Well Hello There Horsepower Lovers!!
Another One Cracking Out!
Well these are getting lighter and lighter by the day! Both in terms of how many we get and also in terms of the work revolving around them! Of-course doing a lot of these are bound to push up the knowledge around them as well!
We've ran into a major hiccup stage with them at some point but we have worked through all of them and that was the best thing we could ever do, to keep pushing through the problems!
More than often it's the easy things that gets overlooked!
Easy To Miss!
One thing we noticed where we slipped up was the flex plates, sometimes they are warped or bent or even broken. Trust me you can even miss seeing that it is broken!
So for a slight bend to notice it while attached in a stationary is something that you would never ever see! What we do is we remove them entirely and then we fit them to lathe where the speed can be controlled!
Having control over the speed can make it easier to spot if the plate is warped!
This is why the flexplate has to be straight as from the factory! Because the torque converter runs on it and is bolted to it so having it bent is not a good thing! It will wear out the oil seal and the oil pump and you will be left with a catastrophic failure!
She's Fitted!
Okay so we have it fitted but we still have a valve body that we need to fit so the work is still far from done! Heeck I still need to remove the old stuff from the valve body before I can start so we need to leave her on the lift for a while!
Heck I still need to fill her up with oil after that as well oh and fitting the valve body is a task of its own!
It's a bit blurry but damn it is indeed squeaky clean right! Now let's finish up here!
The Heart Of It All!
This is going to be a quick one aswell! We are only going to swap out the solenoids on this set here! That outta fix the problem we are having!
This is also a test run though as it really is the first time we have bought these refurbished sets, the clients mostly agree to those over buying brand new ones!
Let's hope it's everything they say it is and that someone on their end didn't screw up badly!
