FE Technical Forum / Re: intake leak
« on: January 10, 2025, 11:11:24 PM »
I have done several intakes with the tried and true original JB weld over the years. I have an old port O sonic that I did 8 pushrod tube's in over 30 years ago, ran it hard for 5 years or so and wouldn't hesitate to put it back on an engine now.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Future of Jerico
« on: December 21, 2024, 01:49:51 PM »
Anyone know the real scoop on Jerico ?
I have heard so many rumors the past few days including,
Shut down for good due to embezzlement.
Bankruptcy.
New owner taking over but just making service parts.
G force acquiring them.

Did some swapping a couple weeks ago at the swap meet and picked up a couple pairs. Used the most basic for the dyno headers.

After a 6 month hiatus on this project I was finally able to un bag it and start back working on it some, atleast on the weekends during October. Spent most of the summer working over on the eastern shore and burning up alot of my vacation days on Thursday and Friday's going to all but one of the pdra races. It was a busy summer to say the least. Racing season is over and I'm finaly working back close to home so it's time to get back to work on this thing.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Jerico DR 4 disassembly
« on: October 23, 2024, 09:59:03 PM »
I hear ya, I have a spare CL 4 with a long shifter installed under the bench, got it in 2011 and it's only seen jack stand time. She's been ready to go if ever called on though. . Need to get rid of it but not much market for the older Jerico's .

Just curious as to why you rather go through the trouble and change the input shaft on a new transmission rather than changing the disk. My assumption is you must have a good supply of disk already.

When I put the stang on the chassis dyno a couple years ago with the clutchless jerico I hung a bunch of weight on the clutch and they made the pulls it in 3rd gear.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Spark Plug Hole Bad Treads> Heli Coil?
« on: September 14, 2024, 10:03:07 PM »
Lots of different types of spark plug rethreader's, inserts, repair kits out there from basic to "professional". For what it's worth i used a cheap rethreader kit from Amazon and repaired 2 holes on my old 360 beater truck about 10 years ago and have had zero problems. I did loctite them in and always use anti seize on those 2 plugs.

I run a Deka 900ca in my race car. It's 5 years old and still kicking. I do keep a maintainer hooked to it at all times though.
