Hi List: I am currently in the midst of a full restoration to my chrome
bumper 74. As I am sealing up my freshly painted engine, I have a few
questions:
Pulley
I noticed on the inside of my crankshaft pulley there is a badly
deteriorated rubber ring. The rubber ring is not on the pulley hub, it is
on the back side of the pulley - about midway between the hub and the outer
edge - it almost appears that it is glued on. Any idea on the purpose and
how I might renew it?
Clutch fluid
I intend to switch my braking system over to silicone. My decision is based
primarily on the inability of the fluid to damage my new paint job. Now,
can I use this same fluid in the clutch system? I think I can, but every
reference to DOT5 I have read deals with the braking system.
Paint
Also, I used black engine paint (from Moss). After reading the can and
asking folks at my local auto parts store, I decided against using a primer
on the block. Well, last night I was browsing the Moss catalog and I
noticed it recommended using a primer for its line of paints (but I am not
sure if it applied to the engine block paint). What is the general practice
out there? Should I sand it down again and redo, this time with a primer?
Thanks guys & gals
