Update...6 smooth strokes, 3/4", with 10 seconds between strokes.  Result: no bubbles, no building of hydraulic pressure, and I think I'm good.  Thanks for catching the instructions error...my Raybestos instructions have the same words and graphics (give or take) including the errors.

  I assume then, that as long as there are no air bubbles coming up that I am good?
 


1. Correct. No stoppage of the piston.

2. yes

You can't compress fluid if the line is open on the other end. You may notice a little more resistance when the air is displaced and replaced by fluid, not not a stoppage of the piston.

Also what type of cam do I want? Hydraulic, solid? I don't know what the difference is.]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:03:51 +0000 http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11015&PID=98871#98871 6 Cylinder Engine Repair and Modifications : 258 performance http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11015&PID=98869#98869 Author: 1974Javelin

Do you think it it cheaper to buy a new 4.0l head for $400, or get one at a u pull it for about 75-100 bucks and have it rebuilt?]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:59:44 +0000 http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11015&PID=98869#98869 Suspension, Steering, Brakes & Wheels : Constant Stream of Bubbles While Bleeding Brakes http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10860&PID=98868#98868 Author: steeters

Also, when I clicked on the link it says that if your caliper bleeder screws are facing straight up (mine are) that all the air might not escape with brake bleeding.  If i run out of all options, i trust that I could remove the caliper, hold the bleeder screw at a proper angle so that all trapped air will be vented, and then permanently re-install the calipers?  Sound good?
 
Thanks again for the input.

WOW, that sounds like his instructions! WRONG text for using the tubes - same bit as above for the plugs!
I've done both, I guess I DO wait or push the piston slowly and let it out slowly then pause before the next push. I never gave it thought, I just do it automatically.

Well the guy i was getting the carbs from decided to use them himself so I will put this idea on the back burner for now.]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:54:07 +0000 http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11510&PID=98866#98866 Suspension, Steering, Brakes & Wheels : Constant Stream of Bubbles While Bleeding Brakes http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10860&PID=98864#98864 Author: poormansMACHINE
