    Most likely a dumb question?

    Ok - Here it goes. Is it possible to start your engine to let it warm up for valve-adjustment without having the motor fastened to the motor-mounts? Or is the thing gona wobble all over the place & mess something up? The reason I ask is I have to remove the mounting bolts, to lower the...

    Rocker arm totaly loose...

    So I figured out today that the strange knocking noise coming from my carb/intake was actually coming from the valve cover. When I removed the valve cover I found that the rocker arm on the #5 exhaust valve was sort of laying across the stud at a 45* angle. The adjusting nut was still on the...

    vapor-lock???

    FINALLY - after 7 long months, I got my car started. ( yee, haw ) I was so excited I drove several laps around my block, open headers & all. Several minutes later the police showed up. Apparently one of my neighbors wasn't enjoying the sound of the motor as much as me! The cool thing...

    Cam Comparison

    I HOPE this dosen't come off as some lame cam question - but here it goes... I'm trying to decide whether or not it would be worth it to install a new cam while I still have the timing cover off. The cam that came in the car when purchased is a Crane hydraulic. Advertised Duration...

    Out of the zillion things that I photo documented before disassembling my engine bay for restoration, my remote oil filter adapter seems to be the one item ( first item so far anyway, LOL ) that escaped the camera. Can anyone help me identify which is the inlet & which is the outlet for...

    Polished Valve Covers???

    Ok - So I've spent what seems like an eternity stripping of all this ugly-flaking blue paint that was so generously applied by the PO. The un-painted surfaces were all nice & coroded & required quite a bunch of extra attention as well! Well now that I finally have them all cleaned up & a...

    Rocker Arm Adjustment

    My question is in regards to the amount of resistance that you should FEEL in the push-rod when tightening the rocker? I'm probably being a bit anal here but there seems to be quite a " grey-area " when adjusting rocker arms. For instance - the instructions that came with the rockers (...

    How BAD is this?

    Well I was getting ready to install my heads today & while cleaning off the block I decided to remove the carbon off the pistons too. This is my first time changing out heads so this may be normal but I instinctively put on the brakes after discovering what looks like little cracks in the...
