Got my front and rear bumpers there. 3 chrome vendors. Inspect them carefully, I got the only "good" ones, lol

Cuz of the new China tariffs and the likely repercussions, they will probably restrict all the "rare Earth's" and many minerals nec for solar and chip manufacture, I bought shares of a small miner I mention a while back 5N+, I'm up about a $1 on a $4 stock, They produce rare Earth's here in...

Went up to 6 during Covid, now down to less than 2? I am very much trying to leave politics outta this thread. I'm very glad you're doing well. NVDA almost back to $1000 again, the whole market is broadening out. Fear of a rate increase is gone, tons of great earnings . Looking pretty good for...

I kinda think it's all related in a way. Companies becoming more cost effective. Lotta small marginal companies counted on running on a line of Credit, to pay bills, etc, wages, etc. The butcher, baker, - candlestick maker all had thousands $$$ at their disposal. I did, all my businesses since...

If any of you picked up some Cannibix stock (BLOZF) back when it was 18 - 20¢, it's now over 60¢. This stock was only trading less than 60k shares a day, now over 1 million . By my discipline, you should sell 1/2, let the rest ride till they are mandatory by all Police and companies requiring...

I could spend a week in Balboa Park, San Diego.

I had a a Challenger bblk, I had to take a belt sander to the head flange to get it to fold under, kinda like this one. That header was fkd, but I got it to fit. The old days were a nightmare, no 2 headers were the same, hand welded, flange was like a mountain range, weld/ file every set. At...

I use a $5 piece of chain, from hemis on down wrapped in black tape, no vibration, lotsa horsepower, lol

I'm often happy with 1/8th clearance, depending on torque side and mount condition. No rattles, no leaks, no dings .

Most auto parts stores will have a multi-compartment box behind the counter with both US and metric plugs. If you drilled a hole in the plug to remove it, braze/weld the hole, or put the screw back in. Or just leave the whole thing alone, you have oil to the top, you always did, (put the 2 bolts...

You're kidding, I'll be in touch, thnx

Bob, that pic in post #24, - which tube is that, what cylinder ?

I've got some 40 yr old, I'm afraid to try, lol

I think a lot of us gave Thanx to Timothy Leary, I did .

Just a side note, I had a coupla engines break rocker shafts. The oil pressure gauge banged off "0" psi at 1/2 engine rpms. So pump resistance should reduce a bunch as the passage opens.

Very awesome, thnx for sharing.

Let us know when you're able to do a few simple tests at the vehicle. Cheers

Excellent thought.

My concern was a novice trying to align, put the rockers pushrods back in correctly, and the "why are some taller than others" valve spring questions . I was good till you got to taking rockers off. Carry on .

Yeah, take out the 2 bolts, start the drill/(turn the key) rotate crank at least 2 rotations, - 2 geysers to the ceiling, reinstall bolts, button it up. No messing with rockers etc, jmo

Bob, the only other time I saw an issue like this, the installer didn't know the engine sits something like 1 1/2 inches to the passenger side, and he had centered the engine in the frame and had major issues like you. I'd really be interested, I'm sure I asked before, where your engine/crank...

The 453 fit just about every model, but you certainly could be right.

That hole thru the rocker shaft can be probed all the way to the cam, but I don't recommend it, if you chop the end off with the cam, drama. There's a bend and a restriction at the hd gskt,

I'm convinced there's something outta whack with those headers. Trust me, I done bunchas. I haven't seen anyone have so many issues with sooo many different things .

I'm really at a loss as to why you're having so much trouble Bob, I wish I had a magic wand to help you out. I have had to remove the steering column and remove a few inches off the bottom of the column, and move the lower bearing up. I really don't remember which vehicle. Make sure you contact...

They aren't officially numbered to my knowledge, only as I stated. Drape a cloth over the holes cuz when you get it right, it may deliver a blast .

I don't have an answer yet, in my opinion it should hold pressure either way.

Hey Les, the old linelocs would occasionally leak, there was a kit avail, did a couple. Haven't had to try and repair a new style . Good luck https://www.amazon.com/Hurst-5671500-Line-Lock-Rebuild/dp/B000COATYG?tag=fabo03-20

These are 3 old cams I had in my shop, 2 have oiling holes in the same position in relation to keyway, the other is different, so using timing marks isn't reliable to find rocker oiling location. I don't have a timing set handy to set the cam timing up to crank.

Excuse me, but you really only need to pull the second rocker shaft bolt back on the drivers side, and the 4 th rocker bolt back on the passenger side to expose the oil gallery. Oil will shoot outta there when you get the right positions.
