Re: engine rebuilder near Redding California
As I said and to be very clear, my comment is not about torque-plate honing as a necessity as much as a gauge of the shop's expertise in flatheads. If the shop has enough experience building stock...

Re: startup old engine
Checking static timing is never a bad idea and will not do any harm if done properly. If the OP can't check timing properly, he shouldn't be fooling with trying to start the engine and hire a...

Re: engine rebuilder near Redding California
If the shop doesn't have a flathead torque plate or cannot mill one up for the build, I certainly wouldn't expect them to know how to grind the valves nor trust them to do so. If they are a serious...

Re: startup old engine
Along with what others have said,
Oil

Re: GM 1 WIRE alternator
Generic calculators like that one are very inaccurate. What, exactly, is included in a "normal" vehicle or a "custom" vehicle, and what are the amp ratings for those components? The generic...

Re: GM 1 WIRE alternator
Factories notoriously undersized their charging systems to save money. The savings from less feet of copper in the generator/alternator and in wire gauge adds up quickly. So long as the battery,...

Re: GM 1 WIRE alternator

Re: oil price.
Private citizens pretty much cannot buy actual stock in crude oil. The best one can do is trade in oil futures, but you'll need to hold a minimum of $10,000 liquidity in your account to do that with...
