Start with having an adequate cooling system. Lose the iron intake manifold and the giant low-hanging air cleaner that holds heat around the carburetor. I've never had fuel boiling in any carburetor.

That chain is too slacked for my liking without a tensioner to keep it from jogging at idle. I'd replace it. One thing to note is.. it's not some slack thats the issue.. it's how much the cam is retarding from the chain stretch itself. You could technically degree it in to compensate for the...

That's right. Unless he put extended shackles or did some **** with the springs taller tires ain't doing anything but taking away gear ratio and squatability

That's devastating... I'm sorry for your loss.

Most, except comp.lol Who knows.. The lifters seem to be the focus. At first, I thought this was a question of which had better grinds.

Damn speed sensors

All of the cheap headers I've used have to be dinged a little bit or a pry bar between the powersteering box and the header tube to push the tube flat a little. They're also known to interfere with the steering coupler.idler arm is known to scrape against them too

If you bypassed the ballast, the coil wore should be hot. Unless the ignition switch at the key is toast. Jump a wire straight from the + battery to the +coil

Starter relay works Power bypassed at ballast So something/wire at the battery or near the belts that launched is broke. This is just in case. Other thing could be a coincidental timing chain jumped teeth on the over rev recovery decel. With a socket at the crank can you turn it back in...

You lose , typically, .020 IF the rocker pattern is centered or real close. No. 3 and 4 exh push rods might have sode angle as well, check.. they lose a lil more. Last one that was like the above example .575...net was .550

If you have a small block K member all you need to do is cut the front half of the motor mount Tower off so the oil pump clears. You could technically weld all that crap back on that you cut off

Make sure your cross hatch is 60 degrees or near. The steaper... the more oil it'll eat...the flatter... the less oil the hatch will hold and the rings will wear faster and sealing is up in the air.

would be nice to know what they are coated with so that you can replicate that and use the gasket otherwise buy another set

Yeah, working, maintaining sanity, putting cylinder heads together and little behind as always... I'm good though.

Scuff and respray, wet sand n buff

What brand is that? Is it one of those thinner ones like .028 or ? I'd be weary, at least use some Indian head on it if you do... but im not sold on those damaged or not.

8 impeller water pump 1" larger diameter fan How the initial timing? Just a start.

He should redo the bottom end. No matter how you look at it... its gonna cost 2k when he's done with stock heads n bottom end , stock style rebuild. No squeeze is dead in the water. 107psi is as weak as a chili fart from a fat broads dump hole.

Who needs a tach. Jk

Hey doll...

Judt tailor the advance curve , starting with shortening it...so yoy can have 20 or more initial timing. The stumble could have been a couple things, carburetor mainly.

Nick was right when he said ... "it sucked"... , but it wasn't the fuel sucking that sucked the most. That was ****. Click bait , with fake suspense pissed on top. Now it's getting more views on here, that's irony.

I have one too. 1962

They don't stop running as much as they just don't start back up once the teeth go away. It was a common occurrence on my daily driven hopped up 225

Nope, oil drips all over the place . Nope on the distributor too.

All the same .904 lifter

4 mains is a weak point being the crank is 85 lbs The head isn't designed for much bigger than a 170/198 cid. The upgrade parts are pricey compared to v8... the trans needs upgrades from v8 versions once built up... the cheapest intake is around 400+$$$... They are great... for running along...

Or cut the tube it slides into if it's short...

Pushed into the valley?

Yeah, maybe. Those engines are 15+ yrs discontinued though. Finding a low miles one these days ,only by luck of the transmission going bad or wreck... but then sitting through hot/ cold weather condensation... infrequent oil changes is another one... the oil from blowby becomes acidic. I think...
