I checked the number on my valve covers this morning and it's seemed way lower then all the ranges of numbers to go by to tell if it's a forged rod motor or PMR's
1229561 - 20 dec 99
anyone know, my guess is forged, but anyone got a definitive answer?
Start of production thru 1425746 are Forged Rods
1425747 thru 1440712 are Powdered Rods
1440713 thru 1498318 are Forged Rods
1498319 thru final production run are all powdered
I went to many tool suppliers and even a hydraulic shop and none could find me this 5/16" recessed square pipe plug driver...
so I ended up getting a 12" long peice of 5/16 keystock for $1.50 and cutting a 2" chunk and using that with a 12pt socket to easily remove the plug
and yes I confirmed I do have forged rods mmmmm hybrids....
