FE Technical Forum / Noisy solid lifters
« on: July 27, 2019, 06:56:44 PM »
I replaced all my pushrods after bending one and noticed the the ends of the Erson Rockers didn’t have plugs in them. I installed the plugs adjusted the lash and now have very noisy lifters and good oil pressure...75lb at 2500 rpm. The lifters were much quieter before adding the plugs to the shafts. Engine is running great just concerned with the chatter

FE Technical Forum / Black smoke high rpm
« on: April 28, 2019, 08:37:06 AM »
Car is blowing blk smoke at high rpm in 1st.....I pulled my plugs and all are black. I compared them to the set I pulled out which were perfect. The only other thing I did was to take a can of carb cleaner and clean the inside of the carb and blow cleaner into the air bleeds then adjust the idle mixture screws. Not sure what has happened or why the change!

Motor Idles nice and smooth to 1200rpm. From 12 to 1400rpm it is very rough. After that it smooths out again.

FE Technical Forum / Carb spacer/ air cleaner heigth
« on: March 23, 2019, 04:07:40 PM »
I switched to a 9” extreme air cleaner with a flat base and 2.25 high filter. Top of the air cleaner hits the engine hood and my choices are to get a 2” filter or change the 1” carb spacer to a1/2” spacer. Current spacer is open and I do have a 1/2” 4 hole spacer...

FE Technical Forum / Test for slipping clutch
« on: December 19, 2018, 10:09:28 AM »
I have a replica cobra with 411rwhp and 315/35/17 Nitto G3 tires. Pressure plate is a 3 finger Ram pressure plate. I can release the clutch pushing the petal about 1” down. When I hit it in 1st I never see any rubber on the street. I don’t smell a burnt disc so any suggestions on how to tell if it is slipping?
