I don't have any lapping compound in the shop. When I do heads for other shops they sometimes ask if they should lap the seats lightly before assembly - I tell them I'll be pissed if they do! Prussian blue to check a valve job, blue the valve, tap on seat, clean the valve, tap on seat again & the b...

any non-embedding compound should do the trick.

im sure there's something to it, but unless you're sticking it on a lifted truck, room is gonna be an issue.

Choice 1 Remain slow, but not quite as slow. Keep the LONG RUNNER intake, and cam accordingly with a hydraulic roller around 220 @ 0.050" on the intake. May as well keep the 3.50 gear.

Normally don't watch this type of junk But figured I'd give a shot since there was nothing else of interest to me tonight. Still not finished it But it's interesting to see all the old vids clips. Some Dr supposedly found the cure for cancer and the FDA has been fighting to shut him down for like 4...

Their entry level rv type cam kit costs $100 more than the same cam from Elgin, and it's a good guess it comes from the same source. It's not just a guess.

religion, politics, carbs.. nope it fits 'em all!

id be looking at a 650dp, or 750vs.
