    [Bowling Green Performance Press] J.D. Power Score Improves Drastically

    From my mobility supplier experience ... GM, Ford, DC etc become indignant when failure/bad/non-conforming part rate reaches 25 PPM (twenty five parts per MILLION) ... they expect much less.

    Chrome Parts From Summit

    US-made chrome motor dress-up pieces are about as rare as a US-made man's shirt. Heck ... even Levi Strauss announced they were going entirely offshore for jeans sewing.

    Do Roller Tip Rocker Arms Need Constant Adjusting?

    If your rockers are properly aligned to valve tips then the plate alignment is ok. Check that first ... then worry about it only if you see a problem. This should be checked upon valve train assembly. There's probably a book on this ... but I don't know where or what it is. If you'll read...

    Do Roller Tip Rocker Arms Need Constant Adjusting?

    You didn't say if the guideplate was tight when you first checked it??? You didn't say if the guideplate had also shifted again along w/ rockers after you realigned plate???

    Do Roller Tip Rocker Arms Need Constant Adjusting?

    Misalignment at #3 exhaust looks BAD! The others' problems are probably similar ...Here's a suggestion for #3 I&E ... the pushrod guide plate needs to be moved forward ... if you have not already doped the bottoms of rocker studs with teflon seal or other sealant ... remove, clean all threads...

    GM Waterpump Fit ???????

    :upthumbs ... Bridgeport instead of a Dremel ... that's taking a BFH to it! I'd also thought that a buttonhead/panhead allen capscrew might give a bit of clearance. Glad you got 'er done! JACK:gap
