Also, using that logic you would not be able to put a matched set of cam and lifters into a different engine. There are undoubtedly machining...

Usually both the lifter and the lobe are ruined when a lobe wipes out. The lifter quits spinning and the lobe just wears through the bottom of...
With a 1.6 rocker ratio, your lobe lift ~ .346". You should measure something close to that using the method in my other post (it's not a perfect...
One trick to measure is to get the lifter on the base circle and scribe a line on the pushrod that references a fixed part of the cylinder head...
Assuming that the pushrod is straight (I am sure if it was bent that badly you would have noticed), I would pull the rocker off and check that the...
If that is the cae, they deserve what they get.
I say let the free market determine what's ridiculous and what's not.
Did the $380 estimate include everything listed in your first post? IMO estimates are worthless unless they are in writing.
Sounds a bit expensive to me. However, I don't believe you can arbitrarily withhold payment since it sounds like he did the work listed on the...
Idle mixture screws set correctly?
4-5" works nicely IMHO.
Deja vu.
She's a peach!!
Well that ought to have people waiting in line to buy these things. At least the focus wasn't on something as inane as fuel economy.
