got the heads back, Darryl did a great job on these, he used Howards cams recommended spring pressure 200/250 closed and 600 fully open. He changed the keepers to 7 degrees I believe. milled the valve seat to gain the clearance for the .600 lift cam. He had some questions and contacted Howards...

welcome from Michigan!

Bad ass car, congrats!

deck height is really close to 0, ran a straight edge across and is flush across on most and maybe just extending very slightly on a few, nearly unmeasurable. Not familiar with the "quench" process. The pistons are flat tops with valve relief cuts in them. I always thought zero top dead center...

Got the cam dialed in today ended up with a 107 centerline the cam card said 108, time for assembly. Picking up the heads friday, but also picking up my a 86 Grand National from the paint shop will be buffed and ready for reassembly. Gotta get it ready for auction in may. have to get the...

My friend around the corner from me got me squeezed into a 6 month backlog for them, gonna get it pushed through early so he says, just happy to find someone that can do it. They do drink a little so that is an option.

rings have been file fitted, pistons installed, rotating assembly complete. Haven't heard from the head guy reworking the Edelbrock heads I have. Will have to touch base with him this week, don't wanna bother him and be a pain in the ass. He's super busy and backlogged of course.

Google has taken over, :lol: going to check into Brave. Haven't seen the skip ad, advertisement though, thanks for the heads up.

Very nice!

Well made it another round. Down to the final 4, I'm up against the orange GTO, so if you guys aren't busy would appreciate it. What are you workin' on?® Tournament

Amazing how many super cool cars are there a half a world away. Very cool, stay safe!

plastigauged the mains and rods, very consistent across the board. Set the crank into its final resting place with the ARP studs at 110lbs. I had an issue with the main cap that the last guy did. The studs were wrong and did not bottom out in the block as required according to ARP instructions...

Well I won round 1. 3 to go. Dropped off my heads to have the valve bosses machined to clear my .600 lift cam and with add some beehive springs to them to keep the solid rollers on the cam. Used the spring specs from howards cam to get the right ones. Was looking at some new heads but all the...

Yes, Bob is the chit. I got a repro for my AAR last fall. super nice.

Best wishes to the new owners. :thumbsup:
