Ain't got here yet. I've already cut the grass and worked the truck a little.
Morning fellers, warming up into the 60s today. Wife has me doing some painting in the house, need to finish this last room today.
Aren't they cool. I hope my next one is a roller.Some guy named Howard just sent me a cam
Not used to rollers.. lobes look ridiculous.

Make sure the oil passages are drilled through. Ask @Moparmich
Yup, he already warned me and i checked
That was a freaking mess.
yeah... i would have been wrecked.. i imagine it trashed most of the rocker assembly
I know the engineers checked things out but I like the idea of the grooved surface for constant flow. Too much oil up top?
I am about to get a Howards Roller for the 351W in the 68 Fairlane. Nice thing is I have a racers discount through the AHRA and Competition Products. They are owned by the same company. (Howards & Competition Products)
well.. this was $406 which really wasn't a bad price i expect to pay 500+change
One side I was there when we pulled the motor and found it. Crazy oil passed on one side only, like a ventury the drill just touched the other hole First time I saw him Really pissed off. Plus the car was just painted baby gloves pulling that one.
Yeah, i would have lost my mind.. i don't trust anyone as it is but i expect parts to at least be made properly..
I think they made good on the damaged parts.
Yeah he said they took care of it which is awesome.... The way i see it is bad **** happens.. how a company deals with it matters
BTW.. this is the cam i went with.. nothing big but in a little 318 should be nice

That should be a good one. Make sure you check valve to piston clearance and the retainer to guide/seal clearance at full lift. Most cams are limited to .525 lift without some modifications. What rear gears are you running now?Yeah he said they took care of it which is awesome.... The way i see it is bad **** happens.. how a company deals with it matters

I'm hunting for a 3.55-4.10 pig.. but not hunting too hard I will probably change that out before the end of summer so i can deal with a little too much cam for a bit. I was going to get the 219/220ish one but meh.. i wanted the 109 LSA so had to go up a step
I'm gonna check clearances btw.. but it's trickflow heads, they are supposed to be setup good to like .620 or soemthing (i would have to look)
Cheap sandblast guns tend to use a lot of air. I swapped mine for a better one and it made a big difference.
Whiskey AND coffee AND S.F. dudes

Will wait until it warms up a little then go move some snow i guess.
