Default Good tip controled heating

Hi Alex

Good tip for installing ring type parts. Here is a picture of preping to install a ring gear on flywheel using your suggested method. I find that 20 minutes at 350 degrees F works great for ring gears. I have an old oven in the shop for heating parts and making lunch.

Cheers Phil

Default Amazing

I love this site, I shal be forever gratefull to Geoff for having started such a great tool for those of us that are addicted to OD Green (with a smattering of rust).

Alex - Thank you very much I will give that a try and let you know how it comes out.

Phil - I appreciate all your input, you are absolutly correct on the damage that I have done to my bushing, fortunatly I have only bent over a tiny piece of it so I should be able to get it straight to proceed with the cold hot procedure. How many are in a gross? I have 2 cmp's to do and if a UC uses them I have 3 of those. Let me know how many are there and how much and maybe I will go halfs with you.

Gary

That shows how old some of us are, and how young the others are.

A gross is twelve dozen.

144 items in a gross.
