I am guessing you are just seeing the factory big block Mopar offset they have built into it. The heads are supposed to use a conventional rocker arm.

Looks like this event at US131 will be the same weekend as the Mopar event at Norwalk.

The instructions you posted says it can be connected to coil trigger wire and then unit can be adjusted to the correct number of times per engine revolution that the wire is triggered. So it should work on your setup. So, maybe it's getting EMI from another nearby wire. I like the idea of...

Recent video of Freiburger dyno testing a basic 440. The results in the video are making the guesses in the top half of this list look pretty promising.

These covers used to come with the grommets. Now Mopar grommets are discontinued. Mancini Racing stepped up and offers the grommets that are the same as the old Mopar supplied grommets. That is what was in the link for post 2. If you look at their part number it is MREP5249642. They used the...

Is there something inside the oil ring? I guess that could be something in there after the damage started.

I was reading back through to see if the ring gaps were mentioned but I have not seen that yet. Any change it actually butted the second ring, breaking it first and torching it second? I am not experienced in boost, so I am asking honestly if that can happen. I don't really understand how it...

I use these discs too. Love them. Last a good while too. I thought I remember them having steel bristles inside those plastic bristles but I have not paid attention to it in a while.

I was reading back through this one again to see what those pistons were. It never would have broke if you had not said this in post 316.

A few years ago someone on this site was recommending carbide tipped gasket scrapers. I bought one to try and it is pretty awesome. The tip is not deteriorating like regular steel or plastic scrapers. That means it stays sharp and allows it to cut through really caked on gaskets and sealers...

You can use either one of those or the cobalt recomended. Use a sharp new bit with cutting oil and don't go too fast. The cast iron will drill much easier than you are expecting. If you do break one of those three types of bits, which are really just coatings on the bits, you will have one more...

Good things come to those who wait. Don’t worry so much. DVW says that guy is good. I would much rather wait longer from a really good small shop instead of rushing it through a high volume shop with lower standards. I am hoping you’ll be impressed with his work. We have a long winter ahead still.

These days, there is good roller lifters available with inboard link bars and no giant rivet heads. I am thinking those should greatly reduce the grinding needed to prevent this, but I have no experience with them yet.

At least your block is at the shop, in line for the work. That is good. My junk is still sitting in the garage taking up space.

He'll be decking it to true it up anyway, won't he?
