Re: Speedsters
Spot on. How do you like the handling? 91", 7 inch engine set back, 6 and change lower in the front and 6" Z in the rear. That is an excellent build. You have a good eye for balance.

Thanks Kevin, when you machined the head did you surface it or rework the cc? This head is one of the new ones out of LA, haven’t checked the cc volumes, outside of a quick depth check with calipers.

Re: Valves, springs, guides and tappets - Speedster
Thank you Dan, are those “fi” exhaust valves? Or F 1? Doesn’t look like the guides have been touched. You can't put A guides in a T block- too large a diameter and A valves are way too long for a T block. You don't need to put hard seats in either. Look at using small block Chevy valves- Regular siz...

Re: Clearing out my book shelves......take a look!
There are some amazing books in there. For my quarantine reading, I purchased “Tribute by Trophy” by Rex Hays and “Speed Hill-Climb” by CAN May. Have many of Mr. Mays books, his 3 part in trialing in England is a blast. Does the copy of Monkhouse have a dust jacket?

I'd like one that comes up to just above the cross plate in a brass radiator, think that is about 5.5"? 7" is a bit to much.

The irony is partly in the time elapsed, not the communication, Rootlieb was forthright in their issue. (Didn’t want to come across as being perturbed with them or that they didn’t perform). How ever, probably should have dropped you a line.

Thinking of a directional change, instead of a model A box, using a “bolt on” (side to side) box for the speedster. What are some generally agreeable applications that someone would be willing to part with? A period piece would be cool, if possible (and in budget).
