    Oscilloscope purchase advice for testing electronics

    Considering the engine analyzer(s) with which you are working, a high bandwidth oscilloscope is not required. I suspect even a 20MHz scope would be adequate, but I would go for more than that. For selecting a scope, think about the following: - Bandwidth/response: Determine if possible, the...

    Lifter preload tolerance..

    Agree with your statement about revs, etc. In my advice to the OP I was going to mention that the lifters have "nearly a quarter-inch of travel so don't worry", but decided not to confuse things beyond his original question. Bottom line: Bolt it all together.

    Voyager 1 and 2 still alive!!!! 38,000 mph!

    Venera 13 was initially expected to last only about 30 minutes due to the harsh environment. However, its robust engineering allowed it to surpass the previous endurance record set by Venera 12, which operated for 110 minutes. This remarkable feat occurred on March 1, 1982, when Venera 13...

    Lifter preload tolerance..

    getting all the preloads the same will not give you any performance gains. but having too little or too much will cause problems

    Lifter preload tolerance..

    the factory lifter has 200 thousand travel. the factory preloads I have seen were over 100 thousand. i had the stock retainer clips pop out because of too little preload. not enough valve spring pressure will cause lifters to pump up a lot more than 100 thousand preload. 5500 rpms was red line...

    '66 Newport turn signals

    I have a '66 Newport and am having issues with my turn signals. I flip the lever on and as soon as I begin the turn, the lever "returns" just enough for the signals to stop flashing but doesn't completely cancel. Once the turn is complete and the steering wheel begins to return to center, that's...

    Lifter preload tolerance..

    .065 is a good number in general, but when I was building VERY high-revving 340s (including T/As) I was setting preload (w/ adjustable rockers) at .040 because I was concerned about float/pump-up. Cold start noise was not an issue, of course.

    Lifter preload tolerance..

    The FSM does not address preload because there is no provision to adjust it, and no need to be concerned about it because of the amount of plunger travel and valvetrain component tolerances. It does talk about lifter noise. Typically, a bit of trash gets in the lifter and affects the...

    Lifter preload tolerance..

    First, I think those Lunati specs are 0.020-to-0.060, meaning 20 to 60 thousandths. Not 0.2 to 0.6, meaning 2-to-6 tenths which is over one-half inch. Anyway, you just want to be somewhat close to those specs. There's plenty of tolerance on hydraulic lifter systems, which is why they're...

    ENGINE removal question on 66 Chrysler 300

    On the Mobile Director car I had to remove the front stub frame anyway for rust repair and when it was ready to go back in so were the fresh engine and trans. Loading the stub frame and installing the whole thing as an assembly was by far the easiest engine/trans swap I’ve ever done. Most...
