      Tire valve stem extenders

      I'm old enough to be your mother and I am right now installing new shocks and a new blower motor on my Ford. You'll never learn from posting questions. You learn from doing.

      Linda,

      I see that you've been posting on this thread for about five years (six-ish, now), and you're old and have an attitude. I like that. And I'll bet that my Bro and I are at least as old as you, if not older. We did our first restoration on a 1956 MGA when it was seven years old.

      My Bro and I are prepping our 'new' old 1993 Itasca to get on the road, after our five year hiatus for heart and cancer issues. Shortly after we bought it, we had the rear end rebuilt with a lower gear ratio to suit our new Colorado mountain ways. We also put on new tires all around.

      Unfortunately, we weren't paying attention when the technicians did the install, and they put/left the valve stems aimed every which way but correct. Now, we are planning on bustin' all the tires off the rims, installing new stems (hopefully, aimed in an accessible direction), and maybe putting on extenders. But maybe not.

      It looks like, with the proper stems, installed in the right orientation, with the wheels mounted in a rational and logical  manner, we should be able to get at everything with a minimum of hassle. Which brings us (finally) to an actual question...

      Do you, with all your experience and research, have a favorite or recommended valve stem style, manufacturer, or source that you would be willing to share with us? I've googled the hell out of'em, and think I've narrowed it down to under a hundred choices, but I'm always willing and excited to solicit the wisdom of those more experienced than myself.

      Either way, thanks for looking out for we ToyMotorHeads.

      Stock exhaust vs Hedman header - 22R?

      Interesting - thanks for the input.  Mines definitely the flange gasket.  Funny how a pedestrian part like that can be an issue even with a world class company. I had an 89 Mitsubishi Van Wagon, which was a 4 cylinder built for the world market in huge volumes by a world class engine builder. It cracked exhaust manifolds to the point I'd yank them at the U Pull even when there for another vehicle.  Felt bad that after I sold it a couple years ago, I later found a small pile of manifolds I had forgotten about.

      back in the day, toyota knew about the problem and would replace the manifold for free. in the 22r they redesigned the shield and the cracking stopped
