    Forged piston expansion

    I have a set of forged Ross pistons in a new rebuild. I'm wondering how much the block vs piston expands. The reason I ask is I decided to do a compression check at 1000 miles. I opened the throttle, but the engine was only lightly warm to touch. The readings were consistent at 105 psi on...

    Another Detent Question

    I recently upgraded and rebuilt my Transmission according to CK's book. I have a couple questions now that I've put 300 miles on it. I used ART Carr's shift kit....it seems to whack the gears in, so I adjusted the detent a good 5-6 clicks toward the Throttle body from my original adjustment...

    Venting Frustation!...take a look

    Just have to vent for a moment! I've been working on doing a 'simple' rebuild for over 3 months now, not because I'm slow, but it appears any defective parts available get sent to me. First I noticed the cam bearing surface 'Durabond" was delaminating on one of the cam bearings...no problem...
