I was at Dodge in early 70s, not one cam was replaced, only one lifter because it ticked. This was in the whole shop! But, at that time if a car had 50,000 or more miles it went to wholesale or junk yard, any car with 100,000 was unheard of. In 70s and 80s with racing and hot street, never heard...

I have a 1/2” hole in my block right up under the cylinder and I’ve taped the hole for 1/2” course thread. I’ll cut a chunk of cast iron off and old block then cut treads backward (so it tapers) on the piece to install. Then I’ll weld the whole area up (I bought the certanium 889 rods off eBay)...

Wow just checked Goodson, they’re proud of that tap and reamer. $90 for tap and $114 for the reamer. $520 for kit. Irontite has kit for $319, same thing!

Goodson sells this product also (reselling Irontite I suppose) they sell the whole kit with sealers also for water jackets. This might be a good option for my block skirt (windowed) it was welded but formed a crack. Ill cut a section out of a junk 440 block to use in the broken block. I have a...

My wife (76) goes in for colon surgery on the 8th, I’m more worried about what she might catch in there for 5 days!

I would not like that

You doing good, try not to step out in front of a train

I bought the 10 lb box. Thanks

What you said makes me think. My gastro Doc wants me to see an allergy Doctor for gas reflux and esophagus problem. Just one more thing at 76

I’ll look, under what heading?

Any extra I can buy?

Could be food?, my Grandfather had that same issue. He was born in 1894, died in 1974. Not too much processed food in his life time I would think. Lower aorta aneurism got him, I have a stent there now myself, dad had one too.

Does the intake ride ok, or is it too far outside? Pull the alignment pins out of head then shift the whole assembly to align up. Once that head bolt is tight I doubt the stand will move around. I’m thinking seriously of putting one piece stainless valves in my build after seeing that mess on...

Same problem I had on my Miller tig, searching many problems, thought it was the gas with bad welds on aluminum. Turns out the timer gas valve was sticking.

I still have maybe 9 of those, still looking for MORE! What makes it so good (and pricy) is the pharmaceutical coating. Last I checked they can be bought but it’s like $800 for 25 pounds.
