You can take the retainer clip off of the hydraulic lifter, fill the lifter with some small washers and reassemble.

With the $$$ you're putting into that mill, don't scrimp on the balancer. Romac. :nice:

I stand corrected then.

The original post indicated a tune has been done.

I would think a bigger cam would be a better match for the heads. Those are Vic Jr knockoffs with 2.05 valves and a lot of runner volume. Not sure of the cross section, but I'll guess it's same or close to the Vic Jr. Did you check the port alignment between the lower intake and the heads...

If you average the flow (as reported on the respective websites) from .200 to .500lift of the AFR 185 and TW, there is less than 3 cfm difference. Here's something else to consider. Flow at .500: AFR 185 267 cfm. 267 / 2.23 = 119.7 cfm psi TW 251 cfm. 251 / 2.18 = 115.1 cfm psi...

Port velocity is tied to the cross section of the port. Do you know the cross section of the TFS head? It's 2.18. How about the AFR 185 head? It's 2.23. A difference of .05. Or less than 3%. So how is it that the AFR 185 head is "too big" but the TW is ok? Just curious.

It's a weekend. You think he works 24/7?

Most all head gaskets should be installed dry. When in doubt, follow the instructions from the gasket maker. Which one are you using?

You shouldn't have any problem.....wait for the Romac to show up and test it.

Got my SCAT 408 kit and AFR 205 heads from Brian.....and would do it again. :nice: www.adperformance.com Call for pricing.

I hereby bow out of this. Ed has arrived. :spot:

Good decision. :nice: I much prefer someone with Brians experience and reputation to an "order taker" at a catalog store. When tech advice is needed, it's nice to know you can reach out to an Engine Masters top three finisher (that's Brian) for some guidance. Good luck with your project.

Post up the dyno sheets. Most dyno sheets will show the a/f ratio at the bottom of the hp/tq graph.

If Ed says it's "way to lean", I'd be getting a tune ASAP. Lean is not a good way to be driving around.....especially way lean. I'd follow Ed's advice. Until you get the tune sorted out, you won't be able to determine what might be effecting the power output. Or lack of.

You're right in the area of www.adperformance.com Check with Brian....solid guy. I've bought from him and will again. :nice:

I don't prefer crate engines, but if I had to buy one it would be from Brian at www.adperformance.com I purchased a SCAT 408 kit along with AFR 205 heads from him, so I've dealt with him on things other than crate engines. His team came in 3rd in the 2006 Engine Masters. Good pricing...

I don't know if any of these places actually have the bolts in stock, but they have them on their respective websites: http://racerwalsh.zoovy.com/category/ford_racing_parts/ http://wolfingham.com/ncmustang/mcart/index.cgi?code=3&page=6&cat=18...

That would be unbiased. And your post certainly doesn't come across as such to me. I recommended the MGW not because I work for them, but because I bought one and used it.
