http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8130395#post8130395 Here is mine, it's nothing big but sure saves time. Valve timing on a freshly built SBC. Once you get the long block of your sbc built 1. turn the engine over till you reach TDC compression on #1 cylinder 2. set the exhaust valves on cylinders # 1,3,4,8 3. Set the intake valves on cylinders # 1,2,5,7 4. Now rotate the engine so #6 cylinder is at TDC compression 5. Set the exhaust valves on cylinders # 2,5,6,7 6. set the intake valves on cylinders # 3,4,6,8 now you have a very good base for startup of that fresh motor.

Is there any rule that says a guy can't put 2 tech articles in the contest? I have 1 that is fairly simple and another that is a little more drawn out. I would like to post them both but understand if only one entry is allowed.
