My 1975 ford truck with 351M Engine eats the distributor drive gear up?

Jun 05, 2008 by Charles | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

My 1975 ford truck with 351M Engine eats the distributor drive gear up. I already changed the cam and gear, but it still does the same thing. What could the problem be?

Either the cam thrust bearing or the cam journal bearings are sloppy, allowing the cam to move in all sorts of interesting ways when the engine is running. End result is the gear gets eaten up, or worse, the cam gets in a bind, and breaks.

Buying an RV – Your Heart Listen To

Until we bought our first "RV" in December 1963 we were ordinary campers. Although my responsibilities have led us to change many times our house we always found a way around the field – usually on weekends. In December 1963 we bought a used 1948 Flxible Clipper to move with a stick, £ 200 Buick engine friction and Wimpy. The Flxible was "cheap", but gutting the interior and equipment as a mobile office, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom was smallnot. Then, the Buick engine had to go, followed by most of the rest of the transmission and we found that we had a very expensive investment. End. So good use out of it safely. We have over 160,000 miles on this bus and we have over them.

More must be better (wrong!) In 2000 I moved my (second time). The children were married and had turned off their children, so we decided to take the plunge. We used the rare opportunity to acquire aCustom Coach 1997 MCI with a huge discount on a pair of wannabe country singer. Your audience liked them (they said), but not like others. We decided to sell our house (which was too big for two people, none of which enjoy housework) and, instead of living full time in MCI. MCI was a job, is luxurious, a) awkward to drive, b) use very expensive and c), we were too spoiled to live in them full time. Even with us, wegot a big freezer and refrigerator have a huge. And frankly, it was like in a hallway (we did not have slide-out, but to feel).

Good Bye Motor Coach We held the MCI almost five years, but the last two we have not much use. And we really missed RVing. In the spring of 2005 I was a boy that MCI had seen the house was approached. Wanted to buy. He never had a camper, in any form before, and tried to discourage it. MostI was negative, the more saliva. We made a good profit on the sale (we had the money on Flxible so we thought now we even lost).

Introduction to own a fifth wheel trailer A few days later, on a whim, I ordered from a local RV dealer to see what could have imagined, and the fifth wheel trailer. Oh, we saw them, we also had been visiting friends when the RV parks. I always fear of trailers. I've seen too many accidentsTrailers on our roads. Moreover, as the radius of all children in a pickup truck with fifth wheel trailer. This seller had to provide an answer for every objection and a long list of very satisfied customers. I gave him a piece of change we need (including the addition of a freezer 12 volt, found miraculously). We sold our Toad (1952 Henry J, which is now a classic, it was considered junk when we bought it) and bought a Ford 250 pickup with 4 doors. AFirst, take the thing was almost like driving a motorhome, but we have not read the brief, because it affects the ability of the combination rotary. (There is now a production company of washers that can be connected to a short pickup bed, without compromising the turning circle).
