    HELP figuring cam lift ( maybe actual purple shaft p/n?

    The cam grinder assumes the rockers will transmit the correct ratio to the valve. So if the cam is sold as having 0.450" valve lift, with 1.5 rockers, the lobe lift will be 0.300" if the cam has been accurately ground. Is the cam new or used? If used, & lobe peaks are worn, it will be hard to...

    SBM head velocities and there application?

    Sounds like you have the Bettes book, a great book. I find that a lot of assumptions are made with some of the calculations, resulting in wrong final numbers. D. Vizard also has an excellent porting book, SA 215. He claims the common 28" used is a compromise.

    Stupid Drywall Question

    I am simply removing the batten. The drywall that is there is remaining. And yall, the joint compound is already SET and DRY. That's why I'm asking about sanding it. Thanks for the tips. I guess it's going to have to be the sanding blocks.

    F**K YOU TAIWANESE/CHINESE MADE JUNK

    I think Summit actually tries to provide parts made in USA. That's a rarity these days.

    Intake distribution issues

    With your current intake, you have 7 cyls that can interfere [ they are cross-connected ] with the cyl that is drawing air. With a dual plane, much less interference, only 3 can interfere. I have no experience with your type of EFI, but it maybe a factor to look at.

    Bought 5.7 hemi/nag1 out of a cop car. Some questions.

    Pretty sure FORScan is Ford only. But AlfaOBD is a similar program and works well on late model Mopars. But I doubt it can turn off MDS, I think that is a PCM deal only and AlfaOBD is more about body module settings like to turn on Performance Pages.

    Just leave the alternator spade connector off. Thank me later. lol

    And maybe lousy rocker ratio. (1.5 rocker, maybe 1.45?)

    HELP figuring cam lift ( maybe actual purple shaft p/n?

    FYI: the cam lobe peaks have an angle taper to them so they will spin the lifters. So you want to try and measure on the high side of the peak to read maximum lift. ☆☆☆☆☆

    Stupid Drywall Question

    There is a trick for doing drywall corners with a flat blade putty knife. Put your fiberglass tape on, then apply the setting type mud one side at a time. Do one side, let it harden up overnight. Then you do the other side the next day so it doesn't dig into the first pass. If the mud you put...

    Stupid Drywall Question

    You can use a slightly damp sponge to help smooth it. Then use a small hand held sanding block that has a few different angles on it. I don't mind the boarding and taping. Mudding/sanding sucks. I'll put on 5 gallons of mud, to end up with 4 gallons of dust on floor lol. Good luck.

    Since I am a sucker for punishment, I put my brother's 68 Dart on the hoist tonight to look for the source of it's oil leak. Looks like someone has tried to epoxy or JB Weld the oil pan. :BangHead: Front crankshaft seal leaks a little bit too, as do the valve covers.

    Last one to post in this thread wins!

    So I have the Ventura up and running again after a couple weeks of work and aggravation. What started out as putting the new wheels and tires on, grew into fixing the annoying oil leak it has had for some time. That progressed to pulling the motor out, finding out that the main and rod bearings...
