Re: Maybe time to increase our shop hourly

Differently industry but I just raised my rates from $165 to $190/hr since the beginning of the year.
Not one customer has complained about it.

Re: Ford Cleveland NASCAR cylinder heads

I can remember Dick Trickle telling me about them when he came to Wi Dells to race one weekend. He sure seemed to think highly of them.
I would love to see a pic of them.

Re: Racing parts sales scams

I have a pretty nice BBC street engine for sale locally. Some guy wanted to buy it and handed me the cash, but I always check the bills with the marking pen and then saw some that had the same serial number. After I said something the guy got a little Squeamish so I took his picture and the bills, ...

Re: HEADBYTES

I remember when I found his channel on YT in the early days, I didn't know what to thank about him :). Reminded me of a used car salesman. I wish I knew who the porter in Mn is.... I live in MN. I only had two sets of heads and they both came from Spier in Kansas. Nothing but great things from here....

Re: who bored and balanced this block and crank

Call me nuts but I would rather have a couple of well built clevors and a 65 Ford falcon from my young days.

Re: rebuilt engine started but getting hot quick

I would figure out the back firing first. What ever this is might be the cause of your over heating.
Are you carb or EFI?

Re: How far a moderator of Don Terrils Speed talk can go?

My thought is everyone is a big boy. Both people in the thread offer a lot of knowledge whether we like the attitude or not.
I tend to let Mike worry about what is out of line and what isn't.
Get on Vizards YouTube channel, he discussed the situation.

You can also sign up for BARD, googles AI.
I write a lot of software and ask it questions on how to program and it answers them perfectly.

Re: Another oil bypass question.

I get that Bill. But a bit confusing now bc most in here promote a by-pass eliminator. Now I get that boat engines are under load all the time, and cruise most of the time @ higher than automotive normal rpms. I understood this to be the oil being filtered 100% of the time, isnt that a benefit? Jus...
