    Machining work 516 heads port work/bigger valves/hardened seats??

    ...gentleman already know what the cam cards will give you in terms of performance. This video by Richard Holdener, has done a few Dyno runs with cams that only changed the LSA while keeping the cam specs the same, i thought it was a good video to help me visualize what the difference in LSA...

    Electronic ignition conversion tips

    ...any day over the Chevy based HEI crap! I'm sick of people trying to make their Moats into Chevy pieces of crap with ignition, crappy Chevy lobe camshafts (Comp Cams) and coil over spring front ends! Friends? I'd rather pay Mancini more than buy crap! I own a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk...

    Happy to have found the C bodies

    Thanks for your reply, David. The cams look good, so does the lifters convex surface. As I interchange the lifters, the problem follows. I just had a look into Kanters Website. They have lifters, apparently suiting the engine. Their geometry is slightly different. They don't have the tapered...

    78 New Yorker Windshield Wiper Assembly

    I have the proper cams for the 78 New Yorkers. They are machined on a CNC machine. They are a much better material and thicker than the originals. Email is marv.gingrich@gmail.com if you still need some.

    Helping hands

    Melling, as a company, has been around for ages. BTAIM There are also cams sold by Mopar Perf that are re=-packaged COMP Cams and such, from their specs, so it can really be a crapshoot as to a good brand these days. As to the Mellings-brand cams, they usually somewhat mimic the stock specs...

    Is my new build doomed because I bought a flat tappet?

    I watched the video and here's what I think... IMHO... The guy is selling roller cams now and not flat tappets. He wasn't making enough money for the work and time involved, so he sold his tappet grinder and concentrating on roller cams... and this is a camouflaged sales pitch. In other...

    Aftermarket Steering Wheel on '71 Tilt and Telescope column

    ...I want to get the wheel fixed first. The way the lock on the telescope function seems to work, as far as I can tell, is that moving the lever cams the center bolt up and down, so if I am very lucky, the solution may be as simple as finding the correct length bolt and tightening, maybe adding...

    what is best oil to use on 1978 Chrysler with 400 engine?

    Valvoline VR1 20w/50 for me. It is a high zinc oil for flat tappet cams.

    your mtd-2 cam specs are intake 204 duration and 421 lift. exhaust 214 duration and 443 lift on a 112 LSA. since nobody likes comp cams have David check out Ultradyne Bullet cams. intake and exhaust 214 duration and 480 lift put it on a 110 LSA. faster ramp built for the .904 lifter. I will...

    Cam Concerns 68 Polara w 383

    ...to mind, or how it was cleaned after grinding, but I could also see it happening from how you cleaned it up too. I have seen this on other cams that worked just fine. So, it's just stains and not wear. I'd use it. EDIT: Thinking on it, they put a phosphate coating on the lobes of a new...

    General A727 Potential R&R questions/suggestions.

    there are other cam companies taht make similar spec cams that dont have the problems of Comp. Also check out Oregon cams, they can regrind your original into whatever spec you may want for less than a new cam would cost. They also reface lifters so you dont have the metallurgy problems of...

    Compression check eval - chasing oil loss

    I meant the Restore and Protect oil only seems to come in 0w or 5w, so maybe 5w30 can be used. I mostly run Rotella T4 15w40 otherwise. Also add some TC-W3 to each tank, and the more I think about it I may just be seeing the burnt off carbon coming out of my tailpipes vs oil, especially after...

    anyone try Valvoline VR1

    ...sure how loose the tolerances are on your motor, but the 15w50 Mobil 1 (only the 15w50, not their other weights) has enough zinc for flat tappet cams. I've been running it in the 440 in my car with the .590 MP solid cam for 4 years with no issues, but the motor has been together since the...

    ...certainly look into all you mentioned. I am in need of a new cam as the existing ones lifters are worn but that's with 58 years under the belt.....and based on that I would assume the camshaft is also worn beyond service life. Saying that could it be reground and just replacement lifters...

    ...treatment is not applied well. No real advantage other than cost, to me. Back in the middle 1950s, hugely well before new 0ff-the-shelf cams were around, some places would regrind cams. With the smaller base circle, more lift was achieved from a stock cam. It didn't cost a lot, either...
