    oil press. gauge

    Hi everyone, haven't been on in a while, I put a new motor in a couple years ago and the oil pressure was to high, a little over 80 cold, but dropped to 30-40 hot, I don't get to drive a lot so I didn't worry much, a few times the gauge stuck from going to far, then the gauge stuck for good so I...

    caliper springs

    The wheels turn freely and maybe I'm not used to the hy/bst yet.Im running stock pads and I really like having good brakes again.It just seems like they hold a 1/2 second or so longer than they used to when I let off the brake pedal.Probably just me.

    caliper springs

    I've got about 100 miles on since installing hydroboost/o-ring calipers,new lines etc.I notice the brakes don't seem to release as quickly as before.I read in several threads some guys were taking the spring out of calipers is this why or does it just keep the pads from wearing to quickly.

    flexible brake lines

    slow release Got the steering/cyl. centered had a good drive mon.before work.Damn its nice to have brakes again.Although the brakes when you press hard and let off dont seem to release immediatly,like a half second delay.Is this why some people leave the spring out of the o-ring calipers.
