All,
This is my first post on this site and I can't think of a better way to start by giving a big thanks to Tom Lucas for solving my engine problems. I have a SPF with a 428 fe that was drinking
oil more than gas. While other mechanics tried to guess at the problem, Tom quickly identified the issue ( the
oil return wholes in the aluminum heads were too small causing
oil to be sucked in with the gas). One quick trip to Tom's in Sacramento, and larger holes in my aluminum heads have made this new Cobra owner a delighted customer. Tom has my vote, not only as a good guy, but very experienced with fe engines.
I am not embarassed to say that I have no mechanical abilities at all. I couldn't tell you the difference between a float and a power valve. However, I do have a new respect for all of you out there that understand how various engines work, and can build the most beautiful sounding machines from a pile of gears, iron, and wire. VERY IMPRESSIVE...my hats off to you and your capabilities.
