[Amc-list] 195.6 OHV

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Got the head on today, at least. No troubles at all. Spent the
time to run a tap through all the headbolt holes, a die over
the bolts, antiseize and all that rot.

After I got the head on I realized I forgot to pop out and
replace the leaking freeze plug (sic), doh, it would have been
easier with the head off. Oh well.

To get to the plug, had to take the exhaust manifold off the
tailpipe, all rusted, you know how much fun that is... absolutely
would not budge (next step is to shear off)... but squirt with
AeroKroil let sit for 5, the studs came right out. Whew! That
stuff rules.

My torque wrench got all funny (double-click on one bolt, then
no click the other... had to adjust down, then back up).  Got it
torqued OK (cold) but I think I oughta replace that wrench...



The brake system is a real scare, the master cyl leaks all over,
and the lines look ready to bust. Bought about 20' of steel
line will bend up a nice new tangle.

Oddly, NAPA carries the front brake hoses, the oddball ones that
have a bulkhead mount, but the hex-bracket type. Same part for
rear?! Cheap too, $13 each.

Motor, brakes, I drive it.
