    Yella Terra rocker arm failure

    I ran a set of T&D shaft rockers on my 351 SVO with Yates heads when I ran Super Gas back in the 90s. Cost a pretty penny but absolutely the right choice for that application. Larry Torres makes some mighty fine products!

    As the wire wheel turns...and disintegrates

    When I was selling welding supplies, we sold a brand called Weiler. https://www.weilerabrasives.com/ Actually had some training from one of their factory guys at our store. This was waaaay before the internet came to town. I learned I was NOT using the correct brush for the job as well as...

    Yella Terra rocker arm failure

    I've always had good service and product from both Harlan Sharp Rockers as well as Comp Cams. Just curious what the attraction might be for the YTs?

    CC 351 Cleveland valve springs

    I ran the conical single springs on my 302 Stocker engine with no issues. While the lift was only .444" the rate of lift and closing were pretty wild. I think the "soaking up harmonics" is a lot of B.S. Actually, as I understand it, the beehive style are better at preventing destructive...

    Car Cover

    California Car Covers My first one lasted 30+ years. (Plush Weave) It went with the car it covered when I sold the car. Lots to chose from depending on your needs. Good folks.

    More ripoff tactics from Speedmaster / ProComp Electronics / AT Racing World

    Yep those money grubbing butt holes at NHRA will slink as low as needed to fund their outrageous pay packages.

    Headers

    I read the article and stand by my statements. Mine come from actual experience not theories. Besides I'm not putting any credence to someone's writing who can't even spell "break" correctly! LOL I'm done with the subject.

    Headers

    Sorry but you have it backwards. Long primary tubes are better for low rpm/torque. Higher RPM engines prefer shorter primaries. A lot of videos are made by keyboard physicists who haven't got a clue. Check out NHRA Stockers that generally don't go much over 7000 RPM. They use long primaries...

    Oil pump shaft drama

    For years I never used the lock washer on the pump shaft on my engines. I just always "finessed" the shaft down the distributor hole into the pump with a telescoping magnet. Once you have the shaft in the hex at the pump you just laterally slide the magnet off to the side. Once you put the...

    Problems getting response from CJ Pony Parts

    Customer service these days is a joke. Very few companies especially, mega corporations, could give a s*#t about it. That is until their business takes a dump in profit from a bad economy or their own arrogance. THEN they just can't help you enough. That is until the bank accounts get well...

    Cast Iron Head Repair?

    It's absolutely possible to salvage the head. But you may want to compare the repair vs using a different head. Of course if it's one that's scarce you may just have to repair what you've got. The key thing is that the repair is performed by an experienced, competent shop. If the weldment...

    Another poorly repaired nightmare of a Mustang

    I believe he was saying it would take 30K to fix a car the customer paid 10K to buy. At least I hope the poor slob that owns the car didn't pay 30K. If they did they didn't get taken, they got raped!
