I know i have seen some old Engine (probably 1920s) with 4 valves
and "fork" rockers. I dont remember if it was car or
motorcycle engine
[/quot
Suddenly today it hit me where i saw those fork rockers
it was on a Packard Merlin Engine
They got one Engine displayed at the Airport. I was waiting
for the wifes plane to arive so i had plenty of time to study it.
That versions of the Merlin Engines got excentric rocker-
shafts so when you rotate the shaft you change the rocker-
ratio
For what it's worth the Wilwood kit on the front of my 69 Mach 1 saved 40 pounds over the stock disc brakes. Seems like that is pretty much in line with what rcodecj measured. Mine also came with spacers, but they were wider, .060" I think.Hmmm thats the weightsaving my wife tell me i need to do to my self
I hate to say it, but Subaru Turbo flat six hanging out the backAhhh i thought it dont looked like a vw
It'd be a wheelie machine!
If you use a motor plate using the water pump bolt holes how do you get the water pump pulleys to line up properly?
I see two options: 1) machine the block face the depth of the block plate or 2) machine the back of the water pump which really means you also need machine a spare.
Never heard of either of these being being done so I'm probably overlooking a simple solution.
