-14 bolts to go into his Explorer manifolds that were M12-1.75. Said he thought they were interference fits. Well, they are now!
Dave - still 8-12" on the ground.

Re: Grumpy's Ranger Pix
Good point Dave, I was just going to tell him about my encounter with the wrong bolts used on holding the pressure plate on, I still can't belive someone just cross threaded the wrong ones in and drove it, not for me!Dave wrote:Hey Grumpy,
