    Air tools.

    Cam bearing failure

    I’m rebuilding a Ford 3.8 V6. I tore the engine down yesterday and everything seem in very good shape, except the cam bearings. The journals on the came were in great shape, so I was very surprised to see this. Looks like the tops of off the cam bearings are pitted heavily.

    What to do about wet locations?

    What do you guys do a about moisture and humidity in your shops/ garages? It’s always crazy humid here, and sometimes when we get a bad rain I get water running through my shop. Everything is always mold on it or getting rusty just from sitting out. Hell, my truck started getting moldy just...

    8.8 Front vs 8.8 Rear

    Why is it a bad idea to use gears specked for a 8.8 solid rear in an 8.8 IFS? Are they the same or what reverse cut? First time I've regeared a front diff, so I am a little turned around.

    This place is a bad influence.

    I came here for some simple information about suggestions on maintenance items on my Ford Ranger. Got lored in by pickle and dumpster memes. Decided it was a good idea to super charge a Ford ranger. Now I have two of these things because I wanted to 4 wheel drive stuff like the cool kids
