I’ve seen this before using a short extension and power steering to drive out the bearing assembly

It’s done that way to chill the incoming air through the intake into the heads for a denser air-fuel charge. WHY does an engine run better on a cool night?

There was no re tuning, power was down just like he said with ‘cold’ heads. I’m sure Jenny knows a lot more about engines than we do.

I have another example. Kenny at Indy built my 499, 830 hp. When I first got it in car it would peak at 240 degrees going down track. Belt driven water pump into a VW Scroroco radiator with external fan. I called Ken on this and said that’s fine, those heads have to run hot to make the...

No, so if water FLOWS to fast it won’t warm up?!

Yes, thought slowing down was obvious

So what’s your degree? You’re so wrong, go watch some more ‘goofys garage’

And what is the major function of a T stat but to regulate the flow through the engine.

So, not a person understood what was going on in that engine-radiator, talk about closed minded! By definition a radiator RADIATES HEAT, water went through it so fast it couldn’t release the HEAT (for the size of radiator) BTW I hope y’all know what those little fins hooked to the pipes are for...

Ok I’ll give my real life experience, the engine got so hot it melted the bond between the insulator and metal base of each spark plug (could wiggle them all) causing 2, (iirc) plugs to fall out of the head still with wire attached. I stopped (going down interstate 81) because I heard the...

That little essay tells me you don’t know shite so go preach somewhere else. What a clown

Ok what degree do you have? Internet posting?

BS, you have bad science, my brother has an engineering degree in thermodynamics. Do you know there is no such thing as cold? There’s only heat, it has to dissipate through a medium, it doesn’t just disappear. If you have an insulated container with one 5” rod sticking out it won’t cool too fast...

It’s a bleeder valve, to keep temp at the desired engine efficiency level, remember an engine is a heat pump.

Oh yes it does, they can crow all the want with their synopsis but I had first hand knowledge their idea holds no ‘water’ pun intended. REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE from 1968 in a 62 Chevy 283 wagon. It takes time to transfer heat, it’s not instantaneous. Does your coffee cool down fast in a thermos...

So it can slow down to let the heat radiate into the fins.

Replaced switch and pressures were whitin range. Today it did well 89-92 ambient temp. Should’ve said already replaced switch before. My bad

AC will drive you nuts sometime, I’ve been chasing my tail on my Toyota, cools great when ambient temp is under 84, get to 94 and it runs then shuts off, turn off-on and it picks right back up for about 5-10 minutes then off again, never comes back on by itself. Tired of changing parts and...

Comes in from Canada I think

Didn’t know about that stuff, thanks

I broke 5 yes 5 otters, had to send pics of them, once they saw how bad they were they’d send one out free of charge (lifetime warranty) Drop one on cement from 5 feet up, you’ll get the pic.

10 years ago I ran over mine with the 6 foot finish mower, made a debris area 8 foot in diameter, just little pieces. Parts were hot from battery disintegrating. Lost all data and photos

Well I had to respond. Back in 67 a friend wanted to ride around on my Honda Super Hawk, he said I could drive his 66 Formula S. It was a dog in my opinion (I don’t think he ever nailed it) but cool to drive. Next the lead singer in a band bought a 67 FS notch Barracuda, all we did was ride...

Isn’t the rear same on both? I’ve never liked that style when 70 Dart came out, put both up for sale and find a Duster (70-71-72) more tire room and shorter wheel base. Or the ultimate, the 67-69 Barracuda, you’ll never lose when time to sell!! Saw today a 70 Dustee rolling chassis cage tubbed...

Yes Yes, adjustable rockers, Isky prefered, zero lash (pushrod stops turning) Crane anti pump up lifters. I was going 118, 4.88 gear and 29.5 slicks 6800

Why they’re beating around the bush on these idiot ideas I’ll never know, LIFTERS LIFTERS LIFTERS. Quit wasting y’all’s time with head flow and springs

Might be apples to oranges but my 383 with hy 509 cam would go over 7000 rpm, with zero lash and anti pump up lifters. Then I installed same cam, lifters and springs in a 440, dies at 5000. Haven’t figured that out yet.

If I want to know the lift for that engine and rocker I’ll measure off retainer, but like you said all the rest measure off the lifter (use solid lifter)

Put it on lifter down in the valley multiply by 1-1/2 there your lift. Or use a cupped pushrod, dowel, brake line, copper tubing, laying against the rocker shaft (keep it straight up and down) all measurement can be taken off the lifter. On what you made you’re getting into preload of lifter

A ‘level’ has to have a curve, some have a very slight curve for better accuracy. My Starrette machinist level is the way, very touchy. My 4’ carpenter levels are more lenient. A perfectly flat bubble will never find center. Now to check a ‘level’ lay it down on surface, mark the bubble, then...
