Welp, that’s hilarious lmao. I’ll try to use cognitive disability in a sentence later with a few friends. So have you guys had problems with...
I was reading through and realized the discrepancy here, my cam is 221/227 at .050. Advertised duration is 273/279.

Much better lmao, but still not wasting money if I can help it. [IMG] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I grew up poor as shit, lol. I've always loved cars, but never had the money to play. This is a pay to play hobby. I've got entry level $$ these...

Google'd cam calculator: It's very accurate. I wish it would allow me to enter a cubic inch/RPM scale/gearing/tires/etc........
I was unaware the cam manufacturer's numbers couldn't be trusted. I'm not surprised though. Quality has been sacrificed for the power of the...
Tommy that’s f’n genius! Thanks for the tip! I’ll buy another container. I’ve used it on tons of different stuff. I have ATV parts sitting in the...
2500 rpm.... smh.... that’s inefficient. With an 1800 - 6200 rpm range, I didn’t know it wouldn’t be happy at the bottom end of that rev range. I...

Not at all. I'm prior service, you gotta have a soul/dignity/self-respect to be offended. I miss the mark on all accounts. Thanks for the heads up.
The heads leak at every valve, plus the springs would need an upgrade for the added lift. Local shops quoted $5-800 to service the stock heads (I...
I'll use the engine in another project for sure.
I forgot to mention, the misfire was probably due to the heads (poured fuel in the intakes/exhaust and every one leaked) or the spark plugs (.060...
Not anymore abuse than the norm. Occasional WOT, but most of it's life will be 1900-2300 rpm on the highway. I'm doing an engine refresh. New...
Thanks guys! Sorry for confusing the terms. I meant ICL. This is the only part of this engine build I've had any difficulty with..... Everything...
Should I retard the cam? The cam I installed has me at a loss. I got some advice from the machine shop that installed the cam bearings, Lunati's...
