As you were. :computer:

DG,

When you make FErdward progress, this sharp-eyed bunch will be able to discern it.

So Dave, just a few tech questions....

What installed heights did they set the valve springs at

What were the seat & open pressures of the springs

How much advance did they grind into the cam and where is Mark degreeing it in at (home or office)

What lash are you going with.. Intake & Exhaust

& will you be using bluepoint feeler gauges to set them

What valve face & seat angles did they decide on.. Intake & exhaust

What brand valve & seat grinding machine did they use & with what stone

Is the valve grinding machine for rt or left handed people, is it an air chuck or electric What type of diamond tip do they use to dress the stone

How many times to they dress the stone (if needed) per grinding set of valves

What type of valve guide clearence did they go with & how & what did they use to achieve the clearences..are they installing seals..if so what type, brand and color

What type of honing oil, stones and Tq plate did they use on the block, Who Tq the plate and type of Tq wrench, What Tq pattern did they use on the bolts

How do they load & unload the block into the machine

Type of dolly or cart used to move block from one station to another

Was the block then bolted to a 3 or 4 wheel engine stand, what brand & color engine stand. Did they have the proper length bolts or were washers used, If so ...how many on each bolt

When you visit the shop, what route do you take, where do you park, do you pull straight in or.. what door do you use to enter the building (office or shop door) are you greeted nicely..

Is there snacks and if so...WHAT KIND!! Are you offered a cool beverage to go along with them

I understand Mark loves fishing, Does he share any good stories with you.

How did Mark's engines do last weekend at the Div 6 race in Woodburn Oregon

DAVE, IF I IN ANYWAY HELPED DERAIL THIS THREAD..... I APOLOGIZE! AND I PERSONALLY WANT TO HELP GET IT BACK ON TRACK !!!

I'll have some more TECH questions for you later, I got to eat breakfast. NO WORRIES....I'M HERE FOR YA BROTHER !!!!!!!!

That's the Tech http://www.domrep.ch/images/smilies/bomb_ie.gif of the Year from the Dawg of dawgs ! ! !

What were the seat & open pressures of the springs I weight about 145 lbs dripping wet so I guess that is the seat pressures

How much advance did they grind into the cam and where is Mark degreeing it in at (home or office)they said it was a 3/4 cam so 3/4*?

What lash are you going with.. Intake & Exhaust uh, mmm, .....hot

& will you be using bluepoint feeler gauges to set them I only work on the car via the keyboard

What valve face & seat angles did they decide on.. Intake & exhaust I called and asked this and the guy said you are on crack if you think I'm gonna tell you that so you can post it on the web and hung up on me

What brand valve & seat grinding machine did they use & with what stonesee above

Is the valve grinding machine for rt or left handed people, is it an air chuck or electric What type of diamond tip do they use to dress the stone

How many times to they dress the stone (if needed) per grinding set of valves

What type of valve guide clearence did they go with & how & what did they use to achieve the clearences..are they installing seals..if so what type, brand and colorevery time I called back with another one of these questions he got madder. I don't think I can safely go to NC anytime in the future

What type of honing oil, stones and Tq plate did they use on the block, Who Tq the plate and type of Tq wrench, What Tq pattern did they use on the boltsMike is grumpier than the guy in NC so no way I'm asking him this

How do they load & unload the block into the machineMike was complaining his back hurt so I guess they lifted it

Type of dolly or cart used to move block from one station to anotherthis one I've got.... This is a trick question. It hasn't moved in a year.

Was the block then bolted to a 3 or 4 wheel engine stand, what brand & color engine stand. Did they have the proper length bolts or were washers used, If so ...how many on each bolteverything on this motor is rigged so I am sure there were washers, lots of washers. The stand was black I remember that.

When you visit the shop, what route do you take, where do you park, do you pull straight in or.. what door do you use to enter the building (office or shop door) are you greeted nicely.. if it light out Mike makes me next door so it looks like I'm just going to McDonalds. If it is in the evening I'm allowed to park in the back of the shop behind the race trailer in a dark spot

Is there snacks and if so...WHAT KIND!! Are you offered a cool beverage to go along with themMike said nobody ever eats in a shop. Was he lying to me?

DAVE, IF I IN ANYWAY HELPED DERAIL THIS THREAD..... I APOLOGIZE! AND I PERSONALLY WANT TO HELP GET IT BACK ON TRACK !!!

JerDog. I'll save some time and take a stab at what Dave will answer.

What installed heights did they set the valve springs at
:secret:

What were the seat & open pressures of the springs
My seats are Corbeau FX1 and the springs are Hypercoils 700#/500#

How much advance did they grind into the cam and where is Mark degreeing it in at (home or office)
Since I don't know who Mark is (does he build LS engines?) and I believe the grind is decaf

What lash are you going with.. Intake & Exhaust
Is this like those eye lash extensions on the women of the night in my old neighborhood? Need more clarification

& will you be using bluepoint feeler gauges to set them
Is there another kind? (said Jack Nicholson)

What valve face & seat angles did they decide on.. Intake & exhaust
The angle of the open face roast beef sandwich is congruent with the max amount of Texas BBQ sauce (not from the Salt Lick) slather on it.

What brand valve & seat grinding machine did they use & with what stone
MIKE says "next question"

Is the valve grinding machine for rt or left handed people, is it an air chuck or electric What type of diamond tip do they use to dress the stone
Again, next question.

How many times to they dress the stone (if needed) per grinding set of valves
220... 221.... whatever it takes.

What type of valve guide clearence did they go with & how & what did they use to achieve the clearences..are they installing seals..if so what type, brand and color
Clarence, is that you?

What type of honing oil, stones and Tq plate did they use on the block, Who Tq the plate and type of Tq wrench, What Tq pattern did they use on the bolts
Standard 30 weight oil (preferably Quaker State) and some ball bearings.

How do they load & unload the block into the machine
With a Ford

Type of dolly or cart used to move block from one station to another
Proprietary

Was the block then bolted to a 3 or 4 wheel engine stand, what brand & color engine stand. Did they have the proper length bolts or were washers used, If so ...how many on each bolt
2.5 to 8 weeks

When you visit the shop, what route do you take, where do you park, do you pull straight in or.. what door do you use to enter the building (office or shop door) are you greeted nicely..
I grow straight to the shop... as the crow flies... because I can.... and I will

Is there snacks and if so...WHAT KIND!! Are you offered a cool beverage to go along with them
There's no time for food and snacks at this shop

I understand Mark loves fishing, Does he share any good stories with you.
Again, this Mark guy... I sure hope he isn't the one working on my engine.... does he build LS engines at QMP? Hopefully he didn't work on Ron's motor :wacko:

How did Mark's engines do last weekend at the Div 6 race in Woodburn Oregon
California is the only state that matters

DAVE, IF I IN ANYWAY HELPED DERAIL THIS THREAD..... I APOLOGIZE! AND I PERSONALLY WANT TO HELP GET IT BACK ON TRACK !!!
Ed Bailey.... I thought we were friends.

I'll have some more TECH questions for you later, I got to eat breakfast. NO WORRIES....I'M HERE FOR YA BROTHER !!!!!!!!

Breakfast is for :censored:

They will discern it, and they will not be happy that he is derailing their thread.

:lol:

Thanks Coz, now I can read the dang thing with out my face pressed up against my broken screen :hello:

What angle were the heads milled at

Any porting and polishing

Was it bored and stroked by MIKE personally

Balanced and blue printed

Did they debur and destress the block

Did MIKE use a good seasoned block

Where the lifters lightend

Block Lifter trued

Decked with a centering deck plate

Oil holes chamFORD, reamed and screened

That's all the questions i got
