First things first: I found this in the Smilies section and am finding it difficult to continue with my thoughts right now, LOL! :Boob2: Ok,...
Thank you. I've rebuilt quite a few brake calipers in my days. Seals would be part of a rebuild for sure. I will say though the brakes are 99%...
Flushed and replaced the fluid today. There was some gooey crap in the bottom of the master cylinder; the video barely shows it. Front brake...
Thanks for the reply. There's nothing wrong with OEM, in fact for street use most of the time it's best. That's more in line with what I'm going...
Yeah, sorry. I was thinking about air "in the lines". *embarrassed*
It's dark now, but it was killing me. I took the master cylinder cap off and found two things that may or may not be contributing. (1) The...
Thanks. I've never had brakes grab like this. There's just no smooth transition. I don't think fluid would cause it, thus I'm thinking pads. Who...

That is my thinking, thus doing the deed. :)
Since I have it opened up, I've gone ahead and ordered new timing chains. After trying to get it all lined up, I think they might be a bit worn....
Yes, it seems you and I are having quite the conversation just the two of us, lol! Anyway, again I appreciate the input. I am applying what I know...
Protractor on the screen? Lol, hopefully my camera shots were close to on center. And yes, I did tighten the tensioner (manual unit) but only by...
What do you all thing of this? The gear has movement inward and outward and the chain has a lot of slack. I've read slack in the chain is normal,...
Here's better pics of the cam gear index lines not lining up with the crankshaft index line. I'm pretty much on target with the camera angle(s),...
Oh, it's definitely a scam ... by Photofuckit themselves! It came from a legit source. Seriously, this is how they are trying to reel you in....
I greatly appreciate again your response. Looking to wrap this up sometime this week. I'll keep you posted.
