Valve lash and Rad removal - Anthony Louis Pawley - 03-23-2006 20:16 Hey Jon! If you don't have the swing out option on your rad., removing it will be very fun... I am lucky to have my 79 FC33 retro equipped with the swing out, so when I took out mine last summer to have it repaired and the core expanded, it wasn't that difficult. Just have to disconnect all top water pump hoses and water temp sender wire. Taking off bumper was relatively easy, except for the weight! Maybe others on the list can help me on this one. After I put everything back together, I lost a few of the rubber/steel washers used on the front panels, so that the bolts aren't directly on the paint and marring it. Know where to get some? I've tried my local fastener supplier, but no luck.... Sincerely, Tony Pawley 1979 FC33 with 3208T Full Timing It for two plus years now! Ballard, Wash..... --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Someone here stated it takes about 3 or 4 hours to complete this job so maybe it looks like $300 dollar or so? DOES ANYONE ONE KNOW WHAT THE PRICE OF VLV GASKETS COST? THANKS Jon PS That swing out radiator would be nice but at a $1000 dollars or more that a little bit to much for the old Scotchmen!!! Jon 1978 Wanderlodge Bremerton Washington Valve lash and Rad removal - David Heibult - 03-24-2006 10:01 Jon; 2 years ago I pulled my front end off on side of the road just south of Omaha Neb. It took my son and myself approx .one hour to pull everything off the front so we could get to our fan belts and pullys.The only thing I will say if I ever have to pull one apart again I will replace the hyd on the lower raditor with hyd quick coulpers . this would be a faily small job for the couplers to be installed. It took us about anouther hour to reinstall, so it ran approx 4 manhours.I used and electric impact wrench and that helped greatly.But the swing out raditor would make the job easer and cleaner.Dave 91WBWL 40 & 82 FC 35 >From: "Jon" >Reply-To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Valve lash and Rad removal >Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 21:35:21 -0000 > > > > >--- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Anthony Louis Pawley > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hey Jon!

If yoy know someone who does welding, and fairly good at it, I'd be more than happy to show you mine in order to make a copy, or more prcisely your own design that emulates this one. Let us know how the trip to the mechanis goes for the valve lash. I am hitting my first twenty one thousand on my FC this week, and wonder about the difficulty in doing this myself....
