    Not new to boating, but new to having a jet boat. Always wanted one since I was a kid, and since I fool around with muscle cars and such, it was a natural fit. Boat is a 1978 19ft Bahner running a 460 Ford with over transom headers. I have plenty to learn about it still, but have had it on...

    All the engines I have built have been with solids. I'm doing a 348 thats going to be a cruiser, but I would still like to check valve timing, push rod length and valve to piston clearance. Any way to do this? It's a flat tappet cam. Thanks Tim

    Hi, I have a good (fresh) 454 that has been sitting for many years.... wow, like just shy of 30. Time flies when you're having fun. It was in a hooligan street truck, PO had to go to prison for a bit and I bought it hearing it run and it was strong. Never used it so I just started to...

    When checking camshaft runout, is it acurate enough to use a set of home made wood V-blocks? A while back, i made a set of v-blocks for checking crankshaft run out and it works prety good and i have bouble checked it with checking the crank in a block, sitting on the two end bearings and get...

    My boat has a T400 with a flex plate instead of torque converter. Since I've owned the boat I never thought much of just pulling out the dipstick at the time as I change the engine oil. I know you normally check ATF with the motor running and the tranny warm and it's in park. Park is locked out...

    Just got the kinks worked out of my engine... Damn MSD and 660 Holleys. :D Anaway, even though it is late in the year, it might get wet for the first time tomorrow with those high 70's coming. Sorry if the video isn't up to par, it is my first time running everything by myself... Jason...
