Do I miss something?
I am asking if different pairs of LCAs existing. The two I am showing have different plates installed and I wonder if there were two manufacturers or something. This thread isn’t about to ask how to reinforce these LCAs.
^^^ Listen to these gentlemen! Until you know IF you have an oil pressure problem, you really don't want to run the engine assuming you are OK.
Like @Dave6T4 (referenced below), I use my stock gauge in the dash so my car looks factory but plumbed a mechanical gauge that sits on the back of my...
Hey guys, was putting on the edelbrock intake and of course the holes in the intake weren’t lining up with the head on one side when you have the other side started. Couple questions.
I pulled the valve cover to check the casting number and change the gaskets. Casting number appears to be...
Sometimes using a longer or shorter P/S belt will move its trajectory away from the filter. The Wix 51515 is the most common filter, but not the only one, as has been said.

Kern:
Checking installed height gives you the ability to measure what your closed pressure is. From there you can measure open pressure based on your cam and verify it is what you need.
But an important measurement is also to measure from the bottom of the retainer to the valve guide oil seal...
Yes, replacing vin tags with reproduction. Now the body swap police will be in here lecturing on how that is different from replacing every piece of sheetmetal on a car. Remember, these were vin swapped on the assembly line if you look at it that way. They all had the same sheetmetal until the...
