Working smarter not harder today.

I will say, even if this set is a bust it did show me that even though gooseneck dies are really convenient, they only work well if you're only making small shit on a 20 ton press

These dies are similar in size with Swags offerings and only have clearance for a 2" leg so anything larger than that will not work



This is where I've gotta say, go big or go home

Least I saved myself some money

 

LMAO I actually used a thicker head gasket to reduce compression ratio. I wanted this thing to run on the shittiest gas imaginable

 

I enjoy carrying around an extea 100lbs of tools with me, but otherwise my fat ass will get right on that!

 

I'm a dummy dum ... what do you mean by 2" leg?

 

You know it was only at 9.5 to 1 before? It would basically run on anything as it came. You just killed power

 

Mmmmmmmmm unintentional fuck ups



In my defense I went at this with only small air cooled power equipment knowledge, I'd never rebuilt or done extensive work on automotive engines before deciding I was going to completely rebuild this truck

 

I had also decked the block to make sure I had the best headmaster seal as the PO overheated it

 

The length of each piece as you look at it now

There's a minimum you'd want on the piece to the left of the die at the bend (the left leg on the V in yellow)

The piece coming over and around above the V (purple) can't be more than 2" when you make that bend a full 90 degrees otherwise it'll hit the die

 

Oh okay, cool. Thats what I thought you ment but wasn't sure. Thankfully I don't think any of my brackets have 2" bends that tight together so I should be good with the swag kit. I'd make my own but honestly with the time involved setting up the shop for everything else, it'll be more efficient to just pay them for it

 

On mine this happens when my X axis tube isn't very clean.

 

Lime Away

 

Oh for sure; you're talking commercial setting vs some dude in his garage that's making shit up as he goes

 

inflate to 50psi to compensate

I'm sooo glad it's not sitting idle waiting to get sold a a garage sale for pennies after my demise.

 

The problem with that is who is willing to go to prison for you and you aren't aware you need help. It's really shitty for the family but they take the
