    Crank gear differences

    I would say that unless you have the corresponding cam gears and matching chains to the crank gears; you have just so much scrap metal; they sell them as sets for a reason.

    How long is my helmet good for?

    If foggy memory serves me right, Snell foundation up dates their standards every 5 years, so ( for arguments sake ) if your helmet is Snell 2015 standard, next up date is 2020, so ( again foggy memory ) rule book states that helmet must be current or previous standard; 2025 standard will render...

    Is this the correct book for small blocks?

    Although I do not have personal experience of that particular book; in the past I have found books printed by S-A designs to provide adequate information. In my experience, I read everything I could get my hands on. The Mopar Performance engine book is an excellent source, as is "How to Hot...

    To jump a tooth requires a slack chain; find out how much slack you have in your chain. remove your distributor cap, put a ratchet on the crank bolt, start with the damper on "0" slowly rotate the crank until the rotor just starts to move; remember/write down number, rotate the crank back in...

    Re using cast iron rings?

    Here's a question I hope some one can answer.........If a ring is seated to a cylinder bore, how can it's removal from that cylinder and then it's re-installation to that bore ruin it's seal?? I realize I'm the heretic in this discussion; some one has to do it.

    Re using cast iron rings?

    I'll get killed for this, I say go for it. Learn something, the acquisition of knowledge is not with out effort; when done you will know with certainty if it can be done. As already stated put the rings back in the same hole they came out of, think "how does a ring know it came out of it's...

    Drive shaft loop

    I will suggest that you put a hoop at each end of the driveshaft. the one on the differential will probably be a custom made piece; I've not ever seen commercially made units. The one up front keeps you from pogosticking; the one on the diff keeps you from doing this

    Who knows, who cares.........the whole event paints quite a picture of just who/what Autozone is, behind their facade!
