    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm torquing down my Valve Cover, my first Realgasket gasket. It says 15 inch pounds of torque. I do have a inch pound torque wench I bought by accident. I have the bolts all torqued down to 8 inch pounds I'm chicken to take them to the full 15 inch pounds! Anyone who uses these gaskets, can you give me some advice. The gasket looks like it is already mashing down. I'm not sure how accurate the wrench is. I don't want to over tighten.:!: Thank You

I was having problems with my coil relay job. So I SEARCHED the electrical threads. There it was the same problem I was having. Do not use 87A tab on the relay for coil hot wires as it is always hot. My right coil was hot when the key was off and no spark on 2 & 3 when the key on. Connected both hots to coil, to tab 87. I got a ton of nice white spark on all four. Just never thought of searching threads before. Thank You for helping me not look like a Dumb A$$.:D

Just so you know, there ARE some relays out there (I just got a couple at Advance Auto) that have two 87 terminals, instead of an 87 and an 87a. If it has two 87s, they both come on when the relay is activated. That works well for powering the coils individually or running one wire to both coils and a dedicated wire for your sense wire on the r/r. :D
