Ignorance questions to help me understand: 1. Do the valve springs only have to keep the valves shut after the rocker finishes riding the closing ramp of the camshaft lobe onto the heel or base circle of the camshaft? AND be strong enough to resist flutter or vibration/frequency harmonics? Is...

No one needs hex head insert to remove ANY stud. Simply screw on two nuts onto the top of the stud, lightly tighten them together, then unscrew the bottom nut, which will unscrew the stud itself. Some nuts are thin when stud end play is short. Working the bottom but against the top nut (stud...

I can run H116cp hypereutectic pistons in 360, but they require even more milling. They are heavier, Rusty likes them. I have not found a comparable hyper piston to KB-167 for the 318. There is merit to your views on KB. I have had a cast piston break apart in a 73 340 and simply replaced the...

Forged pistons look to be the same compression height when shopping. They say a KB-107 is still .012” down in the hole-hence milling needed to begin with. I want to optimize compression, not just let it go-compromise the compression with simply putting everything together as is.

How much milling would be considered not heavy would you say?

Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 ( at sea level) ten to one would 147psi to 14.7 I think that the high compression 340 engines had dome pistons which negated. the disadvantage of an open chamber cylinderhead to some degree.

When planning an engine build, How much can SBM heads be milled? (Closed chamber heads) to reach 10, 11, 12 to one static compression for stock stroke 318 or 360 engines with: Keith Black 167 +.020 (318/ 5.2 magnum piston Compression Height: 1.810 inch Stats...

I have not accepted any updates on my iphone, but Facebook.com/marketplace utilized through the ‘Safari’ internet browser is now denying me the use of the marketplace search function button-it now deflects to downloading the app, which I would like to avoid. Have any of you guys or gals...

Are you out of the loop? Have you not witnessed Tyson? Joe Rogan (once a professional fighter) claimed Tyson, in his current training is scary. I think you under/over estimate when old men CAN go downhill. My 68 year old grand father (farmer) could work as hard as ANY 18 year old man ( well...

Am tired and not running on all 8 cylinders :

How long did the aluminum rods last in what engine and application sir?

Are poly 318 crankshafts: are they interchangeable with LA- does that include any difficulties ? Not all 273 cranks are forged correct? Would a 1960’s forged 273 crank need much metal (Mallory) attached to the crankshaft if hypereutectic (lightweight) pistons and I beam aftermarket rods were...

Uncle Star Smith, F-15, F-4 Fighter pilot, Commander of an air wing in England, will take his 6 liter, 4 door gas truck and drive across a four lane road (which takes lots of time idling, waiting) to go get gas 1 cent cheaper across the road to the other gas station (which just lowered its...

I have a machined 360 block And hydraulic flat tappet camshaft ( Old Stock Lunati 60401, Do you think cryo freezing & then nitriding an old stock, LA, hydraulic flat tappet camshaft AND running Howard’s Cams HFT Liifters would help prevent Camtasrophy or am I still rolling the dice with...

GOD be with you and bless you John Cadamore. I hope that you are in heaven.

Great job!!! Super proud of you! You represent the hobby, yourself, and all of us here on FABO with high esteem. You are greatly appreciated!!!

Not just the 3 valve engines, even the 4.6 2 valves did this to me and separately to my uncle on our ford products. You are absolutely correct sir.

1. Request Recommendations on cleaning or purging old fuel lines. 2. How long can the rubber lines (they sell at the parts stores) reliably be for a daily driver on today’s ethanol fuel? (From hard line to carb) 3. How far should the fuel line be (besides as far as possible) away from the...

Are the marine blocks potentially thicker castings?

Isn’t this concept “flipping the pistons,” what David freiburger and Steven dulcich used to make fun of uncle Tony of YouTube about?

May I ask is this for an engine stand or in order to conduct starts/turnovers from inside the vehicle? Thank you. I simply want to understand the advantage.

Couldn’t you just disconnect the central distributor wire sir?

I like the idea of a 451 or 470 BBM stroker, but I have never seen a SBM over 450 cubic inches. Your response reminds me of the guys I worked with whom would die on the hill of technically quoting documentation in arguments. You are absolutely correct on max effort, but I didn’t spell out...
