lippy liked post by DanEC On thread : Fine metal particles in PCV catch can

Lippy - you might clean out your catch unit real well and let it go for awhile and check it again. As a result of this thread I pulled mine off of my Mustang this morning and it had 3 - 4 oz of oil...

I'm not familiar with this setup, but after a quick search, it seems like it's pretty common with modern vehicles (Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers, etc.). I think the general consensus is that it is...

lippy liked post by RodKnock On thread : What's the appeal of an aluminum engine block?

Just facts first. I think I counted 8 owners of alloy blocks on this thread who said that the reason for buying an alloy block was weight. Your BBM weighs 250 lbs and my Shelby alloy block is 125...

With the air cleaner off, if a bowl has flooding problem (needle and seat etc), then the booster venturis dribble fuel onto the throttle plates. Then the engine needs to recover from the flooded...

lippy liked post by olddog On thread : vac advance or not for FE Cobra

I decided to graph the same data with Advance on the Y axes and % Load on the X axes. There is a line (series) for 750 rpm, 1000 rpm, etc. You will notice that for 4000, 5000, and 6000 rpm the...

It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out who this "new guy" is. If you search his other posts, you will see that it used to be 601HP. Using a little deductive reasoning, you'll know that I...

Just thinking out loud, as I've never had to do this... But any reason you can't blast it off with a high pressure hose after heating up the pipes a bit to soften it up? Ps. As far as big boo...

lippy liked post by blykins On thread : 428fe, or 427fe, which one do you prefer? Please no other engines, thanks.

lippy liked post by blykins On thread : FE valve lash question

You can do it that way but it's much less accurate when you're working with a cam with lots of overlap...like yours. For experiment, I've done it both ways and there were about .002-.003"...

It's because all solid lifter cam lobes have lash ramps built into them. This is a slow acceleration portion of the lobe, meant to slowly ease into things. You can close up the lash a little...
