Another one bites the dust

Didn't Lee Majors document his ARC rod fairly well in his Briggs overhaul thread?

It is quite an attractive piece, that rod.

ARC rod is pretty much the berries as far as I'm concerned. I only wish they offered an H beam with the oil scoop. That would be basically indestructible.

I broke the rear end in my truck.

That funny. Not that you broke your truck, but that you said you were gonna fix it and go easy on it. Maybe if you pull a couple plug wires.

Tell us, Flyinhillbilly, how did you break it?

I got a couple of 14 bolts out of 77-78 Chevy 1 tons I could sell ya.
But you got to come to Indiana to pick it up.

I'm pretty sure that positive intake manifold pressure is to blame for my rear end woes. I'm thinking I'll see if I can find a 10.5" 14 bolt and just upgrade the whole axle while I'm at it.

I'm pretty sure that Positive Intake Manifold Pressure is to blame

Sounds like a personal problem.

Take it to the off-topic section, please.

Like I said I got some in the garage! $300.00 and you come to Indiana to pick it up.

I'm actively looking for one of those, but I bet I can find one just a bit closer.

Not that it would have helped......
But has anybody else tried to make a magnetic oil plug???
I tried but don't think the HF magnet I used was strong enough. And I was scared of it coming loose inside the Aluminum block.

Get some of those super strong neodymium magnets. They come in all shapes and sizes--get one small enough to fit on the outside end of the drain plug and presto.

Those things are so strong they'll magnetize the drain plug in no time.

Yes, I'm bored.

Those stock rods are really crap.

HillBilly, After careful examination of all the data provided in this post, Going over pictures and testimonies I have figured out the problem with your Honda motor.......The piston is supposed to go on the "inside" of the motor. Helping people on DIY is so rewarding...

;D I think you nailed it
