Stop in for a cup of coffee

everytime I go to do a "quick" engine re-seal......I end up feeling like I have to paint the engine......then I feel like it has to partially disassembled to be cleaned completely and have a good paint job.

then I end up getting tempted to replace parts like cams and such and then I figure I cant change a cam with out changing the cam bearings, I mean why not for great oil pressure.

Then I end up with a completely disassembled engine when it ran fine before I started.

so now I don't mess with them unless I need to fix something that is broken.

Dang Rani, you were doing so good there, until you said that you end leaving it in the corner...


Get a quick refresh kit from Mancini and get-r-dun....

But I like the way that you think...


Start with a quick clean up and paint turns into a quick refresh....

That's what happened with my son's 72 Challenger engine. We pulled it for a "quick fix", then checked our compression and found it lower than we wanted. Then found a set of heads with smaller combustion chambers to help get the compression back up. Now it's still out until we finish degreeing all of our cams and pick the best one for that engine...

We're getting one or two cams degreed per day. We just need to keep going until it's finished....
