Oh I’m glad I found it out before but the rev kit did save that engine.. those springs had considerable strength, the Max heads had no heat crossover so I made a stud to hold the bracket square in that spot.

Isky built the cam-rollers and rev kit for my engine (70s) the rev kit (springs over push rods to a rack under heads) on a general look see I found my valve springs had many 10 pounds seat pressure, I could turn retainer with thumb and finger. Engine had been turning 6800 like that. I changed...

I built MY first engine in the 60s. Nothing I’ve said is incorrect (edge meaning even .0001 from center is considered edge), cam gets smaller when grinding, in a sense it does but only on the base, when wanting more lift, too bad you can’t understand this. I know who’s talking rubbish

What is wrong with you? Are you an idiot that just loves to stomp around claiming you’re the best? Nothing I’ve said is wrong especially the part about circumference measurements or the ‘edge’, lifter cant turn from center. WHY do the Chevy guys want the bigger diameter Mopar lifters? To ride...

The roller is always centered to the lifter, cam is made to induce lift from center. It rolls up the ramp. Non roller lifters start to lift from the outside edge of lifter (on the ramp face) then move to the center then back to edge. Because of the taper on lifter and on cam lifter never rides...

Won’t work, 2 different principles

The point is NOT reground, what I been trying to ‘point’ out, only the bottom is. Just leaving the point the same makes cam have more lift and duration.

Also the reason one can’t measure lift with a micrometer it has to be set up to use a dial indicator going from base to point. So much more but we’ll discuss that at a later time

Again you can’t make a longer duration and more lift by decreasing the distance from starting to open the valve and closing the valve. The distance loss is in the base circle area. If metal is removed from base but the cam profile stays the same you gain lift and a little duration but lose...

Think about it, IF a cam is ground with the same or MORE lift and duration the lifter will have the same distance to travel. The only loss will be on the base because that’s where the cam is reground. They can’t add metal to make more lift or duration. Never heard of a regrind to make a smaller...

The base circle is the only thing affected by that, ramps and lift would be the same distance or more if bigger cam specks. The lifter on the base would see very little pressure from a hydraulic and none from a solid (lash). On my 509 hyd in the 383 I ran zero lash with adjustable rockers, I...

After any of the Chryslers engine were built they were test run using propane for fuel. There was generic hookups for water (hot) and the intake (no carb) done on a test stand way before being installed in the car, definitely not at 2200 rpm for 20 minutes. Just a break in engine oil (non...

Didn’t read all the posts so if I repete sorry. First thought is spinning lifter, it takes FRICTION between the cam and lifter to turn. If lifter starts sliding what happens there? Back in the day 60s & 70s springs were on the weak side for average builds so I’m thinking todays springs might be...

Now I’m gonna have to go through my box of stuff to see if I still have it (not ready for that piece yet!)

You forgot the buy them meals.

Speaking of tests. Vet school 1970, dead cow on table, teacher goes over to cow and sticks his finger up its butt, pulls out and sticks in his mouth. Telling the students you can’t be squimish when doctoring animals. He then told all the students to do what he did, after with a lot of gagging...

English is the hardest langwige in the world, 80% of college kids can’t read or write let alone add. Some guy on the street in college town was asking the students WHEN was the war of 1812 fought, they had no clue. That is what is coming out today. But they know ALL the singers and actors, yea...

This tipping has got to stop NOW! They’re getting paid to do the job nothing more.

Last year I was looking at the bare housing (I have all the rest) around $500 and change

Just the ability to get the precise preload on the carrier bearing is worth it, wether once every 20 years or every month on a race car. After doing so many I would’ve been very happy with them. I’ve looked into adapting-making adjusters on the stock housing, sleeve with a spanner nut is my idea.
