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...

Made a stand to hold material cage material while i set everything else up.

What's with the "stolen" stuff?

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.

Good post, I just got a good idea from one of theirs.

Good thread, now I know who to hit up when I need tools.

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.
