What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

[Clutch]

Ok another truck update. The bottom of the cab got rust inhibitor and black paint. Not my usual paint work I used a roller and a brush.

The frame got rust inhibitor but I ran out so I need to pick some up tomorrow

The Machinist finished my heads tonight so tomorrow starts assembly and when I got home there was a package from ZZ diesel waiting for me so my pump is here and my power steering line came yesterday. It's going to be a busy weekend.

Looking pretty snazzy! Should keep it protected and on the road for a while for you. A lot of hard work but should pay off it the end.

It's OK, we can put you (further) into hock, we don't mind if it leads to good pics of good work 😉

Replaced 2 tires on the daily van, rotated the other 2 to the back. Man this thing eats tires, gonna see if an alignment helps but from what I have seen may just be the way it is

Tried to measure for countershaft extension endplay and got anywhere from .045-060".

I think I'll try jam nutting a washer onto the shaft to pry off of with a prybar and hope for more consistent results. I'm also open to ideas.

Spec on that is like .003-.005 if I remember right. I have a few shims for one. That one is a PITA..

The Camaro manual specs 0-.002", but another Tremec document (and others) say 2-5. I think I'll just walk up on it with shims. Last night I thought it was preload, this should make it a bit easier.
