    timing tape install/timing light accuracy

    I have a quality dialback but several sources say they regularly can be inaccurate. should I invest in a regular non dialback light to confirm readings? installing a timing tape if i clean the surface & glue it down with superglue does that sound like a workable plan? thank you for your time.

    I just put an alum intake on my 360. I didn't realize until afterward that I forgot to put the throttle bracket under the 2 bolts in the drivers rear. can I remove the bolts & finish it out or do I have to redo everything? I used permatex #2 the brown goo on the ports and RTV on the water ports...

    70's electronic dist. I disassembled it (except for gear/shaft) & cleaned it all thoroughly with solvent. should I oil the shaft & if so how would I go about doing it and I was thinking of pulling the pin/gear & reducing the end play with some shims (which if I did that I could oil the shaft at...

    easy spark plug cleaning Q

    Saw a utube vid saying that you should not bead blast plugs to clean em as you cant get all of the particles out. I dont see any real crevice in there so wouldn't air & maybe a shot of brake kleen be more than adequate? I do have one of those mini plug blasters that uses shop air with some small...

    lifter preload Q

    read something way way way back about setting up to where the lifter cup is almost bottomed out all the way down (I forget the amt up from that) which would take a longer pushrod to keep the geometry correct I would assume. Would this work better than having the cup up & a certain amt of...

    cam lube goop on lifters Q

    Watched a utube vid on cam/lifters & they heavilygooped up the sides of the lifters (in addition to the bottoms) with some thick paste before dropping them in. wouldn't this impede the lifter being free to rotate especially during breakin. is this an issue or just my OCD talkin? thank you for...
