While I was enjoying the idea of having my Savage put back in order since my last airial display incident, I thought that all was well with the rebuild I had completed over the past few days.
The TVP'S striaghten nicely, I actually found better screws and bolts to replace the stripped out cross member supports that are worthless for resizing bigger screws.
I installed two aluminum supports to replace the trashed ones. the chassis is now stronger than it ever was.
My consern about the tranny turn out to be an internally sprung E-clip, that seats on the input shaft, inside the tranny. A quick openning of the tranny casing, and the E-clip was reinstallled easilly.
It seemed that luck was on my side for a change.
Remembering that my one-way bearring was starting to slip abit durring my last time bashing, I thought it best to clean it up from the oils beginning to infiltrate the roto start plate.
The motor, having close to 4 gallons through it, never really had a propper seal job.
I figured,... just do it, as burnt out as I was from rebuilding 90% of thr truck.
Now keep in mind,.... The mill was running fine, up until this rebuild.
It showed no indication of what I'm about to show you guys.
As a matter of fact, the mill was just becoming in to the realm of having a P & P job in the very near future.....NOT.
