Re: 63mm TB
Pretty good fit: Kinsler did the blades for me and fitted them...

Re: 63mm TB
Excelent work Lee.
Are the throttle blades off the shelf or custom made?

Re: 63mm TB
Q's:
Is there a flow rating for stock? How 'bout for 63mm? And with 63mm, where's the bottleneck inflow THEN, with stock non-ported plenum / IH's? AND... how well do they hold vac @ idle? When I re-assembled my TB after top end housecleaning, I could see no light around the blades, BUT, when I had the 2nd TB butterflies blocked with the restrictor gasket, I saw a BIG difference in steadiness of idle RPM, attributable ONLY to air leaking by sec butterflies that LOOKED sealed... |

Re: 63mm TB
Lee, you mentioned using a substitute for the DAG compound. What would that be?

Re: 63mm TB
Quote:
However, unless there is some kind of bonding agent, pure moly or tungsten will be removed in the presence of oil...which is likely to be present (to clean moly OR tungsten from my rifle barrels a combination of penetrating oil among other chemicals makes short work of either). So! I know you do you homework, and a dry lube like Moly makes a lot of sense, but I'm just curious what exactly is this moly stuff is mixed with that is being applied? Shrade's Parkerizing comes to mind as an agent that can be applied, that has some inherent dry lube abilities, and is impervious to (gun) oils. Then again, I wonder if Jerry's Gaskets has any of the original DAG stuff? |
