And that ****** and Ford were best buds....in many respects they were revolutionary but well both also had their demons.
The roller cam helps with the uncertainty of break in.
Yeah Henry Ford was not a very good guy regardless of what people think. I watched a documentary on the History channel about him and well he gave the order to shoot those people and in that day an age there wasn’t the moral constraints on business that are sort of practiced today. Dog eat dog kinda thing. And just thing you can buy a Harley edition truck lol
Ha! You will always run into something unexpected, but you can get most of the big stuff done in a long weekend. All bets are off with a serpentine swap, unless you have a local parts store with a Summit Racing type inventory.
Some things to think about:
I have had all of the above problems and more when changing heads from stock to aftermarket. And GM Vortecs cause even more problems.
- Spark plug thread size and reach
- coolant temp sensor thread size
- rocker arms -- standard rockers with guide plates, or self-centering rockers?
- push-rod length
- Will raised valve cover rails on aftermarket heads cause valve covers to interfere with anything, such as AC compressor or alternator?
- Will the new heads' exhaust ports work with your manifolds or headers? Lots of newer heads have raised exhaust ports. You don't want your headers/manifolds or gaskets to cover up even a tiny part of the top of the exhaust ports.
Hope I didn't rain on your parade.
Like murder
Yeah. 9/11 prime example
Go figure!
Retro lifters?
