    Series V clutch problems

    Alpine sat for about a month, I went to drive it last week and the clutch pedal went to the floor. It was visibly leaking at the firewall just like the brakes were before I rebuilt them. I ordered a rebuild kit from SS and installed it this week, no change. I pulled the bleeder valve from...

    Crank rebuild specs

    Got a call from the machine shop and the section I copied from the Haynes book isn't detailed enough for a rebuild. Does anyone have all of the rebuild numbers and tolerances they would need for a 1725? I tried searching but couldn't find the tolerances.
