Re: New to the Club

Re: 440 Engine build for friend

no probs only caveat with the roller rockers is aim for correct length pushrods so that a minimum of adjuster thread is sticking out below rocker. the threaded section needs the support of the rocker body. too much shear stress and i've seen pictures posted here and elsewhere of them snapped off. ob...

Re: 440 Engine build for friend

would you need to bush/restrict oil flow to the lifters as well? i know nothing about big blocks but on some motors even with retrofit roller lifters, the length of the lifter bore, the way it intersects with the oil gallery and the cam you run means that top section where the roller is i.e the &quo...

Trying to fix up the de mist and aircon unit vents Plastic manifold on the car is the wrong one. It's too fat and won't allow fitment of the diffuser The thin one necessary for the job is in a right old state They are polypropylene. I.e. pretty awkward to glue So I chopped up the fat good one, and p...

Re: Aircon heater vent tube

That was the plan. Expected it to be made of poly. So armed myself with pipe glue. And discoverd it doesn't have any impact on the plastic other than making it white. Was hoping it would melt and fuse. "Affix" style. No such luck Resisting the temptation to apply the soldering iron to the ...
