Re: Power Nation Flathead
There are many housing options for turbochargers. Including some that can be used for BIG boost on our, cold exhaust Flatheads.

Re: C69A block
This is the reason, as I explained in my book, that a proper sonic examination can NOT be done in a matter of a few minutes. The cylinder bore must be probed in a grid pattern, with small increments,...

Re: 1936 oil weight suggestions
It depends. If the engine is new, 10-30 is appropriate. If well used 20-50 would be a good choice. It is a good practice to change regularly at about 1000 miles.

Re: Resurfacing lifters
