Piston C-clip installer

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Quick question: Will the C-clip installer tool (part # CCI-402) install wrist pin retaining rings LARGER than .790"? Mine are .882" and are used on an old Harley Shovelhead piston/wristpin set up. Thanks for the help. Bruce

BBC valve guides

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I purchased a old 402 bbc and found that one of the cylinder heads has 3 worn intake valve guides. I was quoted a price of just less than $300 for repair at United Auto Supply in LaCrosse WI. I think this sucks… is this something that I could repair on my own with the correct tooling to save me some $$$?

I note that you sell an installation tool for LS crank reluctor wheels. I’m in the process of installing a MEFI fuel injection system on my Olds 455. I’ve purchased a 58x GM reluctor which I will machine to adapt to my crank using the existing keyway. Can you provide me with info. on how to clock the reluctor with respect to the sensor and crank TDC so it works with the MEFI computer?

Interesting in your MT-68 multitool. Will this kit work with any grinder or is a specific grinder required? I have a Baldor 3/4HP 3/4" arbor grinder will this kit work with my grinder?
