I got into racing, because I'm not interested in all the car showing, etc. Then, the first time on the track, I make the cover of Victory Lane. The photographer even snapped the picture before the BM

After destroying one valve train, I'm trying to do things right this time. I took two sets of new lifters (one from TRF and the light ones from Moss) to be hardness tested. All of them tested less th

I hope I haven't gotten everyone upset unnecessarily. I've seen Greg Solow's posts about hardness in the archives, and that is why I decided to have the lifters checked. The machine shop said they co

Greg Solow's post in January said he typically gets 52 to 55 for OEM lifters. I just had a set tested that ranged from 48 to 53 (note: these were measured on the 15-N scale and I'm converting to Rc).

On the TR 3/4 engine I'm building, I need about 0.040 more spring height to get the right seat pressure. Will it hurt anything to cut that much off the valve seat pocket on the top of the head? Thank

We haven't heard from anyone interested in sharing the carports at Hallet. I'm going to let one of them go tommorow, so we don't get hung paying for space we don't need. I can't believe there won't b
