It sounds nice to me but if you all can hear any other issues, please let me know.
Great Job! Time for a cruise! The only thing I see is the spark plugs should be pulled away from the headers so you don't run into a ignition problems. They sell protective socks that slip over the wires
Thanks! Yes, agree! Darn thing is I have my dash all apart working another issue!
I just ordered a pair of socks for my spark plug wires. Should get them Tuesday.
If you keep having header gasket leaks don't mess around with crappy gaskets and get some of these:
Earls, they also make collector gaskets.
Thanks, I was looking at copper gaskets suggested by @fishslayer143; however, when I was looking I saw "Percy's High Performance Seal-4-Good Header Flange Gasket" and used those. Or at least just the passenger side that was leaking. Hey, if they "seal-4-good", they have to be good right.
Well, if these fail, then I'll take a look at these too.
Hmm, actually I believe you adjust the exhaust valve when the intake closes (compression stroke), not when it begins to open (intake stroke). Reason being is when the exhaust is scavenging, it's pulling the intake charge into the cylinder. IOW, when the intake valve is starting down, the exhaust valve is still open, somewhat (on the lobe).
I agree. This is the known as 'EOIC' method (Exhaust Opening/Intake Closing). It's by far the easiest way to adjust valves in my opinion.
