    Oil choice for after break in period.

    Run Cenpeco in everything. I can tell you of case after case of using of it my own testimonials, from both daily drivers to race engines. It was discovered by me and my dad when we were tractor pulling, the most tortured form of racing. Scott

    Black Jack: Update on Black Jack vibration

    Looks like the rear main to me? Years ago I had a rear drip on my engine. I retorqued the intake and it eliminated the leak, the engine was pretty fresh at that point. I would check the gally plugs and cam freeze plug, all could be a source of leakage.

    Best plugs for carb'd roller

    Blue strap means to much timing! I would replace plugs (atleast the blued ones) and pull atleast 2 degrees, test again. A carb will be inherently rich, put cats on if you want it to smell better. Tune for leanest cylinder...

    That sucks man! Please weigh carefully the difference in price between what you buy and custom! Remember if you stick some used POS in, or cheap off the shelf lifters and you have to do a partial or complete tear down. You will be money ahead with custom with the correct supporting parts...

    Just make sure block and head are flat and you will be fine. MLS might have a Ra requirement just make sure head and block are in spec on that, any reputable machine shop can measure that.

    If you are staying NA, deffinently stick with the thinner HG. You should be targeting quench under ~ .045, .060 is to much., unless you are spinning 9K then maybe .045 -.050.

    Temperature sensor thread size

    Can someone tell me what the thread size is on the temperature gauge coolant sensor for my 92? I believe they are the same from 86-93. After having my car apart for 3 years I have misplaced the damn sensor and want to know if it is 3/8 or 1/4 pipe thread. Thanks! Scott
