Not many cars searched for have such a happy ending..... I guess the only missing ingredient is the OP trying to buy the car back now.

Forgive my lack of experience but.... If a shop installed valve seats, is it possible that the taller seats result in a shorter installed spring height? Are the back sides of different valves thicker in some cases? I would assume that these would be machined to get the valve stem height all the...

The Hemi pound! lol! I welded the torque arm bracket and skidplate on.I put the clutch together with the new bolts and blue locktite no issues,going to install the bellhousing and transmission next.

What a great conclusion to this story of a very rare car! I saw a vid on YouTube yesterday of them pulling the cover off this burgundy car, but I didn't put 2+2 together until I saw the notification on this post. Made my day!

Just be aware that there is no “industry standard” for retainer installed heights. So, the Hughes +.100” retainers may or may not actually be +.100” compared to the Stealth retainers.

Some people prefer the convenience of buying a packaged kit that includes all the stuff to complete a swap. I understand, that is easier and usually works just fine. I have a history of trying to make use of what I have or what is immediately available AND a curious mind as well. Junkyard stuff...

KD,, I think yes, unless shimming is an acceptable ways to get there as well. I went to a supposedly reputable machine shop after searching for a couple of months and I got less than stellar results. Not excited about having to go that route but will see what the experts say. There is the...

It’s called “production tolerances”. There are a lot of machining operations involved along with numerous pieces in play. This is why you check. There is no problem stacking shims to get the height closer to the desired spec. Rick, it’s more spring than I’d use if I were building it, but in...

@HawkRod used a front kit and modified it for the rear seat in his RR.

Remove the cable, hang it, start lubing with a penetrating spray. I've had good luck with this. Let it hang for some time, spin the cable with a drill. Repeat as needed. When it's freed up enough, use a good quality lubricant that will adhere in the casing. Original cables are the best, unless...

Wouldn't that mean that you'd need to pull the heads apart to have the seats cut deeper?

I am always looking for good deals, but during this time of year, I try to avoid over spending and keep it to a very low amount. Needs and wants are my goals as I prefer to spend on my needs rather than what I want, I want, I want stuff...cr8crshr/Bill :usflag: :usflag: :usflag:

Cool beans!

let me know

I've always been a fan of Ponchos...Every one of them:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:...cr8crshr/Bill:usflag::usflag::usflag:

If you want to donate a hemi , I run a no kill shelter for gently used unwanted hemis , just send one over and I will do my best to give it a proper home :poke:

Here's a novel idea...Just don't speed and obey the speed limits where they are posted. Problem solved and no out-of-pocket cost at all...Just sayin' is all...cr8crshr/Bill:usflag::usflag::usflag:

Frankly, the 2001: A Space Odyssey timeline is not the worst we could have done. Elon, we've got a new build for you -

I don't either. I checked them multiple times, made sure the cups and recesses in the heads were clean, disassembled and reassembled the retainers and locks yet the measurements repeated within .001. I expected them all to be at 1.875 plus a few thou to account for the valve job. The only...
