Love your videos man, keep it up
Hey,
Great Stuff!
A couple of comments..
– It looks like you're using Stainless Steel (SS ) mounting hardware. For SS, a small amount of anti-seize is recommended, as SS tends
to gall at elevated temps.
– See SS Torque specs @ https://butlerperformance.com/i-24452807-butler-pontiac-complete-engine-accessory-bolt-kit-hex-head-stainless-steel-1969-79-abo-h-5201.html
Q:
Why didn't you mount the two studs you had for the timing cover when you installed the gasket?
Thoughts?
Hey Monty really like your videos. Do have a question that i hope you can help me with. I have a 71 grand prix and i can't find any specs for power steering fluid. As far as what i should be using. Do you know a web page that might have the fluid spec. Thank you keep up the good work.
These videos have helped me a lot with my 400 . If I’m not removing my distributor, where should my timing gears be lined up to replace the gears and chain, does both need to be at 12 o’clock ???
