Machine new.

Watch the prices for non knockoffs rise . I may be wrong but the knockoffs do help hold down prices. Please don't misunderstand,I am not in favor of cheap crap or even quality outright knockoffs . They do serve a purpose however.

Give it just a bit of time and we will see. It won't be long. $$$ seems to trump all. I do hope you are right though.

New name,same game will be played.It will all take no time to happen.

Packard v8 gave some good advice that I would pursue first. Then if nothing could be made to work I would not hesitate to machine from aluminum or brass bar stock. It would not be difficult to add eccentricity into it either.

This is true for drag use. A pan or sump reservoir heater is wise to use then .

The scariest part is all the BS horror stories.99% of which are wild exaggerations or are not actually the fault of ethanol.

I have run e85 for many years.I am a firm believer that 99.9 % of issues are due to running pump e85.

True , but in doing so it is also pulling the crank back to tdc under power assisting the compression stroke of the other piston. Seems like theoretically the engine makes power throughout t...

Has anyone used/had experience with Manton (pushrod guys) shaft rockers?

Which ever one you choose, put a steel rocker on the exhaust side..........you will thank me later. FWIW I would go steel especially with those ratios. It was approx $1000 -$1500 extra for the steel vs aluminum. Money well spent IMO. I'm done with aluminum rockers.At some point the risk vs money sa...

T&D told me to measure to the tip of the valve stems to the surface of where the stands bolt down to get a good height. Jesel hasn't said anything about that yet, lol. By next week I'll know because I'm gonna order something from one of those companies. Jesel told me that the various cup teams ...
