Subject: Re: Anti-Seize In regards to WD-40, my father worked as a civilian machinist for the canadian armed forces here on the west coast and out of curiosity he filled up a small jar with WD and sent it unlabeled to DREP, they analyze items for the armed forces, and the results found that it contained, mineral oil, water, and alcohol (i assume the latter was to help evaporate the water), so it really isn't anything special. As a side not about anti seize some shops get really upset when they find it on your lug nuts. In fact in some places it is illegal to lube your lug's A proper shop will torque lug's to spec's and it calls for a dry torque the wet torque does put a bit more force on the stud and can cause the m to fail....

Well a cake is mainly water, eggs, sugar and flour and I have seen some very special cakes. It's not always what is in there, but how it is mixed and prepared. Has anyone ever found WD40 to be harmful? Why all of this WD40 bashing? I have found it to be both versatile and economical, but not universal. Oh I forgot, some of you insist on running synthetic oil, too... FTE content: I retrieved a coworker with Henry this morning. She was driving a 99 Tahoe that quit.

Subject: l.p. gas(propane) for fuel I read somewhere that l.p. gas is 104 octane. Does this mean I could boost compression way up? It seems better than paying $3 to $4 a gallon for racing fuel. L.P is about 75cents per gallon here. My question is...how much could I boost compression? Are there any places that sell higher C:R pistons for my '78 351M? It has a very low C:R right now, it won't ever ping when using 87 octane, but its time to rebuild and give it some more power!!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Subject: Re: l.p. gas(propane) for fuel I build / run propane engines. Yes propane is 104 octane, there are recommended amounts to raise the compression depending on what type of application, in a truck pulling the average load 10.5 to 1 is the highest recommended in the books i have read. For a car, as high as 12 to 1 is good. I myself am running a 351W in a 74 F250 4x4 with 13 to 1 and regret it on hot days. once you exceed 10 to 1 the heat generated in the combustion chamber increases exponentially and detonation (ping) and overheating occurs. The colder you run a propane engine the better 160 deg is the best average thermostat temp, and at 11 to 1 on a hot day climbing a hill the temp will reach 180. At that point you will start noticing a loss in power even if the engine isn't pinging. This also depends on the engine, a 440 dodge can run 13.5 to 1 and pull a 77 4 door new yorker without heating up. I have found a special thermostat to solve 90% of my heating problems but it took me 2 years sort it out. High compression pistons for a 351M are easy to find they aren't a rare item, your local parts dealer could get some, for cheaper than the race pistons i usually buy from Keith Black. You could always keep the low compression pistons run propane and put a turbo setup on. I have done this and it worked REALLY well. Keep in mind that a proper propane engine also has hardened exhaust seats made for propane to prevent the valves from recessing into the heads. (till the point where the valves are open). (where i am gas is 78 cents a liter and propane is 38 cents) Chad Morris wrote: > I read somewhere that l.p. gas is 104 octane. Does > this mean I could boost compression way up?

Has anyone heard of someone making this part now or access to one? I myself can pay up to $0.80 per litre for regular or just $0.38 per litre for propane (even cheaper in the city). Also to tie this with another thread, a nice set of aluminum heads would help get rid of heat with higher compression and the electric water pump we talked about would help. Also its recommended you install the heat shield under your intake manifold if you don't have one already.
