I’ve got a Milwaukee that I bought used , kinda smaller one, used it a few times and no complaints at all.    I’ve bought a vevor off of amazon to use as a sacrificial one for more abusive jobs but I haven’t used it yet.  The vevor was recommended by others on another web site as to be decent.   It was under $200.  They can be an amazing tool when space allows it to be used

This guy said he has seen some flaking of the bearing material in some high load applications and I’m not sure if that was an isolated incident or an ongoing problem with a specific brand or some other issue causing the problem.   I’ve only done stock style stuff in the last 20 years and most of the newer bearings didn’t even exist way back or for the applications that I have done since

What is the preferred or not preferred engine bearing now?   About to do a new build and was sent coated kings bearings and my machinist says he prefers others instead. Looking for some input.    Thanks guys

From my experience, most or all quick set epoxies don’t set up as hard and strong as the slow set ones .   And also, over time, the slow set seems to soften also.

Some brake lining is too hard .   It lasts forever but won’t stop .

There are different pinion yoke lengths.   Is it the same as before?   Put it on jackstands
And in neutral and rotate drive shaft to see if there is any runout on the tube?

I just had a 600 Holley go dead rich and first thought was needle and seat o rings, changed them out (they were in bad shape) and still rich.   New power valve brought it back around

Can a hydraulic roller be reliable in the 6500-7000 range.  ?    Existing combo wants to run to 6500 with a flat tappet and want to duplicate that without fear of cam failure.  I really don’t mind a solid flat tappet if it can be made reliable with today’s offerings

In a mild street build with a pressure fed block, where is the line drawn between hydraulic roller and solid roller?   I don’t mind the noise or the inconvenience of rocker adjustments.   And then what is the opinions of roller bearing lifter or bushing roller?

A low battery will definitely cause a ford solenoid to stick in start mode.   It arcs the contacts inside and micro welds it to gather.   You can whack it with something and it’ll go back to normal,,,,,,,for a while

Jay, is this going to be a one run of castings and done, or is this going to be something that you are going to be offering on a somewhat regular basis as demand permits?

If the coil says it’s compatible with 12v, then they are supposed to have a resistor built into them    I have run a resistor with a coil that says 12v compatible before with no ill effects.  Spark voltage may suffer.  Condenser quality isn’t what it was a few yrs ago    I have mounted larger ones outside of the distributor before on problem applications
