Reply to "Edelbrock heads"

I totally agree with you BW. In the day, I actually collected valve covers from various engines and I would hacksaw them down the middle in order to get the socket in. This stopped some of the mess. I never tried the small little clips that you could attach to the rockers push rod side to deflect the oil down. I asked Crane about adjusting them while running and they said don't, but gave me no reason why. Doug, I agree with you on the solids. I really wanted a solid roller cam from Crane but with the Edelbrock heads the max lift I could go was .600 and Crane has no solid roller with a smaller that .600 lift. I did ask Crane if I could give up with the hydraulic and go to a roller solid, since it's a roller I thought no problem. They said I could but the ramp on the lobe is slightly different with the solid, not quite as steep I think. But Doug I do really like solids, even the little clatter sound of valves adjusted perfectly. I still have to put my stud girdle ono now that they sound OK, BW, I'm sure you are right, I'll find some tight and some loose. It will be very tough to resist adjusting them again, no , no no ......
