    Ooops. Sorry about that. I forgot they divvied up the B7100s that way. I was just thinking "older".

    Just for fun and giggles, I investigated my B7100 (1994 version) exhaust manifold temperatures with a TIC. I set it to °F for...

    Neat chart. I wasn't aware they had a product that would fill a 20 thou gap! That must be a diameter measurement, not radius, right?

    There are Schrader valves and then there are Schrader valves. Well, different valve cores anyway. Compression testers should be fitted...

    I was being facetious. The right bearing was a sliding fit but the left bearing is smaller.

    So far in this thread: B7200: not press fit. L3901: press fit B7800: one of each.

    I may be a bit late to the party here, but I used 1" dom tube for the bushings and 1" cold-rolled for the pins. Before cutting the pins...
