I have the manual for the 2001 but I have a 2002 I was just curious if it is the same procedure? I know the carrier for the 2001 is 69.00 and the carrier for the 2002 is 135.00 just wanna make sure there is no major differance

 

What do you mean by "adjusting" the bearings......There is no adjusting that I know of other then rotating the carrier in order to set the play in the chain.

More detail please .....

 

you know setting the tension on the rear axle tapered bearings, or shouyld i call it preload? what piston you gonna get scoundrel? there is a je 11.1:1 on ebay now for 150.00 with 9 hours left je piston on ebay

I was gonna get a stock piston but it was the same price as the one from mrhp stock comopression is something like 9.1:1 I will probably do my cams this winter after I rip my motor down and make sure everything is up to spec, I am really obsessive compulsive like that, wanna make sure nothing needs replacing I figure a set of gaskets are cheaper than a bottom end

 

I know about the piston I was just trying to figure out if the price was good and whether I should use a 11:1 or 11.5:1.

The preload was supposed to be set at 68 ft. lbs and then backed off and reapplied to I think 22-24 ft.lbs. Do not leave it at 68 ft.lbs!

 

so i need that big *** crows foot then huh? hey I called je pistons and talked to i think his name was helly anyway he said he could get me a piston for my ds for like 150.00 that is a littel better than stock but mrhp has additional gas porting or venting and some other stuff done to their pistons that is why they are a little bit more, I dont mind paying a little bit more for erics stuff has has done the dynowork, he has my respect, call and talk to randall at mrhp he is the man he will square you away
