Do I have to grease the cam to put it in my motor? I know people do grease them but is it that important?
I know you don't want to gouge the lobes or the bearing but I would think if done carefully you would not have a problem without greasing.
I am building a 306 with DSS flat tops, 0 deck with TW heads and I was wondering what are some GOOD head gaskets to get. I was going to go with Felpro 1011-2(Trick Flow recomendation) but I wanted to see if there were any better.
I will not be using Cometic due to what has happened in...
Ok I just bought a motor that has 0 deck with DSS flat top pistons and I was wondering how you would go about checking the clearance between the piston and the valve.

I have been looking at this one. Any suggestions...
I was just curious if anybody is running a cam in their Aode car without a stall? If so which one and did you have any idle issues, because I have been told that any cam matched with our automatic will not idle and work well without a aftermarket stall.
I was told this by Ed Curtis, and...
