New tools!
I scored an immaculate Snap-on BF633 hammer on ebay for an excellent price, this is one of the 3 discontinued hammers I needed to complete my collection. Only two left!
Woody got married on Saturday, a great time was had by all!
Parts have been piling up, and I haven't had time to install them.
Head gasket, head bolts, belts, pulleys, and sensors all from Germanautoparts.com
Neuspeed adjustable cam gear so I can dial my cam timing back in to spec since the head has been shaved.
I found new seals for the A/C compressor, Sanden SD7V16. This is the seal:
And this is the mess I had to install it over. There is a 0% chance this can be installed over the threads, woodruf key groove, and retaining ring groove without damage.
I made a seal installation tool on my lathe that allows it to slip down into position.
To help the rubber/Teflon seal go on easily, I warmed and lubricated it in PAG oil.
Great success!
I got the new rear cap installed on the A/C compressor, now I just have to make a fill plug to replace the nasty green bolt and it's ready to install.
Teflon seals are widely used and are available in three standard configurations that includes single turn and solid configuratio
