Yikes! Aeroquip must pay dividends when you come in the store?
I am definitely going to plumb the "catch cans" into the system. Do I expect them to be 100% effective? Not even a chance. I just hope the system is manageable enough at that point?
The valve guides do need lubrication but what is enough and how much is too much?
When I see the dried crusted remains of the oil stuck to the back of the valves, then it's time to tighten them up again, until the next time?
One of the racers is advising me that the crankcase REQUIRES around 10 " to make the top piston ring seal. The positive effect of creating that is a 25hp bonus that wasn't there before.
He's a drag racer so some of these issues he doesn't have or if he does, only for 10 seconds or so?
I am mentioning that because I think all these factors interact. I appreciate you sharing that information.
