FE Technical Forum / Heads up, Harland Sharp rocker shafts
« on: February 11, 2025, 06:15:42 PM »
Was having trouble sliding rocker assys. down over the mounting studs. Upon inspection I discovered stud holes in the shafts are off center as much as .025 and as most of you know that converts to .050 tir. I have corrected this on my shafts but not everyone has a milling machine handy. Now don't get me wrong, I love my HS rockers and am aware HS have a fine product. Just something to be aware of.

FE Technical Forum / ARP rocker stud torque
« on: February 08, 2025, 09:39:10 AM »
  Despite my meticulous record keeping methods (huh?) I cannot find the data slip for my ARP rocker mounting studs. Not wanting to guess at it, someone please chime in with the torque spec for said studs. Thanks.

FE Technical Forum / FLYWHEEL BOLT PATTERN
« on: January 18, 2025, 03:15:21 PM »
Do any of you have FE flywheel bolt pattern dimensions either in XY straight line charting or in degrees ( I believe all holes are on a common BC dimension). I am making a flywheel balancing mandrel and do not wish to transfer locations from a flywheel, might end up with a bad copy of a poor original!

FE Technical Forum / reuseable head gasket
« on: December 28, 2024, 02:15:58 PM »
  To what extant and under what circumstances are Cometic MLS head gaskets reusable? The set I have are quite thin at .026 if it matters and I am using ARP head studs. Also FYI my actual bore size is 4.270 so I ordered 4.400 gaskets and the gasket clears the bore with approx .060 or so quite evenly all around.

FE Technical Forum / cometic MLS
« on: December 21, 2024, 10:08:55 AM »
   Question, do the quoted bore sizes for various head gasket applications (Comedic specifically) refer to the engine bore size or do they refer to the actual diameter on the gasket? Info that I have seen seems murky. My application is a .040 over 427 FE .030 compressed thickness. As these are a bit pricey I would prefer to order the correct gaskets the first time. Any info appreciated.

FE Technical Forum / Survival heads
« on: December 12, 2024, 03:36:36 PM »
   Has anyone reading this recently ordered and received Barry's new FElony head bare castings? My concern is not with the heads but with timely delivery. I am aware that Barry can be difficult to contact at times due to a busy schedule. Don't want to sit around wondering if they will ever show up. Is personal pickup an option?

Vendor Classifieds / WANTED Toploader shifter
« on: September 11, 2024, 04:03:06 PM »
   Switching from C6 to toploader in my '60 Starliner. I have scored a big in big out Galaxie transmission but now I need a shifter. Not just a shifter but linkage and shifting arms. Factory Ford or Hurst would work. Project items OK.

FE Technical Forum / Toploader hydraulic throwout bearing
« on: September 07, 2024, 08:16:01 AM »
Switching from C6 to big input Toploader. Is there a hydraulic throwout bearing setup using OEM production components. The aftermarket conversions seem to be rather lavishly priced. I do have machining ability and machines in case modifications are required.

What generally is the consensus regarding the PROMAX cylinder heads? Quality, performance, are they imports...what?

FE Technical Forum / Lead substiute
« on: June 26, 2023, 06:21:45 PM »
I'm wondering if anyone who has been using MOTOR MEDIC lead substitute and on disassembly noticed a black buildup on the back of the intake valve. At 1,000 miles an unrelated condition required heads off and that is when I noticed this. Seems sort of sticky and resists removal with a wire wheel way more than a carbon or oil buildup would. I may have overdosed because I did not actually measure fluid ounces but just took a guess (figured not too important). I'm using the stuff because my exhaust seats are factory cast iron. Also, do I really need this additive?

     Does anyone out there know of a coolant recovery cap to fit a '60-'64 FE surge tank? A P/N or application.

Can a solid roller lifter run in a solid lifter 427 block? How about a bushed lifter?
