Let me see if we have any new ones to snap a picture of. But most definitely should have a slight cone shape to it, which I believe is to help keep tension on the nut or similar, not 100% positive though.Quote:

Dropped it off at the body shop this weekend. I should soon have a better idea as to the extent of the damage from being rear ended just before the NG.
I ordered some new ones. I'm making shims to allow the cotter pin hole to line up at the correct torque, too.
heh, I don't even torque them, impact them until I feel they are tight enough, done. I probably torque to 500 ft-lbs, lol.
I don't torque mine either. I tighten with a breaker bar and tighten til it feels right.
As for what I got done. I got a few more things cleaned up and on the engine. Gapped the plugs and installed them.
Starting to look more like an engine now

installed the charcoal seat cover for the rear seat bottom finally. its not perfect but its better than having that piece be the only part of the seats that is still cream colored.
You seem to be missing a camshaft from each head sir ;)Quote:
