I’ll look, under what heading?

Any extra I can buy?

Could be food?, my Grandfather had that same issue. He was born in 1894, died in 1974. Not too much processed food in his life time I would think. Lower aorta aneurism got him, I have a stent there now myself, dad had one too.

Does the intake ride ok, or is it too far outside? Pull the alignment pins out of head then shift the whole assembly to align up. Once that head bolt is tight I doubt the stand will move around. I’m thinking seriously of putting one piece stainless valves in my build after seeing that mess on...

Same problem I had on my Miller tig, searching many problems, thought it was the gas with bad welds on aluminum. Turns out the timer gas valve was sticking.

I still have maybe 9 of those, still looking for MORE! What makes it so good (and pricy) is the pharmaceutical coating. Last I checked they can be bought but it’s like $800 for 25 pounds.

You got a number for that rod? I have two blocks and 6 heads to fix. All Hemi stuff so you know the values.

Remember the number on a Holley power valve is when it opens (6.5 ,8.5, 10.5 inch’s of vacuum) engine ‘vacuum’ holds it closed till it drops BELOW that number. A power valve has nothing to do with how much fuel flows, that is controlled with the restrictions behind the PV. “idle mixture...

How does intake fit to head, what gasket are you using? Spray carb cleaner around ALL gaskets-ports, if it speeds up it’s leaking air.

If so I’ll try surfacing them on my lathe with a grinder attached to post, using a very fine stone. Wouldn’t take much to wiggle the grinder to get a crown. I have a drip cup to apply a splash of oil on the end. A diamond cup stone would be great, I’ll check Goodsons

See if you can see or measure the crown? Is it to a point in center or a radius side to side. That is where I’m sending mine.

Every lifter I’ve pulled out from any engine, from the 50s till they went roller, has been FLAT, ie worn, no crown. I never looked at them before till this issue came up. Makes me wonder.. Almost every engine had springs around 100 pounds or less closed. An engineer once told me spinning the...

Not a good idea, let them run you off. Ya never want it to be your choice, who ya gonna bit uouch at then?

What I would do, it keeps the floor from rusting and fills all the nooks and cranny’s

I need the roller lifter hold down on the Magnum engine, it bolts in the lifter vally.
