Tonight I bolted it up to the car. This weekend I'll try to fire it off.
I'll post a notice so you can listen for it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Here is another tip from my engine builder:
When running dual valve springs, use some big fat rocker arm shaft studs or the little baby stock ones will pull out of the head. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Stock on the left vs big fat on the right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

But Paul, the part that threads into the head looks the same size. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

The head end is the same size. Look at the other end. |

But.... that thread will hold a tremendous amount of tension.... I have used them with triple springs with 500 pounds over the nose and revved to 8K with no sweat.. I use these studs on EVERY engine I build, even those that have single springs.. The weakness in the stockers is those shitty 7mm nuts! I have stripped them clean off the studs and left the rockers laying on the floor of the dyno room. Paul, Go fire up that bitch!! |

I must have misunderstood what Paul said. I thought that he said that the studs pull out of the head. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Definitely beefier looking studs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) Ought to be a screamer Paul!! |
