1985 Ford Ranger, 4wd manual, 2.8L (cologne)
Engine has just been rebuild, bore is +.003 standard / standard
DuraSpark Conversion successful
Just finished rebuilding the engine, for this beast, and have noticed (after getting everything hooked up and running) that the Hydraulic clutch is not releasing the way that is used to (e.g., the press does not feel as resistant as it was before the engine rebuild, and when I release the clutch, the gear is not engaging anywhere near the point that it used to during release).
Good news is, no grinding or popping. We went through the bleed process last night, and will try again later; but I wanted to know if anyone could provide some run - downs on areas to consider; or, if there is a different process for bleeding an exclusive hydraulic clutch system, provide some directions on restoring pressure and proper clutch return.
Thank
s folks!
