    Yella Terra rocket arm failure

    YT is one of the few rockers that Jim Miller names as having proper geometry to follow his Mid Lift setup on both sides of the fulcrum. In other words, at mid lift, the valve stem will be at a right angle to moment arm between valve and trunnion as will the pushrod to trunnion moment arm. All...

    Yella Terra rocket arm failure

    I'm glad they are taking care of you. My question is, do you believe the rocker did not have the pushrod cup installed? I would think that it would have been obvious something was wrong on that rocker/valve position during install. In particular, the lifter preload step, for hydraulic, or...

    Yella Terra rocket arm failure

    Wow, that's pathetic! I get that the warranty period has expired, but this is not a worn out roller tip or trunnion bearing...this looks like a manufacturing defect to me. I won't be recommending their product again. If you're up for the possibility of a verbal beating, you might consider...

    Engine Block Number

    The VIN Code for the engine will tell you what the factory installed, but engine swaps are not uncommon. Just something to keep in mind.

    HF New Jack Stands

    I had 2 sets from the recall. I waited until they had one of their 25% off sales and took them in for refund and bought a pair replacements and broke even. The beam on the recalled stands had shallow, rough-cast teeth that didn't fully engage with the catch mechanism.

    Yella Terra rocket arm failure

    Strange things can happen, glad you're confident it won't go through the screen. If you're not able to fish it out, I suggest finding a magnetic drain plug....rare earth magnet, if available.

    Yella Terra rocket arm failure

    That's too bad, YT is supposed to be top notch. Hope they take care of you. I'd also be very nervous about finding that missing cup. I've seen lifter circlips pulled through the oil pickup and lock up the pump.

    Gone in 60 seconds? (1974 film)

    I love watching the old car chase movies, but this is one I can't seem to ever find...it's always the remake being shown.

    vent duct tips

    Without going into detail, how did you wire it in? It seems a parallel circuit to the differential pressure switch might work?

    vent duct tips

    Is the Brake light (the warning light in dash panel) supposed to illuminate when the parking brake is engaged, on our cars? Mine does not and I've never looked into it. Edited to clarify which "brake" light I'm asking about.

    RPM Rust Prevention Magic

    Thanks for the feedback. Still want to hear from anyone who has used the RPM. Will look into the T-9 products. I have a jug of Ospho and another similar product called Rust Mort. I use them as paint prep on rusted metal. This reminds me that I need to wipe down the roof on one of my...

    RPM Rust Prevention Magic

    Have any of you tried this? I saw this on a recent episode of Graveyard Cars. The reviews seem to indicate that it works well, but not for very long. It would sure be nice to have a DIY treatment for bare steel parts to resist corrosion with something that doesn't involve paint. If you've...

    383 Stroker

    Obviously, it's your car and you're free to do as you choose, but why not just sell the mustang and find a GM product for your engine or vise-versa? I'm anti-brand swapping muscle cars.
