Re: Shorter valve length?

When I rebuilt my U67 head because one of the brass seats fell out, I had the machine shop replace all the seats with steel and at the same time, machine the pockets to accept the larger 280Z 44mm intake valve seats. All resulting in the correct protrusion of the valve stem once all was ground and ...

Re: Shorter valve length?

Seems obvious that a shorter stem length is the cause. 1/ I know you shouldn't, but how about re-grinding the seats and sinking the valves slightly? A mm or two is well within reason.

In order to get the correct valve lash I am needing to set the rocker pivot height ridiculously tall. I've put in thicker lash pads (.265 at the thickest) which didn't fully corr...

Rotating camber plates

If the 510 camber plates mounting pattern were equilateral (I can't check), would it be possible to rotate the camber plates to gain caster as well as camber? It seems like some subaru guys are doing it. http://dave.oc7.org/images/2007.09.22.subaru.challenge/misc/images/DSC_6386.jpg It's getting lat...

Rod ends on trailing arm

I was reading up on the different adjustable rear crossmember kits and I kept reading about binding being an issue. So what if you used a a rod end for the outboard bushing? I actually found a picture of a setup that guys in Japan sell, except I think these have the rod ends on the inboard side: htt...

Toronto Canadians

I'm in a little desperate situation. If there are any Canadians in the Toronto area (or willing to make a visit to Toronto) I'd be very happy if you could help me.
It's just something out of a store.

Not sure if this is against the rules?
