Had to have the Road Runner towed to the house after a lifter failure which turned out to be a cam lobe worn. Still ran but didn't want to hurt it any further. Which by the way was my fault had a Caddy CTSV right behind me and he opened his exhaust and ripped up behind me. So I pegged it and let...

Im not downing on a 71 Satellite I am however downing on this car. They have a piece of 4 inch angle iron holding the front frame rail...

Here is what I got from the felpro site. These are pictures of the actual gaskets I found on ebay This is the 7891PT-2 They mention on the package label. And this is the 8519PT1 they mention

I have to purchase a cam and lifters before I can get any information on piston to valve clearance. Being as though I do not know what the previous cam was I'm thinking about the 484 Purple cam from Mancini So once I purchase that and the lifters I should be able to get some accurate measurements.

Yup I just found a set on ebay though. I figured it would be easier to just go back with what it had. As soon as I can im going to go grab some measuring tools.

Problem is that nobody has the 8519 SP in stock. I find the other part pretty easy.

I kinda feel stalkerish but you never know what’s around the corner. This guy lives about a mile away. I have never seen the car around before. And it’s just cool to see.

Was coming out of the store hopped into the Journey and looked in the rear view mirror across the street from me was a 1964 or 5 Belvedere. I noticed he looked like he was going to come into the convenience store so I stayed in the car until he got across the street. Older Gent and apparently he...

You just need to run high zinc oil VR1 Valvoline is a good one but also there is Lucas oils I think they make a hot rod oil. Just need to have the zinc.

You need to run the engine between 2000 and 2500 rpms for 20 minutes. Unless you went roller cam and roller lifters. Then its not that big of a deal.

The pushrods that he apparently installed were more like chevy pushrods and had oiling holes in the ends. They actual measurement was 9.250 Its printed on them

The engine had those gaskets on it when I tore it down. The shim and the .039 I was just curious if the 21 would work in place of the 20 that was on in. I mean the shim. I can find 21 but not 20.

If I remember correctly they were like 9.200 or something like that. He got them from Summit racing. I have them in the shed out of the engine I'll check them tomorrow.

I agree but thought id ask. Anyone used the 484 purple cam? This was a very stout engine before the cam issues. I wish I had the cam still but I let the junk guy take it. 5 of the lobes were completely gone and it mushroomed 5 lifters I had to take out from the inside. Found out a piece of pvc...

I thought so too that would be a bunch of work if it failed.

I was thinking now that Mancini has started selling the Purple cams again About this one. Mancini Racing PurpleShaft Cam & Lifter Kit Fits: B/RB 361-440, 284/484 Hyd Flat Tappet .484" / .484" Lift. 239/239 Duration @ .050" 108 + 0 L/C One Bolt Pattern Street / Strip Like the way it sounds.

Stupid question can you re use steel shim head gaskets? I mean these are copper but a shim none the less. The look to be in decent shape. I think I know the answer already but hell thought id ask.

I figured either valve clearance or a drop in compression. But Id like to believe it was for valve clearance. Forgot to mention that they are 906 heads. I think I need to roll on over to harbor freight to pick up some measuring devices lol.
