Subject: RE: FTE 61-79 - Boring As Stock Man says, if you use a proper cylinder hone it will both true up the taper and the out of roundness of the cylinder. A proper hone is solid and has enough stones in it to ensure that it acts like a boring tool, that is, it is not affected by the shape of the cylinder and will eventually make a round hole. Where the problem comes in is that the finished size is the rusult of removing the "Average" deviation of the largest and smallest parts and can, in some cases, reflect the largest deviation from nominal center. A good way to begin such a project is to rough hone all the cylinders to a point where they are mostly cleaned up but have witness marks left from the old bore. Now you measure all the cylinders and find the largest one and the largest spot in that cylinder and this becomes your target if it falls within your allowed spec.. If not then you must bore to the next oversize leaving enough stock to finsh hone for the correct finish and cross hatch etc... Initially, leave plenty of witness until you find out where you are and based on the projected degree of finish you are seeking etc.. If you are building a race engine you want perfection or if you are building the ultimate, long lasting touring engine this too needs ultimate perfection but if you just need another 50k out of it then you can fudge quite a bit. The one thing which is true about a hone is that it will follow the "Average" center line of the cylinder as it has worn, not as it was originally bored so the result can be slight out of line centers to the crank. In most cases this will not be enough to make any difference to us but to high rpm racers this it taken into account and bores are always trued first to the crank with a boring bar and then the deck is also trued to the crank to eliminate any possible side loading on the components. For us this is not really a serious consideration but if you really want to do it right then these steps should be taken too :-) (depending on equipment used the deck may be trued first) :-) - -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.thewowfactor.com/bigbroncos/detail.cfm?detailid=167 - -- > Just remember that honing does nothing but exand the > cylinder that you > have, if you are out of round now, honing it .005 is just > going to give you > a 5 thousandths larger egg shaped cylinder... == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 07:45:48 -0500 From: "Peters, Gary (G.R.)" Subject: RE: FTE 61-79 - Boring It just occured to me that as long as I am on the subject I should have warned readers that you never bore an engine and hone it until you have measured all the pistons and verified the required clearances. In most cases the pistons will be interchangeable but there is enough risk of slight differences that all pistons should be carefully measured and logged and marked and if necessary the bores should be individually sized to the pistons. This seldom is an issue now days with diamond cutting tools and high technology machining processes to finish the pistons but is always a wise precaution on any rebuild project, just to be sure :-) - -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.thewowfactor.com/bigbroncos/detail.cfm?detailid=167 - -- > A good way to begin such a project is to rough hone all the > cylinders to a > point where they are mostly cleaned up but have witness marks > left from the > old bore.

Subject: RE: FTE 61-79 - RE: Plug wires, looms I like the aluminum one piece jobbies with inserts but regardless this process will embrittle the plastic so that it may break when you try to insert the wires. That is a plan though and might be a way to get my stock looms to function. Since they are useless as they are I'm out nothing if the experiment fails :-) There is also the possiblity that 10mm split looms would work too but the "snap in" types would not hold the wires well enough I don't think so I keep putting it off..... I made some out of micarta once that used the valve cover bolts as anchors, two halves bolted together. You can actually make these with a drill press and drill press vise very easily out of rectangle nylon stock or micarta stock etc or even hard rubber. I may attempt to make some more one day :-) I took two matching pieces and sandwiched them in the vise edge up and drilled the proper sized holes for the wires, 4, 3, 2,1 in 4 sets for each side of the engine. Then turn them over and drill and tap one bolt hole in the outboard end and a through hole in the inboard end for a longer valve cover bolt. They work very well and look pretty good but are a pain to install and take off when you work on the wires. - -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.thewowfactor.com/bigbroncos/detail.cfm?detailid=167 - -- > wire looms.

Subject: RE: FTE 61-79 - Lug nuts, not dead n....... My daughter's 97 F-150 was recalled for bad lug nuts. The new ones have a sweged washer on them that rotates to protect the new cast wheels they use. Some of these apparently were not made right and were not tightening up on the wheel but binding on the lug itself somehow so the wheel would not be tight and the nut would eventually come off. Never heard the power train thing but vibration in the power train should not cause a properly torqued lug nut to come off. Vibration sufficient to do that would have to make the vehicle undrivable I would think. When I was in the service we used to struggle with rusted lugs and lug nuts on trucks because of a mistaken belief that lubeing the lugs would make it easier for the nuts to come off. Now, in professional auto shop classes, they teach you to use anti-seize on the lugs to........ensure that they "won't" come off! :-) Why? Because the anti-seize ensures that you will be able to get the correct torque on them for good metal to metal contact.

And of course I have a qeustion. I have a 65 F100 with a 460 backed by a C6. Ever since I installed the C6 I have had problems. I don't know alot about tranny's so maybe someone could help. when I put the truck in reverse it jerks and jumps, when I am in drive it acts alright unless I have any weight in the truck then it acts like it won't pull. Is there any fix short of pulling the tranny and installing a new one. Paul, It sounds like the tranny is slipping. First, some questions and answers. What year is the transmission? C6s made before the 1976 model year required Ford ATF. 76 and later C6s require Dexron ATF. My sister put Ford ATF in my 79 and it acted just as you describe. I found out when I tried to back up with a half cord of firewood on board. I changed the ATF and filter and the tranny has worked well ever since, about 7 years. I didn't drain the torque converter. I didn't know you could without pulling it, but I believe some one mentioned a drain plug in a past post. Did you rebuild the C6 or just put in one that you were told was working? If it was lying around in the weather, it may have picked up some moisture inside. Did you change the fluid when you installed it? I think you get my drift. If it was put in without examination, then it may be worn out and need a rebuild. Personally, I'd try the fluid and filter first unless you put the tranny back together yourself and know what's there.

Bill, slap some household silicone sealer on your distributor nut after you have tightened it down. This will prevent the vibration from turning the nut. It just takes a bead down one face over to the bracket or if it is really a nut, across the nut to the bolt threads. Plus, if the vibration is so bad that it does still break loose, you can tell by looking. Household silicone sealer will peel off easily enough if you need to loosen the bolt on purpose. - -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com 1979 F150 Custom LWB Regular Cab 351M C6 (Henry) http://www.ford-trucks.com/jlagrone/henry.home.htm Dearborn iron rules!!!! == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 09:19:14 -0600 From: "John LaGrone" Subject: FTE 61-79 - weird sights >> I was coming to a stop, and the sucker jumps off, hits the wheel well in the rear, and takes off at about 50 mph...

I'll never forget watching a tire pass us while towing a boat to the lake for some fishing. The left wheel fell off the trailer, passed us in the oncoming lane as we made a right hand turn, and whirled into an open field. After stopping and viewing the damaged spindle, the driver jacks up the axle and ties a branch to it with bailing wire! We drag the branch in place of a wheel a few miles, and then stop to jack up the axle again to reposition the branch (which is much shorter now). Don't know how many miles we traveled this way, but that's how we made it to civilization (used up a few branches doing it).

That was a great tip and it reminded me of another one a friend showed me. Cut a piece of suitable tubing to a length equal to the spacing you want. Run the zip tie around one wire, through the tubing, around the other wire, back through the tubing and through the clamp. It should end up something like this. (O)====(O) (tubing not shown) Don't pull the zip-tie so tight it crimps the wire! This is really intended for running two parallel hoses like heater hose from the core, or remote oil filters. You just use a piece of the same hose as the spacer and big zip ties. For spark plug wires I would get some looms.

First, some questions and answers. What year is the transmission? C6s made before the 1976 model year required Ford ATF. 76 and later C6s require Dexron ATF. My sister put Ford ATF in my 79 and it acted just as you describe. I found out when I tried to back up with a half cord of firewood on board. I changed the ATF and filter and the tranny has worked well ever since, about 7 years. I didn't drain the torque converter. I didn't know you could without pulling it, but I believe some one mentioned a drain plug in a past post. Did you rebuild the C6 or just put in one that you were told was working? If it was lying around in the weather, it may have picked up some moisture inside. Did you change the fluid when you installed it? I think you get my drift. If it was put in without examination, then it may be worn out and need a rebuild. Personally, I'd try the fluid and filter first unless you put the tranny back together yourself and know what's there. Goo >> I dont mean to start another debate here, but Ive got a '79 Bronco w c6.

Broke that little tube assembly that sits on the passenger side of the carb on the intake manifold; exchanges heat from the exhaust to the choke. A 1/4" tube drops from the air cleaner to the intake, coils inside the hot intake (where the exhaust recircs in the m-blocks I think), then bolts onto the choke. How hot do you suppose this gets? Late last night (new motor fever) I soldered this together using copper tubing to shim the areas I mashed... But now I wonder if that was such a grand idea.

Well, since I'm sitting here bored to death and have a credit card in my wallet and a computer in front of me I got to looking around in Northern Hydraulic and Harbor Freight for some stuff I've been meaning to get but couldn't really justify but since I'm working 4 days of the Holidays I figure "What the Hey!" Got me a 200,000 btu propane heater for the barn and a professional 30 gal parts washer with a 280 gph pump, special seals and all the goodies. Sits on a oil drum and runs on as little as 5 gal which happens to be the size pail I can get mineral spirits in locally. Now I'm trying to get Harbor Freight to pick up the stupid phone before I go home so I can see what their price is on the mineral spirits in larger quantities. Anyone have a good, cheap source for drums of mineral spirits? Already have the sheet metal and all the parts I need for the bronco, will have the heater middle of next week (paid dearly for that!) and washer regular ground delivery (no hurry on that :-)) Still have to figure out how to hook up the heater to my big tanks out back, safely and to code so will probably enlist the services of my propane dealer next week to help me hook it up. I want a quick disconnect permanently mounted to the barn wall in a convenient location to the rear of the hoist so I can put a fan behind it and gently blow the heat into my work area. Have to figure out a safe route for the pipe and also what kind of pipe to use etc..

All that is required is to remove the double sided splined adapter from the bottom. The bed on the back (single square gas door...1977-1/2 to 1979, 8 Foot) was near mint. There was no rust on the wheel arches, or corners. I asked about the price and they said $165.00 minus the tailgate & tailights.
