My bad. I was distracted by a call and didn't catch what I'd typed. No magic Felpro gaskets for the 8.1.

I think it has to do with time exposed to oil or coolant, not necessarily mileage. The silicone imprinted seals in the gaskets swell and split. Fel-pro makes a nice gasket for the L31 but I don't...

Wow. That's a helluva find. What is the lowest numerical ratio available for the 14 bolt? I'd be looking to gear that thing for 1500 RPM on the highway. Maybe it's time to step up to a 6L90E to...

Nice. I wonder how many of us there are that appreciate what you're doing with your van. Our cutaway chassis vehicles don't have any resonators. FYI if you decide to do a "Rear disk swap" to the...

The lever (green arrow) is part of a spring wound around the cable take-up. The lever contacts the stop (blue arrow) when the brake pedal is released. This causes the spring to "unwind"...

Yes, the cylinders are from 13 X 2 1/2 brakes. 1 1/16" diameter cylinder. Carquest number EW79767. The original number is EW79768.

You can tell if your park brake has the auto tensioner by...

I probably should have mentioned this before your swap. The Savana / Express HB Master Cylinder is "quick takeup" design. On our buses with 3 1/2 X 13 rear drums, several factors including this MC...
