Subject: Valve stem seals Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 15:29:28 -0500 Tony - Rollie and others..: I just finished doing a mojor rebuild of a 351W of '87 vintage. The valve stem seals I removed were stuck(not glued, but naturally stuck) down to the bosses in the heads. They were not machined either. I'd never seen these previously. The valve stem slid up-down through the seal and believe it or not they still worked very well, apparently.. There were very visible markings on the stems but no wear could be measured with my calipers.. The gasket kit I got had the old unbrella types, so that is what I put back on.. I didn't know any better, but I'm confident they will work as well cause thats what I've always used. Apparently most of the oil that gets on the stem is up near the top, so the umbrella will keep it from getting near the guide and getting sucked into the combustrion chamber!!! Only thing I can figure.. Azie Magnusson Ardmore, Al. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 15:47:07 -0500 From: "Howard Bottles" <Howard.Bottles austin.ppdi.com>

I got my 390 running and have been seeing oil consumption on the order of a qt every 75 miles. What I've tracked it down to is that it's stacking up oil in the valve cover and submerging the quides. I ran it with a valve cover off and spilled a qt and a half in one minute. But there was little or no splash, which is the only thing an umbrella will protect you against. It was pouring out of the bottom of the shaft into the baffle and going to the end returns on the head, which couldn't keep up with the amount of oil there. When I blocked my lifter galleys the pressure to the shafts went up, the new adjustable rockers and shafts fit looser, so they don't resist as much, and I had the baffles without the tongues that point at and divert the oil return to the intake valley. Thus the smoke. This weekend(hope) I'm going to replace the intake seals with the Pioneer #OS 940 's, put a #61 (.072 orfice)Holley jet in the passage under each stand, and swap the baffles. Oil consumption should go away. BTW, the engine runs strong, I'll tell you more when I get off work. ------------------------------ From: "Azie L. Magnusson" <maggie11 HiWAAY.net>

<< Yeah, the type that I have on there now must be the graphite ones, because they have dual little springs that hold it to teh seal stem-- but they do sort of snap down onto that boss of the valve guide-- wear on the valve stems shows me that some of them stay stationary. Now, the new seals I bought are the umbrella style that you describe- that's what is having me so puzzled-- I wondered if I got the wrong kind, or if they were just different in nature as to how they acted.. The umbrella ones are for 65-86 300's and are made by Felpro, so I figured they wouldn't be garbage.. Hmm. >> My opinion and thoughts on the unbrella seals. the seal should be down against the head when the valve is fully open efectivly sealing the oil from teh valve stem, consequantly, this is also when it's exposed to maximum vacume (whatever makes it buy the guide, never tried to measure it). When teh valve is closed, teh umbrella shape deflects teh oil from around the stem to the sides of the guide boss. I've yet to see fluids that flow uphill as this is what it would take to get into the guide area. Now Im not saying it's a perfect seal, but that's my understanding in a nutshell.

Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 23:50:22 EDT Subject: wheel ID I'm trying to round up two sets of original wheels for my 64 F-100's. These are the old style that had the internal locking hubcaps. My problem is that they came in both 5" and 5.5" widths. I'm not confident that I could eyeball the difference between them, but I need to make sure I get all of them the same width. My parts catalog lists the stamping numbers used on these wheels. I can use that # to make sure I have the right ones, but I have been unable to find any numbers- even on the two wheels I already have. Does anyone know where to look for this stamping number?? Also- I have 2 other wheels of the same design, but they are 16.5" wheels and have the same 5 on 5.5 bolt circle. Anyone have any idea what these might be off of? I don't need them, but I don't want to trash them if someone might be looking for a pair.

They will fit the stock FE guide boss without any modifications and they work very well. I have yet, to have a set of heads, with these seals come back for oiling problems. They are made for 3/8" valves with a .625 OD guide boss but they have enough stretch to make it over the stock FE size (.660) guide boss. I don't think they will work for the 300 6 cyl because if I remember right it has 11/32" valve stems. In that motor (300) I believe that you have to machine the guide bosses to accept a positive type seal. Because they were setup from the factory with umbrella seals, the guide boss is rather large. If someone could give me the outside dimension for the 300's guide boss I may be able to find a positive seal for this application. Response may be a little slow, I'm in digest mode.

If you're factoring out the drag lost from the alternator, power steering and exhaust, then you're talkin GROSS which is pretty much a useless number except it sounds cool :) SAE NET includes at least part of the exhaust system, and all the accesories on the front at least, its designed to measure the crank hp when the motor's really sitting in the car (the air filter and intake system, that's what else there was !) ... this "advertised" hp number means very little from the factory and can vary by as much as 10hp between two cars of the same year. Then there's rear wheel horsepower which is what the chassis/roller dyno's measure. Sometimes I call this "real world" because its a much better comparative number, but it too is subject to quite a bit of variation due to air conditions (pressure, temp, humidity, etc.) and even the fuel you are running that day, so it should be used only as an estimate and for bragging to your friends (just don't count that spike that happens when you shift as the high point :) The nice thing about the chassis dyno is that the numbers take into account all the differential losses and the tranny losses and such, the bad thing is aerodynamics aren't taken into account, so estimated 1/4mile times aren't gonna happen with our trucks at the hp they put out. There are tons of ways to figure out the horsepower of your motor, as long as everyone's on pretty much the same page with their figures and comparing the same types of numbers (gross to gross, net to net, rw to rw), then the real benchracing begins :) Just my $.02 wish 96 Mustang GT 5spd 4.6L 73ish 1/2ton 4x4 6.4L http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wish Ford Truck Enthusiasts http://www.ford-trucks.com ------------------------------ From: Natp244 cs.com

When Desert Storm hit, Fort Hood painted their entire fleet. They went from green camo to desert sand camo. Generally, if the Army can't do it in one of their shops, they don't need it done. It is true that they contract a lot of stuff out these days. The good thing about painting something camo is you can't mess it up.

I installed the power steering pump on SWBOs Towncar last night. The reason I mention this has to do with the pulley puller. If you have done a pump replacement, getting the pulley off the old pump and onto the new pump is by far the hardest part of the job. I bought a pulley puller from NAPA. It is part# 775-9073 on the card. It is an Evercraft Service Tool brand. It works great. It is adjustable for two sizes of pulleys. I paid about $25 for it. It was well worth the investment not to go through the aggravation of borrowing, renting, or putting down an $87 deposit. I wish I had owned it when I did Henry's pump.

Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2000 09:38:16 EDT Subject: Re: wheel ID In addition to the info Gordon posted regarding potential stampings in the web areas around the lugs and in the air channel, manufacturers also put stamping ID's on the back of rims. These *may* be found on the flat surface (the area which would be parallel to the road as the wheel is mounted on the truck)just above the bead area. If you take a look at my site in the "For Sale/Wanted" section I have a picture of a 1966 16" split rim I am looking for for my 67. The picture shows how Firestone stamped their rims. Be advised that manufacturers often changed things during the production runs. For instance, I have another set rims made by Firestone in 1966 which look identical, but are not stamped the same way as the one shown on my site.

<< Someone is pulling your leg here, Lisa. When Desert Storm hit, Fort Hood painted their entire fleet. They went from green camo to desert sand camo. Generally, if the Army can't do it in one of their shops, they don't need it done. It is true that they contract a lot of stuff out these days. The good thing about painting something camo is you can't mess it up. IMHO, I think you would enjoy metal flake purple much more than camo, especially if you could find someone to use Imron and then clear coat it. >> Depends on what's cheaper! I'm REALLY not wanting to do a camo job by myself <I'm real picky!> but I'll go with whatever is easier on the pocket book. I e-mailed March Reserve AFB which is the closest to me but I haven't heard anything back from them. =( Chances are I'll have to find some retired Vietnam Vet or somethin like that who knows what he's doing! LOL And if anyone has any pics of camo-ed cars or trucks could ya send em my way so I can decide what pattern I want?
