Thanks Rod but you have 482 inches of KCR bauxite.......and tons of aluminum!!!

And seriously-I would never give any guy on here bogus info. If I had one, I'd run the Aviad just like I do the Canton.

Well I agree you wouldn't do it on purpose....

Actually, Tom Lucas at FE Specialties built it.

It was 70 degrees and sunny today, so I took the Cobra out for a nice long ride for the first time in about 2 1/2 months.

And I tell ya, stopped at a gas station, and a passerby wanted to know if it were chrome paint. Gee, what a surprise.

You've just brought the Kirkham brothers to tears.

It hasn't been raining for 2 1/2 months...you could go to Cobra jail and your car could be confiscated for lack of use.

Ah, give me a break. We were away for holidays, its been raining and I'm busy dagnabit.

Plus, I like sitting here seeing who will win the Jeopardy championship. Chas or Patrick?

That's pretty funny. Hopefully Chas. has shaken off his earlier serial faux pas and is now busy preparing for Fat Tuesday.

Nah-I feel as bad as if I had sent a guy to the hardware store for any old clutch fork actuator...

Seems you just can't try to help guys with long-term experience-even if they ask. Drag race guys running 9's on 2 less qts of oil would laugh at street car guys fretting whether to use 10 or 11.

You're recovering from your chronic snow-blindness Mr Brice?

Use a better oil. The anti wear additive packages in all SM specified oils have been removed. More friction causes higher temps. Use Royal Purple 5W30. It has 400% higher film strength than anything on the market. You will like the additional performance as well.
The lower oil psi is caused by the fact that it takes less energy to pump a ligher oil around an engine. You don't need higher psi to do the job.
