    Rocker arms: To shim or not to shim? That is the question

    im still wondering why they installed a different size valve. also, you might want to check that the installed height of the spring is the same.

    Transmission Rebuild

    yeah, i know they can all be different. our builder has been building for 25 years and used to own his own performance trans shop. but yes....you should be very wary of anyone who claims they can do good trans work. its not as easy as everyone makes it out to be

    Difference between 86 and 88 5.0 motors

    nope....the 86 lincoln will have flat top pistons....well they might have like a .050" dish to them but it doesnt have any valve reliefs. i got the exact same motor for free and i just used the block and rods for my car

    Rocker arms: To shim or not to shim? That is the question

    how much longer is the new valve? if the valve is .100" taller than you need to shim that rocker .100". but you will also need a pushrod that is .100" longer. i dont see why they would put a longer valve in the head. doesnt make much sense to me since you can get valves in just about every...

    Transmission Rebuild

    have them put red high performance clutches and kevlar bands in it. tell them to put a shift kit in it and put a a 2800-3k stall in it and you will love it. you could also try to find a hardened input shaft and shell. i think art carr sells them. thats about all. you might be better off...

    Problem with Thermactor system?

    do what jrichker said but im leaning towards the diverter valve. it could be sending air into the back of the heads all the time which is causing a backfire with the extremely hot exhaust gases which is from the egr not functioning properly. dumping the air into the heads is also giving the o2...

    no cat car to a highflow setup....what could happen

    well it does take some hp to turn since the vanes that pump the air create resistance to turning. but yes it is a very insignificant amount. i just think that it would be cool to retrofit one from a newer vehicle and you could really put it anywhere so it doesnt clutter the engine bay

    no cat car to a highflow setup....what could happen

    i think someone needs to make an electric air pump for our cars. not that i would run one since i have no emissions stuff on my car at all. but i think it would be a good idea because it wouldnt rob power and you could run it off a temperature switch to come on when the engine got to operating...

    Steering rack and alignment

    yeah...if the rack was put in straight and the wheel was pretty much straight than all they had to do was a little adjustment to get the toe correct and the wheel to be straight. i could do that with a few jackstands, string and a tape measure. basically they screwed it up when they did the...

    EFI to Carb trade off
