              DIY parts washer system

              I couldn't pass this one up.

              This is an old junk drill that's attached to a SBC oil pump down in a bucket. There's a return tube that goes up to the basin this is all sitting under. plug the drill in and the fluid flows.

              No, it's not optimal, YES, it is ghetto - but with some old 'junk' laying around and a few spare minutes.. you get stuff like this

                Brilliant!!! I built an "injector cleaner" for our Lemons car last year and it worked pretty well. I used some short/large diameter threaded pipe with barbed nipples, rubber fuel line, and a stock 2.3 lower intake manifold/injector harness. I filled up the steel pipe with B12, pressurized the chamber to 50 psi with my air compressor, and pulsed the injectors with a 9V battery. At first the injectors were not spraying too great, but after a few minutes they were all shooting probably better than brand new...

                    the idea was stolen for the OP or fabricator who came up with it - very common in fab especially among weldors.

                    for instance, im going to steal the idea of the plate for re-tapping stud holes, its genius - no more messed up first and second row threads for me, or having to use a drill press

                          I don't want to detract from DFWMustangs but the mother of all home made tools thread can be found on The HAMB.

                              My goal in life is to not arrive at the grave in a well preserved body.
                              but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy shit!!!.. what a ride!"

                              1990 Foxbody GT for that ass
                              11 4 door

                                I made this valve spring compressor.

                                The frame is 1" square tube, the threaded part is 5/8" - 11 threaded rod. A thrust bearing is mounted on the end of the threaded rod to prevent scoring of the valve face.

                                Total cost was about $25.
