Re: HELP....conversion needed..

This converter says 11 kg/m is 79.5 lb/ft. 10.5 kg/m is 75.9 lb/ft https://www.convertunits.com/from/kg-m/to/lb-ft The conversion seems simple enough to even do manually. 1 kg/m equals 7.233 lb/ft (2.205 lbs/3.280 ft) Divide each side by 3.280 to get lbs/ft, which should give you 7.2xxx lb/ft is equ...

Re: ridge reamers

I mean, if it's only for performance-oriented stuff, that pretty much cancels out any talk about flatheads, doesn't it? Considering stock 4 cyl family sedans today make more power than they do, is that really a performance-oriented engine? I'd say no, whether it's making the stock 60 hp or a built 2...

Re: ridge reamers

You guys are tripping.


So if I posted about a stockish rebuild in GENERAL DISCUSSION, you're going to leave because it's not performance oriented? You're going to cry because it's not a racing engine?


Really? Lol

And you guys talk about C H A D. Kettle? Pot is calling.

Re: ridge reamers

Using a ridge reamer on a PERFORMANCE engine is in my mind "MICKEY MOUSE" "RUBE GOLDBERG" and Just plain stupid!! Here's why. If a cylinder has cylinder wall wear deep enough to require the removal of the ridge it's most likely let's say .004" to .007" deep and this me...

Type in "how to use a ridge reamer" into YouTube's search box and hit enter. https://youtu.be/2vBYo5_Ks2Y There are plenty of others if that one isn't good enough. I didn't watch it all so I cant tell you whether he's doing it correctly or not. With just a cursory glance, it appears so but...

Re: OHC Pontiac 6 parts interchangeability with Chevy inline 6?

Could this be the Topline company in Argentina? Seems like it likely is just glancing at this link. I saw cylinder heads.

Re: Morel lifter failures

There were no photos to post. The OP didn't have any failures and they never posted any in the original thread at yellowbullet. Did you need to see what 5374s were? 5436s? Were talking about hyd rollers(5374) vs mechanical(5436) roller lifters. Why would someone repost photos from a thread on a diff...

Re: In case you didn't have anything else to worry about...

I tried to point out to them that a very, very small USB device could be inserted unnoticed in an open port. It would not matter if the machine was logged onto. The device could mask its presence from the user. If your hardware is accessible to a hacker you're pretty much toast. Aside: I was receiv...

Re: Streetability mods

E85 availability in the Rochester NY area looks pretty poor, so imo that’s not really a viable option in the case. Rochester NY is ONE of the Delta Sonic car was/gas station locations that apparently has the 100 octane unleaded gasoline at the pump. The owner of this car could inquire. Or... How ab...

Re: Anybody try valve spring oilers on a SBC?

Most of what I've seen are adapters. That go between the head and valve cover, like these posted at the following link
