    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    Reversion air flow happens at idle (low rpm) with higher valve overlap cams. The intake valve is opening, when the piston is still moving up. At higher rpm and power the exhaust gasses have enough...

    For the torque to be 1.5 x the displacement, you have to be near 100% VE. To get near 100% VE north of 5K RPM, you have to be doing a lot of things right. This is not your every day run of the mil...

    No vacuum advance will make your engine do exactly what you describe if you set it at 10 BTDC. It needs the vacuum advance to run properly at anything other than WOT. There will be people who...
