    Re0installing timing chain cover; a few "help" questions:

    Hey guys, like the title says. 1.) I'm having a hard time keeping the rubber part of the oil pan gasket in place while I put the cover back on. Any tips? it keeps either falling in or sticking out... isn't it supposed to be right on the outside egde, as opposed to inside the groove on the...

    ? re: wobbling balancers???

    No, Jason, I think both you, hissin, and everybody else in this thread have been right. I think the kid is either stupid, lying or both, and is hoping I'll take the problem off his hands like an idiot. To be honest, I don't know what the hell it's actually "doing", as the kid kind of talks in...

    it's an engine that is for sale, but I;ve always been weary of the idea due to the shady balancer situation. Plus, he's trying to unoad it dirt cheap...

    Machine shop costs/ extreme broken bolt situation ->

    What angle should I hit it from? Left to right, as it's a reverse thread?? Midlife, the timing cover is already off; the bolt is broken flush with the block itself. THanks though! SO, is Cobalt stonger than Carbide?

    Machine shop costs/ extreme broken bolt situation ->

    Well, I've heard about the punch idea, might try that in addition... I'll try the carbide bits first, as I have two and will try and see if they both break or what. I've heard different opinions on the carbide vs. EZouts. Some have said they cut through like butter, most have said go slowly and...

    Machine shop costs/ extreme broken bolt situation ->

    Well, I definitely can't see the flutes of the EZout. Honestly, if you look th the bolt, you can't even tell there's an ez-out broken off inside it; it looks like one piece. First I'm gonna have a slow go at the bolt w/ the carbide bits and see what luck i have there. Next I'll try the dremel...

    Acetone (A mustang's best friend)

    I'm skeptical, but nowadays, I guess it's worth a shot... What's the cost of acetone vs. the savings in gas?

    ? re: wobbling balancers???

    I just some confirmation or denial that this story is :bs: A guy I know is selling his whole "drag truck" setup (13 second build) according to him, you'd need to get a fuildamper, as aparently, "the new rebuilt internals and reciprocating assembly is SO light that it keeps causing the stock...

    Machine shop costs/ extreme broken bolt situation ->

    I had thought of and been advised by someone to try that, but where the car is stranded, we don't have the welding equipment to do that... I might be able to arrange for my brother-in-law to bring his portable welder up there, but I don't see how you could do it if the bolt is INSIDE the block...

    Machine shop costs/ extreme broken bolt situation ->

    So I should not exert any real pressure on the drill to "push" the bit into the bolt/EZout? Just hold it there w/ enough pressure to keep it in place? Guess I'll probably end up learing-by-doing... My buddy just called from work and said he ot his hands on a couple carbide bits and will have...

    Machine shop costs/ extreme broken bolt situation ->

    Here's the synopsis: I broke a water pump bolt off in the block during the winter, and finally got around to trying to fix it yesterday. It was broken off flush inside the block. First I drilled into the bolt and put in an easy out, heated the block, went to twist, and the easy-out broke off...

    Help identifying Edelbrock heads...

    yeah, they're the 1.90 valves, so I should be good to go. My understanding is that they don't need any work, just reassembly. I will, of course, look into that~

    Cost to assemble valvetrain?

    I do have the valves and springs that were originally on there, they're just all in a box. They just neep to be re-assembled. I had planned on using the stock rockers and pushrods. What advantages will I have going to new rollers? Given that it is still SD. Also trying to keep it...

    how do you like your performers compared to the other heads you've run? Do you think ~600 is a good deal?
