    most are small because the DC inverter generators are on the smaller portable size.

    Large diameter, high output stator

    OK, so a bit renewed interest in the stator concept. Since I am now going with a 7-1/4" triple disc button clutch, there is room to mount a magnet ring the largest stator I found for an industrial engine is a 60 amp for Kohler engine I can work with the OD.... but the issue is the 2.75" ID...

    Mercruiser 5.0 replacement

    The valve hung open is now bent. The shiny parts on the valve are where the valve and piston were intimate My guess is the overheat was significant enough to cause the valve to stick, or the exhaust is leaking and the valve stem is rusty.

    Scissors-like abnormal noise from 5.7

    Its not the mechanical fuel pump. they either work, or they dont - its pretty much that simple. do your troubleshooting vs firing the parts cannon my guess is you have crud in your fuel system, which is now in the carb or fuel pump or anti-siphon valve, or pickup tube strainer if its dying...

    1997 5.7L thunderbolt ignition. Slow crank

    TBI motors got the "swirl port" heads as GM got their butt spanked on the LT1 reverse cooling by both John Evans (on the cooling system) and the patent on the Ricardo combustion chamber. in 1996, the Ricardo patent hurdle was cleared when the vortec heads came out the swirl port heads were...

    Scissors-like abnormal noise from 5.7

    when was the last time the alignment was done and the u-joints checked? valve guide seals are common issues on Small Block Chebbies......because GM cheaped out on them in the engine assembly plant. I wouldnt think twice about that, as its common. takes about 2 hours to change them while the...

    1997 5.7L thunderbolt ignition. Slow crank

    That motor is a TBI swirl port motor. not worth it unless it was the last running block on the planet and you had to rescue yourself from death. that is a significant step backwards from a vortec headed motor
