Wow! A simple “refresh” and “taking care of some odds and ends” has led to 5 week project but I’m almost done. It all started when my starter gave out and had to tow it to the shop. I hate like hell having my car on the back of a rollback. Anyway, I’ve replaced the rear main seal. I found a...

I currently have 4 inch tall chrome valve covers. I noticed they are touching my rocker shaft in all 4 corners. Found the noise! Beating like a drum. Any of you guys know of some that are straight up on the edges that will clear? Thanks.

This has probably been discussed before but I need a refresher lesson. What is the best measurement to set valve lash on an unknown solid lifter cam? Preferably cold.

This is a Ford 429 BB I have at work. Machine shop checked heads and put on new double springs to match the cam we bought from them. So easy right? New cam, lifters, and check heads. Flat hydraulic tappet no adjustment. POS didn’t last 5 minutes and we can’t figure out why except crappy parts...

I wanted to ask you guys, from experience what brand heads do you like the most? Out of the box bolt on. Which one has the highest cfm flow? Thanks

So thinking about pushrod length, other than where the rocker meets the valve tip. The cam controls the amount of lift. If I have no lash is the length important? Does it depend on solid or hydraulic lifters? I think yes but buddy says no. What do you all think?

Hi members. I’m sure describing a noise on a post isn’t going to go to well but I will try anyway. I have a whomp whomp noise between 60-80. It doesn’t change “that much” whether on/off the throttle. But it gets loud and very rhythmic. Almost sounds like something is going to break. There is no...

Wondering what the general consensus is on a fluid damper. Yes, they are expensive. The claim is they should be used on a modified engine but the 440 is internally balanced. Waste of $? Just want to hear the community’s opinions. Thanx

Hey guys. I put a carb spacer on last week and fumbled up my cable adjustments. I've got the throttle cable perfect. But now my car shifts thru 2nd really fast. I read an article that said the kickdown arm on the transmission should be in the (about) 1/2 way position at idle. Like where you can...
