Yah as Coloradoracer said, I think they're big with boats.

Proper thread length, oh I forgot thread engagement & diff metals

Also of course the torque needed depends on the strength of your bolts to achieve proper stretch, young me would just throw in some hardware store shiny gold grade 8 But current me will be happy with with grade 5 or even hardware store low grade SS(at a low torque). [side rant]ARP or Chrome everythi...

When I was young, tight was good enough but as I got older I try n torque everything(now being able to afford multiple torque wrenches). That said oil, thread sealer, thread locker, anti-seize And crowfeet or I've read excessive extension length & multiple extensions effect torque! Some by as much a...

So would you break in a flat tappet cam like normal And then switch to these lifters Or use a cam specificity for them???

edit: Also I assume this would make flat tappet cams with these lifters more reusable engine to engine.

I have an older non-ST version of the Billet Melling that I got in a good deal. It's a nice pump, even with the lightest spring it had more oil PSI cold/hot than my old stock type pump But I did mod/port it a bit for flow.

I was bout to toss out this flyer in a recent order and noticed the Comp DLC Lifters, Also the Driven carb Defender, might have to try some of that.

As others said efficiency, just cleaning up n blending bad edges/alignments, Intake manifold & exhaust as well.

"non-embedding compound" Reminds me of a post I made on a machinist forum years ago asking bout what hone grit to use for some cast iron holes. Several proceeded to tell me how I'd never get the girt out and maybe it would never be all out But people hone valve guides, cylinder bores and mains every...

Tried some of the Permatex 80036 Valve Grinding Compound 4 Grit In One tube 120 150 180 220 and it seemed to work fine at first but then left grooves. Must of got some of the finer grit at first then some courser that made the grooves. I read somewhere the Permatex was like 80grit, so decided to get...

Yah I've used thread locker that is who knows how old. Tho I do now try and keep it in the workshop and not leave it out in the garage all winter But still use some of that stuff that was out there for a decade or more LOL

Think the 12v HF ones are more for window defog, at lest the small one I saw was used for that.
