    I need help with roller rockers

    as the rpms rise you can really start hearing it more. when it is at idle it is not much louder than a small exhaust leak. i have them adjusted just like you said. the only other thing i can think of is maybe they are hitting on the valve cover, but i cant see any spots where they would be...

    I need help with roller rockers

    The first time I did it I went a 1/4 turn and I still had rocker noise. The specs on it called for a 1/4 to 1/2. If it is to tight why would I still hear a rocker slapping the push rod

I had a little bit of valvetrain noise so I went back in and I adjusted the rockers again. The first time after I installed the rockers I only...

    Intake bolts too tight?

    the torque spec for the lower intake is 15 ft pounds. I dont think that overtorquing the intake can hurt the lifters. the only thing it can hurt is the head gasket. i have never seen it happen but when you overtorque the intake it pulls the heads out of wack. this is why the torque spec is...

    I am tired of my Flowmasters. Help!

    If you want a cat back that has a good tone and makes a noise at idle I would go with a mac cat back. Either 5.0 mustang or muscle mustang did a test on all the mufflers. The macs were in the top 3 as far as making power and they have the most affordable catback. The only thing that would...

    backfiring?? what would be the cause?

    Check your exhaust system too. My stock h pipe got a little old it broke right above the first cat and I really couldn't see it until I took the pipe off. You can probably feel up around the cat. My car was backfiring real bad until I replaced it.

    Rough ride w/ clutch!!!

    I have the same problem with you. I talked to a couple of tranny shops and they said you should really never have the flywheel turned. They said always replace it with a new one.

    Well if you really want to compare the twisted wedge heads to an afr product you should compare them to the 185's.

    FINALLY MADE IT TO THE TRACK

    where do you live. I live right at sea level. When I had a cobra intake, 24# injectors,75 mm mass air, underdrives, full mac exhaust, and adjustable regulator I was running 8.8 at 78-79 mph with 2.1 60' times. That was with a stock 308 gear, stock cam, and stock heads. Your times sound a...

    added AFPR and dyno'd car

    You might want to check and make sure your O2 sensors are working right. I had a problem with my car dumping alot of fuel and it would spit and sputter and blow black smoke. I changed the O2 sesors and that took care of it

    How many here run AFR 165's on 306's?

    I just bought a set of afr 165. I have not put them on the car yet. I was looking at the twisted wedge heads, but a lot of people I have talked to said that the tw heads have problems with the valve guides and that they have to be replaced often. The other reason I got these heads is because...

    ? about blocking smog on back of cylinder heads

    I just picked up some afr 165 emissions legal. I need to know if I can block the smog passage with a brass plug or if I need to get a special plug. If it takes a brass plug what size is it?
