That's cool and all but is that bitch Dot2Dot and running yet?
 
Hey!!! This will be something you can tell your grand kids about someday. :D
he does not have to tell his kids about it , the story is all here on the pages of PB
 
I used to be on Bracket Talk but got tired of the jackasses that thought they knew everything so I left and never went back.
The YB gave me the boot a few years ago. Got an email a year or so ago saying I could come back, I replied FUCK YOU, never heard from them again.

I am a Mikey and been here annoying you all along the way! :)

What is drp?
I typed in drag race place and got a bunch of Ru Paul shit, but that's Yellow bullet. lol
It was a fun site a lot of us went to when YB went crazy. One day the guy that started it just shut it down. Gone, bye. Left a lot of us confused.
 
The valve train link was good. Glad to see they addressed the issue of the lock extending below the retainer. Advised to avoid that, but didn't say it was a big no-no either.

Strange to see they prefer 7* stuff while every engine builder I have dealt with prefers 10* locks and retainers, plus if the option is there they prefer bead lock over square lock.

Locks are funny things.
From what I've read it's not the part that sticks into the valve that holds them in place.
That just to keep it together while installing everything.
It's the clamping pressure of the retainer pushing the locks against the stem.
I'll see if I can find a good article or if maybe I drank too much cough syrup.
Colleting action is the term you are looking for.
Europeans and Japanese do the facepalm thing when they hear of 10deg.
6 degree, round groove are what they have gone to
OTOH, the valves are less than half the weight, and the springs are as little as 1/3 the open force. So, open question, still.


You can feed nylon rope or whatever through the spark plug hole and carefully bring the piston up.
I've never had to do that, but you can google it and see how it's done.

Yeah, it was weird. He and I have crossed paths on other sites and it's never been mentioned. I just wish he'd have given the opportunity to take it over to someone.
 
if I recall correctly, had it not been for auto-pay, it would have folded sooner.
