Thread: quick re-ring

well if you have the room use a +050 valve lock then throw a 060 under the rotator elim if you need the spring back to set up. the retainer will mover up 050

I actually kicked around the Idea of not running seals on the exh. what is the worst that would happen, smoke on startup obviously but what other harmfull effects. this is not a street engine and it only runs for 5 minutes at a time.

i ran a 468 with no seals at all on the street was not as bad as you think i ran open breathers and if you take some RTV with a tooth pick when retainer are on fill the valve lock gap with RTV this helps from oil running donw the keeper lock gap

I finally got around to testing this pig out on my little test track this weekend, and I am impressed with the results. before the rebuild I could only get 4300 rpm out of it in third gear, so now it pulls hard right to 6000 in all gears. I was shooting for 5600 so this is a very good thing, a big thanks goes out to all that helped ( especially Pat). hopefully next weekend she'll be bringing home the big trophy.
