    spring perch question

    ditto. when my car is jacked up, I can grab the spring and pull it out (if the shock wasnt there it would fall out by itself) Its becoming a hassle , whenever I go to let the jack down, I have to slowly release it , and guide the tops of the springs back where they belong. Ive done the...

    spring perch question

    thanks guys. I do have global west upper arms. however when I do jack up the car my springs basically are loose at full sag. So I think I will reverse them for that reason. I will call global west first to make sure its ok.

    Cooling questions

    Before you go dumping money into things that may not correct your problem, have you tried to pinpoint the problem? your fix could be as easy as a new radiator cap how hot is it running? does it run hot at low speeds, high speeds, all the time? more info would help.

    How soon can I use synthetic oil?

    I did talk to Crower, they said synthetics are fine as long as its a synthetic with plenty of zinc . Most major brand synthetics dont have the zinc because they are targeting the new car market (roller cams and cataletic convertors) where zinc is not needed, it actually lowers the life of the...

    rbohm, thanks for the response. it sounds like I'll wait another oil change to switch over, In the mean time what weight of Dino would you reccomend? I live in california and it doesnt get cold where I live.

    How soon can I use synthetic oil?

    the price of the oil is not an issue. I want the best protection against wear, heat, sludge build up, and start up protection . And I keep reading synthetic is the way to go. Just dont want to switch too soon. Also the synthetic Rotella has much more zinc (4x?) than the regular Rotella .

    First time starting up!!

    removing the distributer and using a priming tool with a hand drill is the only way I know to prime an engine. If you go to start a fresh engine without priming the system, there will be no oil for a few seconds where its needed, and you can hurt vital components.

    First time starting up!!

    do you know how to break in a cam properly? and with which oil and which additives for break in? if you're not sure , contact your cam company. The first 15 min of a motors life are the most important, and if you dont break in the cam properly, you'll have to start over and install a new cam...

    TCP Strut Rods too Rough?

    I believe they move more freely compared to rubber or poly bushed stock ones. up and down movement is what you want, not front to back movement. I installed them on a 68 and love 'em.

    Thinking of new gears

    Which oil to run?

    Is the zinc thing true? on both Crower's and Comp Cams sites they say no synthetic with a flat tappet. I'd love to run a synthetic, but not if there's any chance of hurting anything.
