???????? YES PLEASE EXPLAIN BOB RENTON

But what was the tire pressure during the tests. The presdure mudt be within 0.05 lbs front to back differrnce. One degree (1° +/-) will make no difference.....must be a perceived difference rather than a physical difference possibly due to air density or temperature or fuel...

W...C....!! BOB RENTON

There is a distinct difference between parkerizeing and nitritriding Parkerizing is a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of a chemical phosphate conversion coating. nitriding, process for hardening the surface of...

Perhaps you or your builder can install a degree wheel, test springs, test lifter(s) and measure the cam profile in relation to the crank. Somewhere on the cam is the manufacturer's name part number, s/n etc to ID the cam.....that way you would know what you have for future reference. If the...

What are the cam specs? Stock cam profile means nothing...so does radical cam....was it degree in? Advanced or retarded or on center? Speculation without numbers is worthless.....what does the manufacturers cam card say? Has the "engine builder" supplied you with installation specs, bearing...

FYI..... Surface hardening is an economical method to impart high wear resistance in selected areas of the casting. Most common surface hardening methods include flame and induction hardening. In flame hardening the form of hardening is due to transformation hardening in which the surface layer...

FYI.....humidity effects air density. The more dense the air, the more heat the air contains or the air is heavier. The shroud helps move the more dense (or heavier) air thru the radiator or heat exchanger for better heat transfer ....... BOB RENTON

Will O'Reilly repair the transmission based on their recommendations? .....probably not....they recommend what they sell based on margin. How about 000 (triple 0) a semi-fluid semi-solid used on heavily loaded slow turning open gear trane if you're worried about temperature. BOB RENTON

Try calling the oil companies or do a google search in your area. Synthetic's.have a broader temperature range snd viscosity index. Compare the SSU index. IMO.....stay away from 140 grade too thick to circulate thru the needle bearings.....but its up to you.... BOB RENTON

What type of oil will you use as a replacement? Suggest using a hydraulic oil, either ISO-VIS 32 OR 46 OR 68. The Saginaw pump is a vane pump and needs/likes a hydraulic oil for anti foam, anti wear, temperature stable at pressure characteristics.....not ATF. CONSULT FSM to be sure BOB...

OUTSTANDING PIX.....when I went to school, I wish the ladies looked that great...... BOB RENTON

Personally, your issue appears to be a MIXTURE DISTRIBUTION problem rather than a spark plug heat range, Mixture distribution can be corrected by stagger jetting and port/manifold matching By the markings these plugs appear to be Champion RJ-14YC??? Autolite AP-85 or AC R44S would be an...

Try Passon Performance Passon Performance 309 Turkey Path, Sugarloaf, PA 18249 570.401.8949 Great web site.....www.passonperformance.com They manufacturer MOPAR transmissions and parts. Call them and inquire what they recommend, BTW....mashed bananas and peels are quite slippery and promote...

True.....try solving three simultaneous quadratic equations with three unknowns.....with only a slide rule (in the days b4 hand held calculators)..... BOB RENTON .
