Re: Gl1, gl4 and gl5 gear oils

Transmissions must be GL4 not GL4/GL5. GL5 rated will eat the yellow metal synchros. And yes all the parts stores will tell you wrong. You will most likely not find it on the shelf and have to order it. Amsoil is a good source for GL4. Was surprised when I found out my 2001 Nissan Xterra 5 speed tra...

Remember never remove a drain plug without first insuring that you can remove the corresponding fill plug. :lol:

Re: Top Speed

Acceleration to highway speeds is not rapid however you should not have problems getting there however IMHO ear plugs are a must for any extended travel over 40, 45 mph.

Re: Can You Hand Crank A Pinz Gasoline Engine?

My suggestion would be to find a vehicle of similar engine size and compression that is already equipped for a hand crank and make arrangements to sample what it takes to hand start it. Than decide if its still a project you wish to proceed with. 40 years of off and on back pain have not left me a f...

Re: Can You Hand Crank A Pinz Gasoline Engine?

Once started wheel will spin dangerously and of course if it slips off the jack it will run away, but it might get y...

Re: 1972 Search & Rescue Pinz (*warning* picture heavy)

Great teaser, glad you could be there and help them to safety. :D Brings back memories of the night I spent on Tiger mountain back in '78 after my series rover decided to lean over and take a nap. Taught me to carry more recovery gear when going solo, at least I'd thought to have my basic comfort ki...
