    how critical is installed valve spring height?

    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.

    Rear shoulder belts in a 1970 Charger

    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...

    how critical is installed valve spring height?

    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...

    how critical is installed valve spring height?

    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...

    Noisy speedometer cable

    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...

    how critical is installed valve spring height?

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

    Anyone seeing some good Black Fridays deals?

    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:

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

    how critical is installed valve spring height?

    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...

    Annoying TV ads part 15

    Firing Frieburger and Dulcich is what ruined motor trend TV. I've got 60 or so Engine master shows on dvr, NOTHING since the firing. I think I might have spent a half hour on MTTV once, about two weeks ago.

    Noisy speedometer cable

    New cables are garbage, lube original one. Speedo can cause the same sound, from personal experience. Pull it, WD40 the heck out of the mechanism, specifically the sealed up pot metal part, which should have a small hole or port to put WD40. Use the end of an old cable or something that fits...

    Question on lead additive

    Be careful of octane boosters. When they say "increases x amount of points", some mean point points. Say it says five points. It doesn't mean a 91 goes to 96. It means it goes to 91.5
