76 Bus fuel pump moaning? by
Derek A. Bill
Pretty suddenly last week I began to hear a fairly loud moan or low
pitched whine from the midsection of my Bus. No other symptoms, just
the moan. My experience with late 80s American fuel pumps leads me to
believe my fuel pump is to blame.
Anyone here experience this? If so...how long have I...

Removing front trailing arms by
Dave in WV
I haven't posted here in ages but I read often.
Do you simply take the setscrew /bolt out of the arm
and just pound the arm out with a BFH? We tried last
night with a not so big hammer and it didn't budge.
Is there a trick to it or just pound harder?
Thanks,
Dave in WV

Measuring Piston & Cylinders by
Mel P.[_2_]
I have a bore micrometer and a 3-4" micrometer...
1. Is there a max difference between the Cyl ID & Piston OD?
2. What should the rings diameters be for 40 HP pistons? how about 85.5 mm
pistons?
Anything thing else that should be measure?
