    Noisy valvetrain...

    Hi, OK, first thing is to get some engineer's blue for coating the valve stem tip ( I think the "blue-ing" leaves a much better foot print than the ever popular "sharpie"). Remove a rocker, ( I remove the plugs, as well) apply the "blue" to the tip. Replace and adjust the rocker. Rotate the...

    HI, How does t Hi How do those adjustable studs help with P/R geometry? They don't! It's quite possible you're contacting the baffles in the V/C. But, more importantly, did you check for the proper P/R length? Good Luck!

    which kind of 302 block is the best to build?

    Hi, If not it's an easy job. It's best to do a test fit drill before the cam bearings are installed. However, if you're "after-the-fact", still not a problem, but, you have to be oh so careful and use a "bottom" tap. The valley area is very thin. You can run the risk of drilling into the back of...
