If you're still looking I have the passenger set, 2 for the seat back and 1 for the seat bottom trim. This is the trim only with all the attachment posts in place.
you don't want to hone the lifter bores just to hone them. too much clearance will cause low oil pressure at idle. the lifters should be checked to make sure they slide in before honing. they should have cleaned up the oil return slots a lot of rough metal that might break off.
That is not what the Red X means. It means I disagree. If you can not handle a disagreement than you probably shouldn't interact with people.
Some cars kept their original wheels. Hell some kept their original tires after 50 years. If you ever had a car of that caliber than you'd know that it...
I think the #1 cam bearing will give plenty of oil for any street or street/strip cam.
I have done Hughes cams, which require matching Hughes high pressure valve springs installed on heads at time of break-in. Hughes requires those springs be in place or they will not guarantee the cam. I would...
Thank you all for your replies and your comments. The wagon was parked in 1982. When the engine was freshened a few years ago, I was told the A/C System still had some pressure when it was dis-connected. The wagon was kept in a garage in Anaheim, CA and there is no rodent or other critter...
I’m not even sure if I’m going to be able to make it because of work but my shop is about a half hour from there at most.
You’d be welcome to park here.
No I couldn't do that as parts here (Canada) cost a fortune and then he adds more (even though at first he said I would get everything at his discounted account price). Like the pistons I paid $600 off summit and he quoted me over $1200. I just cant do it, it drives me mad even contemplating it...
The lifter bores look fine, if it were my block I'd clean them up with some red scotch-brite and wd-40 to remove residual rust and dirt. Just make sure the lifters move freely in each bore.
Just my humble opinion, I’m no expert. Everyone says to go roller on the cam. I’m at the same place with my 440 build that you are. I’ve decided to go with an Isky hydraulic flat tappet with Isky lifters. Mild lift. .460 lift.Key Is I believe is seat pressure at break in. Will be using my old...
Yes I agree the heads should be ready to go out of the box but I figure since everyone says they are not, I should use the service they have and get it done I'd guess.
I was hoping I tell them the cam and they would shim the seated height and such for that. I hope...
I'm looking at these...
I remember something like that from when I removed the seats 20 years ago. I think the spring to the other side is gone, as I didn't feel it under there last Saturday. I'm about to go out there today and see what I can find.
Thanks!
