  1. Thanks for the info Bob That clears up my concerns Thanks. Tony P
  2. Thanks Bob but I thought.008 was a bit tight especially the exhaust valve so I set them all at .009 hot even though the manual calls for .008. The cylinder head does have hardened valve seats and I run non ethanol fuel but I was concerned about the valves being pounded in the seats with .008 thou lash. Thanks. Tony P
  3. I had the same problem with my 32 ser. 60 exactly. I took the oil pan off and checked the oil pump. The piston check that controls the bypass was wore and gouged A new one was made in the lathe and made .001 “ larger on the OD to compensate for internal wear . A small washer was installed behind the piston spring . After a long run on a hot dat the oil pressure runs at 35/38 PSI at 45/50 MPH and 10/15 at idle I don’t know if this will help anyone but that cured mine TP32
  4. I had had exactly the SAME problem with my 32 ser. 60 Turns out the little bypass piston in the oil pump was wore and gouged. I made a new piston in the lathe and increased the OD by .001” . Also installed a small flat washer behind the spring . That fixed the problem and increased the oil pressure to 35/38 PSI even on a hot day and 10/15 at idle. Hope this helps for you. Tony
  5. Hi Doug use a soft flame Not a lot of heat needed because the material is thin and will turn a light blue.If it's S/S it will buff out. TP
  6. Hi Doug Your trim can be grazed with silver solder Not hard and it will never break if done correctly TP
