    Does this prove David Vizard's 128 lsa formula ?

    Yeah, the .050" thing was introduced just to kinda "level the playing field" and be able to compaer one to another. But when the wheel comes out, it's a different story.

    Preach it, brother! So many times people grab something shiny and new and try to reinvent the wheel.

    Timing sprocket gear loose against cam key.

    JP/Rollmaster. Search it on this site. No tellin how many hits you'll get. Proudly made in Australia and very high quality. It'a all I will use now. Melling is made right here in USA. Cloyes sucks and always has.

    Timing sprocket gear loose against cam key.

    Well of course it's gone. You tightened the bolt down. You better believe it though when it's running, that cam sprocket will probably rock back and forth. That crap wouldn't be in any engine I built. Rock on, brother!

    Timing sprocket gear loose against cam key.

    Exactly why I always advise against getting an engine kit. You're subject to someone else's decision of what goes in it. That's about the crappiest timing set money can buy. I've said it time and again. If you don't pay around or over 100 bucks for a timing set, you're gettin a crappy one.

    Intake (heat shield) and metal gaskets?

    Most guys who tune for performance and have any sense at all, tune their engines to run as cool as possible anyway, so if it was mine, I'd just take it off and find the nearest trash can. It's funny you never see shields on new aluminum intakes. I know, "they're aluminum, blah blah, blah". Hot...

    Intermediate Shaft Wear

    The brass shavings are likely in the oil filter. If you have a billet roller, you have to run either the brass gear or a composite gear. I think those are your only two choices with a billet core. Did you ask Oregon what the core is? They can grind cams on any core you want, so you need to be sire.

    Napa Gold now made in china

    Yall need to remember too, that just because something is made in China doesn't automatically make it crappy. There's just so much coming out of China that you're naturally gonna see more bad stuff. There is some junk coming out of China, but not all of it is. As an example, the distributor in...

    They sure are. This is from their site. "Who makes SuperTech oil filters? SuperTech oil filters are made in the USA by Champion Labs. They are manufactured in six different states through the collaboration of Wix and Walmart. Their prices range from $2.97 to $4.27 per filter and have a service...

    Steel Louvers

    First off, you have great fab skills! I wish I was half that good. Now to what you asked. I think if you made less space in between them.....like maybe increased the number of louvers and made them the entire width of the back glass that they would look really good. If those two things make sense.

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    I don't need to see his video, but I thank you. I did alignments and suspension work for the vast majority of my working life. The turn plates don't have a thing to do with what I am talking about. It the spindles were not inclined and the caster was at zero, it wouldn't matter. But the spindles...

    Valve adjustment.......

    And that's cool. We all do things differently. Even on stone stock engines, I adjust not running. It's worked for over forty years and it'll work for forty more if I'm around. lol

    Napa Gold now made in china

    It always has been. That's how companies stay in business. What's different is, they used to care about quality. Now most of them don't give a damn.

    Napa Gold now made in china

    WIX went global close to ten years ago. So NAPA and WIX are still happily married. All of neither is made in China. You may get one made in China. Maybe USA. Maybe Indonesia. Maybe India. Global? Get it? Only reason I know is because I was in management with OReilly a while and remember when it...

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    Because the unlocked brakes allow the wheels to turn, which affects the caster measurement. If they are allowed to rotate, it's impossible to get a correct measurement. Not to mention, with the DIY caster gauges, what are you turning the front wheels with? The tire. With the brakes unlocked, you...

    Help me find the umph in my 360

    Honestly, I think it was hit and miss. Maybe Karl @krazykuda will chime in. He worked the assembly line for a while.

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    You cannot get a measurement on caster with the brakes not locked. Caster measures the arc that the spindle makes during the caster turn. If the brakes are unlocked, there's no way to get an accurate measurement. The wheel rotating on the spindle will greatly affect any measurement you get.

    Well that's good. Now we'll get to see what kind of integrity they have. Keep us posted.

    I've not paid enough attention to even notice that. With the modern seals that are on the market nowadays, the shields really are not even needed anymore.
