My experience with galvanised exhausts is that they eventually rust badly. You've got to think of where the exhaust is located and the temperatures and other abuse it is exposed to. Galvanised under ...

Yes, 85-100C is a good range, but a sensor off a tee won't have a constant flow of oil over it and will give dodgy readings. Ideally you want to be measuring where the oil is constantly flowing over ...

What oil should I use in 100+ desert climates to keep my motor cool and still lubricated?

Wrong place to ask a question like this...

I ran 15W40 quite successfully in the desert here, as did my ...

Crank turning with the oil holes regularly lining up, tappets moving up and down, things are occasionally going to find a period of oscillation. Couple of pounds is nothing to think about, especially ...

They look like they are cut for E85 or race fuel above 100 octane.

Nice Mnemonic Dr - shame you have it ass-backwards. An engineer by any chance?

If you have a loud exhaust, and you are young and inexperienced in mechanical matters, get the straight cuts. They won't give your engine any benefits other than bragging rights, but they might impres ...

Yes and yes. Pop over to shoptalkform where there is a sticky that covers all this.

Mark you got some good time on a flow bench? I bet you learned alot of interesting stuff especialy from those small block mopar heads. If you can learn how to make those two center exhaust ports flow ...

The pipe plugs and threads are tapered, so you can have a problem if you tap too deep. There is a pipe sealant from Loctite that will cover a range of such errors. but I seem to recall it being grey.. ...

How are you supporting the bushing. I would replace the contraption at the big end with a knife edge. Make up a mount for a snap-off or stanley blade and it might make your measurements more repeatabl ...
