Way more then you need or want to pay for.
Gotta snow machine/blower or lawn mower one around or can borrow, just to try out & see what it'll do?
Setup car with a quick connect plug for a jump when it isn't happy starting.

Does the fire ring miss them, might have trouble with those nasty gaps from the brass plug fix/replacement?
Otherwise, beautiful!
Thanks.

Jed, Does this manual have specific information regarding the Webber emulsion well designs? If you've been searching for 'Webber' stuff, try searching for "weber'. Capital probably won't matter, but one "b" sure will. Also, there is no rhyme or reason to the Emulsion Tube numbers, ju...

Certainly innovative.

How long they been like that and what kind of use/abuse did they receive while they've been in there? What do they look like now, wear pattern & size/clearance? If they're perfect now, then they've just gotten broken in, leave'em. If there's going to be a serious increase in load, spring, RPM an...

pull.png Is this an endorsement of stud over bolt, or a tip/warning not to have the threads flush/start at the deck but to be relieved, either a chamfer/countersink or counter-bore down 2 or 3 threads, or something else, whatever? // Stock/OEM bolts are fine.

Twice now.
Gotta source of incremental for your stem size+?

Will work on a repair sleeve/liner.
Might work on bronze but doubt it.
Won't work on cast iron.

I'd go for which ever has the least chance of shorting, offers the most protection when disconnected.
Imagine your home with everything reversed, even if the wall receptacles recessed.

Notice that the Permatex guy doesn't write anything about RTV sealing gaps > 0.15mm / 0.006in like the Victor R lit. does? I'd never use it on/between 2 machined surfaces and the .006 min. still seems too small to me. It doesn't actually seal between machined surfaces, it's the bead of goop squished...

Dry clutch allowed?
Can see some might say it's a non-allowed rotating engine or gearbox part.

...wear a groove in two lifters (not rotating). Same lobe and/or lifter each time, spin free in the bores? They've absolutely positively gotta move, even cranking it over by hand, though that sticky assembly lube might stop/slow it down it till diluted. If they don't move, every one, don't even bot...

Aren't those teeth are pretty forgiving, the Eccentric is overkill.
Also, paying a premium for an unnecessary slab of aluminum.

Shaken not stirred, not James Bond's drink, the Red Dye?
