The crush sleve takes about 250 to 300 ft. lbs. of torque to crush. After it is crushed, there should be a certain amount of torque (20 in/lbs for new bearings and a little less for used bearings) it takes to turn the yoke with just the pinion shaft installed.

THe rear ends all back together, and its not over tightened tight, cause we drove it for a couple of miles and the nose of the case wasnt getting hot.

retro heres a question for you, ive been thinking of puttign a fuel pump inline to help get fuel to the carb quicker(befor i start it). And on the newer fuel injection cars, theres a few seconds where the pump kicks on to prime the system, how do i wire that up? But then when its running i need it constant.

Wishing I could say goodby to the 305 in my 85 sq. Love what you are doing to the MC, it's a good platform.

Even tho today was the nicest its been in awile, all i got done was pulled the starter off and took the converter bolts out, Oh and i jacked the car up a lil more, it was a little clostraphobic.

The only thing i did as far as the monte goes today, I bought it an oil filter XD.

Man i have to get my priorities straight, hell, the engines not even together yet lol.

In my defense, the oil filters were on sale, so i had to.

At least you have a plan for the filter. I've bought a lot of stuff just because they were on clearance and I might have a use for them on something eventually.
