    Pushrod Length Question

    I'm measuring for pushrods on my 470 build with solid lifter cam. I've taken the measurement with checking pushrod at approx zero lash with two threads showing on the Harland Sharp rockers. Should I reduce the pushrod size to account for lash. I think the card is around .018" hot. How does that...

    Stuck Roller Rockers

    Any tips for getting rockers off shafts that were apparently over-torqued on the end bolts without destroying the shafts? The move just to the end and get stuck.

    Holley surging after rebuild

    Wanted to bounce this off you guys. I decided to swap from a Victor intake to an AirGap on my 360. Was running decent before considering I just took it out of storage after 6-7 years.

    Got Hi Comp Pistons?

    Got some L2355 .060 over 440 Pistons. Considering switching to hi-comp pistons as it appears the best I can do is about 10-1. Since this is a race only motor would you go with L2295's instead? Looks like it would take the motor from 10-1 to 12-1. Looking for 500-550hp. Have mildly ported 906's...

    Mig Welder Choice 110 or 220

    I'm a novice welder. I own a nice 220v Lincoln setup with gas. Done some small repairs. Striker replacement, fender repair, etc. Never tackled quarter panels. Would I be better off with a 110v with gas for the quarter panels? Have to keep the 220v welder really low or it will blow thru. Thanks.
