FCPeuro is a great source for the OEM bolts. ARP hardware is excellent but not really necessary for a stock rebuild. OEM is totally fine unless building some kind of high performance motor
Hi Ray, still have the Chinook, and we will be getting back on it. Just have to wrap up some other commitments before since it's such a time/money suck. Thanks for checking in!!
@@NotEnoughProjects Hi Lukas I see If you do not mind a suggestion,seeing as hoiw the sie=des of the Chinook are ,well,kind of weak,and do not have a solid structure or support,why not acquire some aluminum or steel tubing and attach it to the floor and to the front and rear sections of the vehicle Do you know what I mean?Can I come and help you?
@@NotEnoughProjects OK Have you found a source or in other words a person that can supply you with the tubing Are you going to weld or screw what no doubt will become a frame together Not boasting,just explaining,but I hace some carpentry and mechanical experience Would you like me to come and help you?I have an idea.Please ask me what it is
Thank you very much! Without this video I would never have replaced the piston rings.
Glad it helped!
About to do this job. What does a machine job generally charge for refurbishing a bent valve head?
In my area refurbing a cylinder head like the one in the video is close to $1000. Unfortunately good machine work isn't cheap
Have you got a preferred source for the connecting rod bolts? Fcp or arp directly? Or?

Hi Lukas How are you?What happened to the Chinook?

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Likely will land on some square steel tubing for the wall structure then bond aluminum sheet on for the outer skin

Hey the cause of this is the belt tensioner please replace or it will happen again!!
This happened with a new Tensioner in place. But definitely the tensioner should always be suspect!
The coolant thermostat
