  1. Yea not cheap. Its amazing stuff, will last a lifetime.
  2. Get some PEEK and make your own. I think you can get sheets of it in various thickness from McMASTER CARR
  3. What is considered more accurate plastigage or micrometer? What do professional engine builders use?
  4. Should this be done before or after seal install or both before and after?
  5. That is one good looking crank! Is it new or refurbished? The groove in the mains is new to me. Looks like a good idea.
  6. NXT! Thank you for all the VALUABLE info you provide. Much appreciated!
  7. I believe buick started oiling through the push rods when the 455 came out in 1971. The solid push rods are the correct ones for your 430 assuming you are using the original rockers.
  8. Thats exactly what im trying to do but with a 430 and 455 cam. Thanks for posting the nailhead chart!
  9. Great info John ! I just finished up degreeing a camshaft from a 430 buick engine. It is the original camshaft . Trying to figure out amount of advance ,if any, the cam has. With the info you provided im assuming i can subtract CL from LSA to get advance value.First I need to figure out what the LSA is. Still learning ! Thanks
  10. John lobe separation angel ( LSA ) is measured in camshaft degrees and cannot be changed. Its ground into the cam. Intake centerline angel( CL ) is measured in crankshaft degrees relative to the crankshaft being at top dead center. Intake centerline angel can be changed by removing the camshaft and rotating for either more advance or retard.
  11. Follow instructions ? What instructions did you send ? The answer is NONE. You put a second hand vacuum advance, a poorly hacked advance stop, a module that did not work with twelve volts knowing full well that i wanted to eliminate the resistor and points. On top of all that you installed the rotor wrong which i corrected. Never once did you ever mention that the module would require 9v. Had you articulated that I would have made it known to you that would not be satisfactory. I paid you $390 for a job that was junk right out the box. But putting all that aside , the worst part besides your shoddy work is that YOU DO NOT STAND BEHIND YOUR WORK. Had you offered to make it right I would be telling everyone that you are a straight shooter and someone solid to do business with. It is best for you not to respond to anything I may post in regards to anything i may be giving away or any services that I may be seeking. If you insist on doing so know that I will out you for the thief that you are.
  12. Are you trying to be funny? After you ripped me off for over $350 on the shoddy distributor conversion ? You need to sober up or get off the drugs
  13. ONLY if you own a 1968 and dont have one. NOT for resale. First “ill take it “ gets it
