> Apologies if this has already been discussed=2C but I found this today an=
d as an owner of an original ?black plated? California car. I have mixed fe=
elings on this one. Firstly it is worth reading up on the announcement and =
links:

d meaning - the car was an original California car. Unfortunately my plates=
 have really deteriorated=2C and after a few steep driveways (you know how =
low our cars are) I have bent them in half one by one until they broke in h=
alf. I only ever had one plate on the rear and swapped it ? the current one=
 is hanging on by a thread. So I was looking to see if someone would reprod=
uce them and I remember a link to someone who ?unofficially? remade them pu=
blished on this list a few years ago. These new ones will reportedly use th=
e same dye press tooling as the originals out of Folsom Prison (not sure wh=
ere I read that)=2C but unlike the original these will have a modern reflec=
tive coating and more importantly be available for use on any vehicle=2C bo=
th old and new=2C or car=2C truck or motorcycles. I know how I feel about a=
 Prius with black plates!
>=20

 with an original look=2C or do I want to give up on that and bite the bull=

 4 are red tipped.  the red tipped ones appear weaker than the yellow tippe=

 springs that were in the o/d are exactly like the ones I received today.  =
while perusing a type A repair video I noticed that the guy doing the repai=

&gt=3B Apologies if this has already been discussed=2C but I found this tod=
ay and as an owner of an original ?black plated? California car. I have mix=
ed feelings on this one. Firstly it is worth reading up on the announcement=
 and links:<br>&gt=3B <br>&gt=3B Classic California License Plates to Hit S=
treets this Summer: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/newsrel/n=

mv/detail/legacyplates/index &lt=3Bhttps://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail=
/legacyplates/index&gt=3B<br>&gt=3B <br>&gt=3B So why the mixed feelings=2C=
 well original black plates had some value and meaning - the car was an ori=
ginal California car. Unfortunately my plates have really deteriorated=2C a=
nd after a few steep driveways (you know how low our cars are) I have bent =
them in half one by one until they broke in half. I only ever had one plate=
 on the rear and swapped it ? the current one is hanging on by a thread. So=
 I was looking to see if someone would reproduce them and I remember a link=
 to someone who ?unofficially? remade them published on this list a few yea=
rs ago. These new ones will reportedly use the same dye press tooling as th=
e originals out of Folsom Prison (not sure where I read that)=2C but unlike=
 the original these will have a modern reflective coating and more importan=
tly be available for use on any vehicle=2C both old and new=2C or car=2C tr=
uck or motorcycles. I know how I feel about a Prius with black plates!<br>&=
gt=3B <br>&gt=3B So what I really want to do is replace my plates with the =
same number etc with an original look=2C or do I want to give up on that an=
d bite the bullet for a vanity plate with the new black?<br>&gt=3B <br>&gt=

moving Broken Studs from Cast Iron Manifolds<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &g=
t=3B  <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B This is method that I use to remo=
ve broken bolts and studs from cast iron exhaust manifolds. With a broken s=
tud in a manifold=2C as long as I can get a small pair of long nose locking=
 pliers onto the screw=2C bolt or stud then the rest is typically easy=2C i=
f you are patient.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B   <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <=
br>&gt=3B &gt=3B I heat only the exposed stud or bolt with a torch to cherr=
y red and then shock cool it with a wet rag=2C followed by some penetrating=
 solution like "Kroil" or "PB Blaster".  Then I carefully clamp the needle =
nose locking pliers on the end of the exposed stud and GENTLY rock it back =
and forth ever so slightly.  If you get any movement whatsoever back and fo=
rth the rest will come=2C if you're patient.  Repeat the heating and shock =
cooling process followed by the locking pliers as many times as it takes.  =
With patience and luck the broken stud will progressively unscrew a bit far=
ther with each application of heat and penetrating oil until it will unscre=
w all the way.  <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B  <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>=
&gt=3B &gt=3B I did this recently with a BJ8 Manifold where 7 of the 8 stud=

rry=2C I don't think they mess with the journals so there should be no prob=

t=3B My block has been over-bored and after 13 years of service wouldn't qu=
ite clean up at 88 mm. I'll be ordering the 88.5 mm pistons. I like the DW =
route because it allows them to use lighter pistons and more modern metric =
rings they say will cut down on blow-by. CR shouldn't change unless I do cu=
t the pistons and then it won't increase much. I'm waiting to hear what nee=
ds to be done to the head. If it needs to be decked too a lot of things mig=
ht change.I haven't micced the old head gasket=2C but i'll need to compare =
it to the new one at some point. Even though I don't think I'll be driving =
it at high revs very much I'm still going to change out to the narrow drive=
 belt just because I can incorporate a vibration damper.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <=

&gt=3B &gt=3B     Hi Bill=2C don't let them grind the cam journals=2C it se=

bearings for the 100 years ago but they would<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B     be hard =
to find these days. The 100 block is very soft iron=2C my car<br>&gt=3B &gt=
=3B     had a massive ring groove even though the engine had only done 8000=
<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B     miles from new. I had it bored to 3 5/8 and sleeved i=
t back to 3 1/2<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B     using good quality iron liners from LA=
 Sleeve. I used semi dished<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B     plus 0.060 pistons from JP=
 pistons here in Australia. They give a<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B     final compress=
ion ratio of about 9.5 to 1. I would see no problem<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B     wi=
th machining the top of the pistons back flush as it would only be<br>&gt=
=3B &gt=3B     a very small amount. My head gasket is 0.040 thick composite=
<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B     material with steel rings around the bores. As long a=

&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B This is method that I use to r=
emove broken bolts and studs from cast<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B iron exhaust manifo=
lds. With a broken stud in a manifold=2C as long as I can<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B =
get a small pair of long nose locking pliers onto the screw=2C bolt or stud=
<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B then the rest is typically easy=2C if you are patient.<br=

t=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B I heat only the exposed stud or bolt with a torch to che=
rry red and then<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B shock cool it with a wet rag=2C followed =
by some penetrating solution like<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B "Kroil" or "PB Blaster".=
 Then I carefully clamp the needle nose locking<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B pliers on =
the end of the exposed stud and GENTLY rock it back and forth<br>&gt=3B &gt=
=3B ever so slightly. If you get any movement whatsoever back and forth the=
<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B rest will come=2C if you're patient. Repeat the heating a=
nd shock cooling<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B process followed by the locking pliers as=
 many times as it takes. With<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B patience and luck the broken=
 stud will progressively unscrew a bit farther<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B with each a=
pplication of heat and penetrating oil until it will unscrew all<br>&gt=3B =

rnals=2C it seems undersize<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B cam bearings are not ob=

o but I believe there are no problems with them now.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=
=3B Vandervell did make bearings for the 100 years ago but they would<br>&g=
t=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B be hard to find these days. The 100 block is very soft i=
ron=2C my car<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B had a massive ring groove even though=
 the engine had only done 8000<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B miles from new. I ha=
d it bored to 3 5/8 and sleeved it back to 3 1/2<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B us=
ing good quality iron liners from LA Sleeve. I used semi dished<br>&gt=3B &=
gt=3B &gt=3B plus 0.060 pistons from JP pistons here in Australia. They giv=
e a<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B final compression ratio of about 9.5 to 1. I wo=
uld see no problem<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B with machining the top of the pi=
stons back flush as it would only be<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B a very small a=
mount. My head gasket is 0.040 thick composite<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B mate=
rial with steel rings around the bores. As long as the pistons<br>&gt=3B &g=

=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B This is method that I use to remove=
 broken bolts and studs from cast iron exhaust manifolds. With a broken stu=

gt=3B &gt=3B I heat only the exposed stud or bolt with a torch to cherry re=
d and then shock cool it with a wet rag=2C followed by some penetrating sol=
ution like "Kroil" or "PB Blaster". Then I carefully clamp the needle nose =
locking pliers on the end of the exposed stud and GENTLY rock it back and f=
orth ever so slightly. If you get any movement whatsoever back and forth th=
e rest will come=2C if you're patient. Repeat the heating and shock cooling=
 process followed by the locking pliers as many times as it takes. With pat=
ience and luck the broken stud will progressively unscrew a bit farther wit=
h each application of heat and penetrating oil until it will unscrew all th=
e way. <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B <br>&gt=3B &gt=

ar<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B had a massive ring groove even though the engine had on=

leeved it back to 3 1/2<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B using good quality iron liners fro=
m LA Sleeve. I used semi dished<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B plus 0.060 pistons from JP=
 pistons here in Australia. They give a<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B final compression =
ratio of about 9.5 to 1. I would see no problem<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B with machi=

 a very small amount. My head gasket is 0.040 thick composite<br>&gt=3B &gt=

=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B This is method that I use to remove broken bolts and stud=
s from cast <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B iron exhaust manifolds. With a broken stud in=
 a manifold=2C as long as I <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B can get a small pair of long =
nose locking pliers onto the screw=2C bolt <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B or stud then t=
he rest is typically easy=2C if you are patient.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br=
>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B I hea=
t only the exposed stud or bolt with a torch to cherry red and <br>&gt=3B &=
gt=3B then shock cool it with a wet rag=2C followed by some penetrating <br=
>&gt=3B &gt=3B solution like "Kroil" or "PB Blaster". Then I carefully clam=
p the <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B needle nose locking pliers on the end of the expose=
d stud and GENTLY <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B rock it back and forth ever so slightly=
. If you get any movement <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B whatsoever back and forth the r=
est will come=2C if you're patient. <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B Repeat the heating an=
d shock cooling process followed by the locking <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B pliers as=
 many times as it takes. With patience and luck the broken <br>&gt=3B &gt=
=3B stud will progressively unscrew a bit farther with each application of =
<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B heat and penetrating oil until it will unscrew all the wa=
y.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<=
br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B I did this recently with a BJ8 Manifold where 7 of =
the 8 studs were <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B frozen and/or broken off. Some of them h=
ad just ?? of stud proud of <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B the manifold. All seven came =
out using this process.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>=
&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B This process may work on an al=
uminum manifold IF and ONLY IF you are <br>&gt=3B &gt=3B careful not to use=
 too much heat near the aluminum.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B =

 I believe there are no problems with them now.<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B Van=
dervell did make bearings for the 100 years ago but they would<br>&gt=3B &g=
t=3B &gt=3B be hard to find these days. The 100 block is very soft iron=2C =
my car<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B had a massive ring groove even though the en=
gine had only done 8000<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B miles from new. I had it bo=
red to 3 5/8 and sleeved it back to 3 1/2<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B using goo=
d quality iron liners from LA Sleeve. I used semi dished<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &=
gt=3B plus 0.060 pistons from JP pistons here in Australia. They give a<br>=
&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B final compression ratio of about 9.5 to 1. I would see=
 no problem<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B with machining the top of the pistons b=
ack flush as it would only be<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B a very small amount. =
My head gasket is 0.040 thick composite<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B material wi=
th steel rings around the bores. As long as the pistons<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &g=
t=3B are no more than flush with the top of the bore you should have no<br>=

 MLS head gasket. I<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B suppose I could use a shim to c=

&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B I'm planning to do several fit=

for interference and clearances with some<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B modeling =
clay. I've heard there is an optimal piston to head<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B &gt=3B=
 dimension to reduce the squish area while still allowing<br>&gt=3B &gt=3B =
&gt=3B clearance for rod thermal expansion. If you have any<br>&gt=3B &gt=
