The one I would choose off the shelf for that would be Mobil 1 FS Euro 0W-40 if your bearing clearances are good for it. I know your getting beat up with questions, but would you know how similar or not the Mobil 1 FS Euro 0w40 is to the Mobil One Super Car 0w40? I acquired a decent amount of the S...

What happens when a carb is just to big for the engine ? Does it run real rich ? Even if the carb is factory calibrated to supply the amount of fuel needed for the amount of air its supposed to deliver ? thanks Brian A good carb runs just fine. One that sucks will be lean Yeah I got one of those cu...

I'm surprised there's no love for the 2.02 valve, since this engine will be 4412 restricted it will have high manifold vac at high valve lift, assuming a 2.02 flows more at low lift than a 1.94 (it bloody better) that's one way of getting some fill from a week port flow situation, I'd have thought....

What heads? I don't see where its listed

I wire wheel blocks down to bare metal till it starts to shine. I have done that a few times. "I'm not looking for a pretty finish too, instead something that looks about the same as the original paint." Depending on how far you wanna go, you could put a flattening agent in your catalyzed...

Any single stage catalyzed auto paint. I agree. Just comes down to how nice you want it, and how much effort you wanna put into it. Bare block, good self etch primer and a good catalyzed single stage or base/clear. Nothing looks better or holds up better. All the cans are shit in terms of shine(ove...

The standard Scorpion Rockers are Dump Trucks.

Your 357 finally made it past the sim stage?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKNnuACW8Ls Towards the end of this George talks briefly about abandoning the flow bench for pro stock bike, its limitations and the weird shapes that a flow bench can tell you that you need.....that aren't good for power. Not to say there isn't some still using them ...

Yet every cylinder head and intake ever produce has been improved upon by some guy with a die grinder and a flow bench... Yeah, and a lot of them aren't as good as they were before a "pro" went at them with a grinder and a flow bench. I've run across quite a few heads over the years and s...

I just watched Eric video on the the AFR intakes as cast,cloverleaf only removed,and ported . As expected the ported intake fattened the curve a few. With a ported set of heads to suit the cubes,rpm etc I think that ported AFR intake would work well. Unless I missed something. The engine was around...

If you can make Av gas work for an application. It is an absolute bargain cost/dollar/quality in my opinion. But has always been a topic people like to argue about.

What about a Team G do you think is better that a 2975 vic jr?

I agree. I think this regularly gets lost in the mix.
