Default This is a special torch. Imported from Kazakhstan. You can't get it locally.

Self-refilling, non-haz, has a special timer on it as well.

Default hm I think you should consider syn oil

like redline 10w-40 or M1 15w-50

or even 5w-40 if your oil cooler will keep oil temps under 240F

Default Since when have you become our resident fluid expert?

And why would you run synthetic oil on a 29 y.o. car thats seen conventional oil all it's life.

Default wait! compress air alone was able to 'blow' that crimp out? wow, didn't thought of that!

Yeah, I saw u had to heat it to soften it. How much psi? dang, I guess over pressuring it &amp; blow a fish-mouth failure wasn't a concern...






yeah... I said 'fish-mouth' :P

Default Started at ~50psi, then gradually worked our way up to ~65, I think.

Blowing the line was definitely a concern. Neal kept giving me sith for being a Nancy about it.

We slowly increased pressure from 0 to our final pressure of 65. Heat application began around 40.

Default beacause syn > dino oil :-)

he will get better protection with lower viscosity and his engine will run cooler and more efficient due to less drag and friction
