Are those Global west subframe connectors? Ron

Welcome from Rhode Island. Pretty car. Merry Christmas. Ron

You are welcome. Keep us posted on it. Ron

Well, it is then time to pull that trigger. Merry Christmas. Ron

It is tough when dealing with a 50+ year old engine and relying on people's perceived memories of what had been done to it. That is if they even really know. My parents bought my car new so I pretty much know everything about it. As a side note I tend to stay in a job for a very long time and...

The only draw back of sleeves is that installing them is a very expensive operation because it is time consuming. compared to just boring the cylinders oversize. If it was my only option to save my original block, I would sleeve it no matter how much it cost. I am @ .30 over as of now. I am...

I would use the stock 1.73 rockers. It is what all Clevelands came with from the factory with. So, why not?

What cam and lifters are they? Yikes!

I agree with Mac on the Capsaicin tape from Honda. Although the little *******s go after the wiring of modern cars more than the oldies. This is due to the modern (Enviro green) wiring especially in Toyota and Honda products. They use soy and peanut based oils in the composition of their wiring...

Thanks, I run Brad Penn. Nothing to worry about with that choice of oil. Ron

I have measured the cam lobes and they appear to have proper taper. I agree with you that rollers would eliminate a lot of uncertainty and no break in. The down side of doing a roller is what Spike said: Not a lot of mild grind options for Clevelands in the roller World. The other issues are the...

It is not an age thing Chuck, it is our reality. I must say it does suck. Things are indeed crazy expensive. I am only going ahead with this endeavor because I bought the parts a few years ago before all the madness. Ron

Spike, Serendipity is today's theme. Funny, the shop I worked at also has a machine shop run by the owner and he is a great guy and did/does my personal machine work and machine work for the other shop I worked at. He too is loyal to Comp products. But he did have issues with their cams and...

I remember when you posted this and I am glad you got the problem resolved. Wasn't the problem possibly caused by your oil filter shedding fibers? Comp gave me a another set of lifters for free and I had the same result. The oil in my engine was always changed by 1000 miles or less and I use...

Thanks again for the information Spike. As I said I checked the lifter bases with a straight edge and they have the proper crown. I have stock rods. I have replaced the lifters on my engine 3 times due to noise issues with the Comp cam and their junk lifters. I have a set of Crower lifters in...

Thank you very much Spike. I think finding that information would help me and a bunch of other folks. Many Chinese made parts are in general lacking in the QC department. I know the Johnson HT900 were the go to flat tappet hyd. lifter for a long time. 25 years ago you had to worry a lot less...

Have any of our esteemed members had any experience with the above mentioned Isky "quiet" lifters in their builds? I am especially interested if anyone has had issues with break in problems (wiped out a lobe or lifter) or noise. I am particularly curious about lifters manufactured in the last 3...

I concur with everyone's sentiments. This country by political intent is becoming more secular by the day. The moral's we were taught as children are not in vogue these days. I am "only" 49 and I feared God, my parents and the police when I was a kid. Now I just fear God. Sorry for your bad...

WTF?

The circuit breaker on the starter relay on mine is for the rear defroster which I never use. Ron
