The time has come to rebuild the original EA motor in my '72.
I am most of the way though teardown, I will add some photos of the worn parts in a later post. I am trying to figure out the size of the tool to use to remove this fastener, the cover for the second oil pressure relief piston and spring. ![]() Factory service manual has it as M14 internal head socket. I searched for it but all I could find is the AST Tool # S 54 X-14 at the link listed below http://www.asttool.com/detail_page.php?too...r=S%2054%20X-14 Does anyone know if this is the correct tool? Thanks for looking, Mike |

To remove that triple square fastener give it two licks with a hammer and unscrew it with your fingers.. Might need a little help from a 3/8 extension.
The most miles I have seen from a TIV is 321k.. Off the shelf oil wasn't crap until 2001... Engines that were well worn beyond that point didn't care so much about the oil they used.. Fresh, tight and well built high performing engines are much more critical oil wise.. |
