This thread started out as helpful advise but was not taken...the bad part here is that the man kept coming back with outlLandish problems asking for advise only to tell people implied or not he knew what he was doing beacuse he was a mechanic ( so whats the point :?: )
As a mod i have seen nothing SOOO bad that the thread needs to be locked or deleted..and i can do both...
If you come upon a thread that you disagree with...just don't participate at 1st..then if you find it that offensive then report it to me or another mod..just don't expect drastic measures if something is in good faith,gray,borderline...We are a place to help but to also have fun..keep this in mind please.
i can assure you EVERYONE will be treated fairly in every post...orginator or responder...
Just be advised of one main thing..." Dont ask if you are afraid to be told the truth"........there is room here for all.
Now lets all be gentleman and let this lay where it needs to be.

Tell me about it.....and then two hours later I get to fix it...AFTER they "fixed " it..lol
reminds me of a sign my uncle used to have in his garage.
LABOR $20 per hr if I do the work
$40 per hr if you help
$60 per hr if you tried to do it yourself before you came here.

that's exactly what happened,it was like solid lifters.when mine froze it wore the cam and bent a valve.and the rockers were wore from no oil (i ran 30 laps)and kept moving side to side and the nuts would back off.a lunati cam and lifters,locking rollor rockers,and a valve done the trick.the dead plugs(oringinal prob.) dist. was bad.thanks for advice
