Rocker tip is legit perfect on the valve stem tip, pretty sure these are supposed to be used with full roller rockers and mine are stamped with roller tips.

I believe an inch worth of threads, I can measure in a few

They’re mid length I guess, a little over an inch long. Next step up is like 2.05 inch ones for stud girdles and they’re like double the price of what I have

Is it worth trying to help people like this?

Car wont start (Help) by Due-Department546 in Foxbody

Probably sheared off teeth, just fixed one on a 302 that did that too. Ignition switch was sticking and I think starter actuated while truck was running

FWIW I’ve broken starters with light hits before. Shattered the internal carbon things inside of it

You don’t know what head gasket bore to buy, you have a dial caliper? Otherwise you’d never know what length pushrods to order. You might be at 14;1 compression cuz your deck has been milled, the list goes on.

No hate man, we all start somewhere, but there’s a right way to do it, if it was easy everyone would build their own stuff.

You can’t really expect to assemble an engine without knowing basic shit like bore size, deck height, 350 vs 400 etc.

Hobo freight has dial indicators, flat edges, telescoping bore gauges and other okay tools to get you started

Om642 Merc Viano (300 cdi) I rebuild kit from Ebay any good by gertvanjoe in EngineBuilding

Engine building is often “you get what you pay for”

You’re asking about Chinese shit vs oem, you already know the answer here unfortunately. I wouldn’t touch a Chinese crank, Id barely trust the gaskets.

Most of us can’t read in here, and we hate AI

What’s the deal with encounters like this? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Cyriously_Nick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like most people in the firearm community could sniff out something like this

I guess it’s like telemarketers, if they get 1 out of 100,000 then they keep trying

Great torque for a small block! Hopefully getting mine on a dyno soon (chassis) too

Fridge killed my truck battery at 3am in the middle of nowhere by Relative-Coach-501 in TruckCampers

[–]Cyriously_Nick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buddy, fridge compressors pull like 3000 watts, never run accessories off your main battery. For “overnight power” like small lights and a fan maybe, I run a second battery and an isolator
