My son owns an engine shop now at age 37 . around 17 years ago we had our engines built at other shops. HTA- Dave and Ray Barton Racing- Ray and Dave. They are who I refer to that did our work .

We have our 428 and 416 engines a long time. Way before we had a our machine shop. My son now does all studs used on the LA engines in his machine shop on our property this way. This idea was thought of by several of us years ago. I'm am sorry if I confused your "brain" I just thought you and many would have known my son was very young when we first built this car . But he had input on the original build once I gave it to him at 16 yrs old.

I am not upset at all. Seems like you are the one that is having a brain fart. Because you have to constantly doubt everything you know nothing about. Instead of asking for an understanding of who is who, You just take things out of context and assume things.

Now that I had to explain to you who the Dave's and Ray are .Is your brain gaining any knowledge. And when I stated somewhere above that those with different methods that work . I would like them to post them. I am sure many do different things

This is what "we" do. and it is what works the best for my son for liability with the fix for this issue. Really! if you want to Chisel a grove in your head or your stud. Or run it without any oil at all that is your business. Don't confuse your self with things you don't agree with or understand. Friendly input deserves a respectful answer. Input like yours is just someone looking to swell their head. My Dad always said . If they can't Dazzle you with brilliance they'll baffle you with bullshit . He must have been referring to you.
I don't get angry. I just laugh at people like you.

Now write another story about who I am. I have nothing better to do but write a reply. And I love it.

Here is a picture of him at 17 and the car. and as it progressed in 20 years .

Tell your son I said "nice titties". LOL

I really don't understand this thread. We have a member with great resources and obviously a great deal of experience showing everybody how "they" handle an issue that they think should be addressed, Seems like sharing of information to me and that's what this site is all about, right? If you don't want to do the mod, don't do it. It's pretty simple. There's really no need to bash the guy simply because it's not something you wanna do. Just don't do it and your problem is solved.
