"valve springs are most likely to fail in the first hour of operation"

from my text book for engine overhual class i'm taking.


so i would thunk the rest should be fine and he only needs 1 this is why i get extras

[1meanz]

this is exactly why im going to buy a set for a v8.

^^^ that's good info.... makes me feel better about the rest of the springs... :P

I *did* buy a V8 set.... but i sold the extra 4 about 6 months ago.... it's ok though, i got 2 new ones from GM, they're only like 9 bucks each, no big deal.... i bought 2 just in case :P

pulled the timing cover, the cam bolt was in fact loose.... i couldnt move it by hand but when i stuck the ratchet on it it moved a little.... but it's all torqued and back together and changed the oil, it runs niiiice now.... i got the lope

just need to get the tune ironed out so i can drive it.... it's rich as shit everywhere but WOT, there it's lean as hell... so i'm gonna not drive it til it's at least halfway tuned so i can use all throttle positions without the worry of blowing it up

[Superdave]

hahahaha.. sweet

you are damn lucky i just started working on your chip, it'll be ready tomorrow or so. Should be close enough that you can drive the car untill we can get it on the dyno.

better save some cash, you're gonna need like an hour on that thing to dial this cam in.

[IsaacHayes]

what cam?

[RedBird]

Grind #1617 in the store....

[Superdave]
