Kaiser Forum / Rusty bolt removal

« on: December 03, 2013, 05:03:57 PM »

When the exhaust manifold on my Henry-J broke I found another one on a Henry-J that had been sitting in the woods for 15++ years. After spending many hours trying to unbolt it's manifold a friend suggested I try using CorrosionX to loosen the bolts. So, I sprayed them heavily, let them sit for 15 minutes then sprayed them again and let then sit for another 30 minutes. Then to my surprise I was able to loosen the bolts with a small wrench. CorrosionX is a penetrating anti-corrosion fluid that works on corroded and heavily rusted connections. Try it, you'll like it

Henry J & Allstate Forum / Speedometer cable

« on: June 25, 2012, 11:11:39 AM »

I'm finally installing the speedometer cable and I ran into a couple of questions. When I first started rebuilding the car I replaced the rusted out floor so now when the cable comes out of the transmission instead of hanging from a support of some kind it lays on the exaust pipe. I'm going to install support clips for it but my question is how tight a turn can I make in the cable without causing problems? The other thing I found is the little shaft that the cable connects to in the back of the speedometer does not turn freely. It turns, but feels like there is some sort of resistance. Is this right or should I take it out and clean it?  Thanks for your help, Bob

I'm looking to buy a speedometer cable and drive gear (the little gear that the cable attaches to at the transmission) for my 1953 Henry-J with overdrive. Is there any place to buy these new? If not, does anyone have them used for sale? Thanks, Bob

Henry J & Allstate Forum / Size of overdrive fuse

« on: March 05, 2012, 10:26:03 AM »

Can anyone tell me what size fuse to use with the overdrive in my 53 Henry-J? I can't find the answer in the manual and the fuse that burned out looks like it was the original (can't read any of the letters or numbers). Thanks, Bob

Henry J & Allstate Forum / Oil filter cartridge number

« on: February 26, 2012, 10:46:29 PM »

I have a Purilator oil filter attached to my Henry-J engine, but no cartridge inside. Does anyone know the part number for the cartridge? There was a cartridge in it when I parked it 15 years ago. Oh well, it's just another part missing. I do have it running again and it runs like a new engine. It actually only has about 4000 miles on it since being rebuilt (in 1989). Thanks for all your help getting it running again. Bob
