    "lock tight" on flywheel attach fasteners?

    By the way, thanks (belatedly) to all who replied to the original post. Jim

    "lock tight" on flywheel attach fasteners?

    "...Diligent use of Loctite thread locking compounds does more to improve vehicle reliability than anything else, at any price..." Really!? Who'd have thought it...

    "lock tight" on flywheel attach fasteners?

    Greetings Gents, a couple questions if you don't mind: Auto hobbyist here; the Chevrolet Chevelles enthusiasts are discussing loctite red for flywheel and pressure plate fasteners. Of course there are differing opinions. Last time I installed a Chevy flywheel or clutch was 1969, so I don't even...

    Were 60's Chevelle front wheel spindles heat-treated?

    Greetings gentlemen, I frequent a Chevelles automobile enthusiast forum, and it seems that one of the posters there installed some offshore-sourced aftermarket spindles and ball joints on his Chevelle; an ensuing failure was blamed on an incorrect taper in the spindle's ball joint attachment...

    Is Propeller Spiraling Slipstream a myth or provable fact?

    from an earlier posting: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2077/1555927397_121e7387b7.jpg?v=0 This is a C-130A (three-bladed propeller). In fact, the yaw due to slipstream and P-factor is nose-left. The left outboard engine (#1 engine) is the critical engine.

    Is Propeller Spiraling Slipstream a myth or provable fact?

    I guesss it is tracing the vortex trail. I'm no whiz at technical stuff. Math stopped just short of differential equations and physics was "physics lite". I think I remember the explantion of thrust from a propeller--as explained to me those many years ago--as being a result of air being...

    Is Propeller Spiraling Slipstream a myth or provable fact?

    I'm not an engineer; just an old semi-retired multi-engine prop driver. I'm not sure if you can "prove" that the prop slipstream "swirls" but you can sure see it. I think I linked to a picture below. The Hercules Allison/Hamilton-Standard combination rotates the prop clockwise as viewed from aft...
