Re: Lack of power questions

Alright I'm back at it...so my valve clearances were bad, really bad, 6 of the 8 were around .004.. so the question is ...is it possible to pull the cam replace the lifters in the car ? Or do I need to remove the pan and flip the motor upside down to install adjustable lifters ?

Re: Lack of power questions

Thanks for the replies...I did file the ends of the valves to get .010 clearance...didn't do anything to mess up the timing..the motor starts rather easily...when installed new valves I just cleaned up the seats, and dropped the valves in and gave them a good whack with a hammer..was that a bad idea...

Lack of power questions

Ok... I had my engine out and replaced the valves and rebuilt the transmission.. put it back and can't get any power out of the motor.. first I thought maybe my transmission was binding, but I've dont enough tests to rule that out..spark seems good, rebuilt coils, nice pink spark at the plugs. My in...

Re: What is this ??

Okay. It's a rainy day here in PA. It's time to bolt the transmission to the crankshaft. There is nothing unsafe about using lock washers there correct?

Re: Turn Signals vs. Hand Signals

So... is it ok to use your passenger to signal right turn with their right arm? Or should you use your left arm the textbook way ?? People might think you are deflecting air into the cab when signaling left turn...when I am by myself I usually signal right turn with my right arm, even in my fordor.....
