Looks good, Keith!  By the way, you can put your text outside the [img] tags if you want to keep it normal size - Jay

Thanks Jay, I'm trying to get it sorted out. I'll try and make corrections.

As for the caps, sometimes they are close, sometimes can be off a lot.  When test fitting them try 2 & 4 in both and all can be tried forward and reversed to find the best match up.  After finding the best fit up just stamp them for position and orientation.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Rocker Adjuster Wear - Rapid
« on: June 26, 2023, 08:22:28 PM »
I run erson rockers on My 445 FE. The rocker body's are stout and i like um. 750lb open, shaft oiling only, 6800-7200 rpm. Only minimal probs with rockers. 1 broken shaft but the DSC shafts and my modified supports took care of that. Have had 2 rockers than I had to replace the needle bearings in (over 70 passes) but otherwise no issues with the rockers or adjusters.

I used one of those $200.oo portable garages from harbor freight.  Worked out pretty well.

It was a great day for racing at MIR saterday.  Weather was perfect after some serious rain and storms Friday night. Things were looking good during the last round of qualifying for the fords. John Montecalvo held on to the #1 spot and Kurt Neighbor made it in on the bump. The field was 50/50, Ford/brand x.
Eliminations didn't go so well for the blue oval though.
1st round Johnny Pluchino just got outran, Alan Drinkwater shook hard around 100' , Jordan Ensslin had troubles down track, Derric Reese went red against Elijah Morton who put down a nice pass, Robbert Patrick broke and didn't make a run, and Kurt Neighbor blew the tries off around 60' against John Montecalvo who made a nice clean lap.
2nd round didn't go any better.  Only Montecalvo and Morton left. Morton broke and Montecalvo ran the quickest pass of the event but threw it away with a .007 red. All the fords were gone by the end of second round.. ☹
Still had a good time though catching up with old friends. Looking forward to the allstars race at VMP next month.

What "box" are you running ? How old is it ? Is it an older analog box or newer digital box ?

Rtv the seam then paint the inside of the wheel with a good coat of oil base paint or truck bed paint.

Looking for a pair of FE Power or blue thunder valve covers, either plain or with script.  No breather/fill holes (preferred) or O ringed caps are OK.
 
Thanks.
