deluxe you hit it right on the nose...the insurance companies do not generate their profits from our premims,they invest it and make a huge profit this way.thats why it benefits them to hold your money as long as possible.... jack i understand the premise of what you are saying.....but think...

kewel green i am glad that you agree with me that allstate is a substandard insurance company...you wont hear me argue with you on that one!!! and yes,i pulled them from all my vehicles,my homeowners and life coverages.

green i hate to disagree with you...i guess maybe it depends on the insurance company that you have coverage with,that probably is a huge factor...and i agree that fraud and the wacky lawsuits make it tough for all of us...but i hired a very expensive civil lawyer who makes a very good living...

rrubel i was always taught to use the formula 10psi per 1000 rpm...so if your running at 5000rpm,you should have a minimum of 50psi of oil pressure.....i have 2 race motors...one goes through the traps at 7200 rpm and i have 70psi of pressure......my other motor buzzes the traps at 8800 rpm and...

from my experience,the insurance companies will do absolutely anything possible NOT to pay your claim. so this dosent suprise me in the least. they have just developed another way out for them to pay .its even worse if you own the vehicle outright. if the bank owns the car,they dont seem to put...

i think you have to remove or slide the rear inner well [plastic panel] aside, then reach up in between through the front of the well...i think there is one down low behind the rocker...its hard to see because all the dirt packs up in there and covers the bolt...should be a 9/32

i guess i should have asked you first....i bought a wrecked car and one of those covers had been cosmetically damaged...maybe thats why i couldnt find one to replace it......i ended up selling the motor as it was and i got 9500.00 for it[motor and trans] i was initially going to fix her up but...

ignition wires for awhile were almost impossible to find,i damaged a valve cover...hard time finding that with a vc gasket.....most of the parts on that motor are dd

i have a low mileage 90 and my problem has been parts...just about everything has been discontinued and sometimes impossible to find....if i was you,i would buy that car for 18-20,000 and part it out...i bet you would almost double your money in parts!!

well.....i know its a tough decision. its alot of work pulling everything out and apart...but this is the way i reflect on it now.....i got a killer deal on a 406...i bought it brand new off a guy who was hurting for cash for 4500.00...he had it built for 9000.00...he had all the reciepts and i...

steve i am not so sure i agree with that one......the theroy is,the bigger the piece that falls into the lower end,the less you have to worry about it.....but my machine shop told me the same thing you said....and a few passes later i had a 6 inch hole in my oil pan.......its like playing the...

ive go 2 motors on opposite ends of that spectrum.......ive got a 400 which is .30=406, with a 6 inch eagle rod....and my spare is a 350 with a destroked 3.300 crank with the short aluminum rods with 4.060 bore which makes it a 342.....the 406 uses a flat top piston,60cc head with just the bowls...

oh ps...i forgot to mention...you might want to go around and check your valve spring pressure as well......if you have a hurt or weak set of springs,it will create all kinds of valvetrain geometry funk as you are cruising down the road.

moon i did that last summer,but my pushrod punched a hole in the side of the lifter...i found all the pieces but 1 small piece.....i also bent the valve very slightly,so it misfired a bit....i pulled the head,replaced the valve,lifter and rocker...and i raced her 37 more passes and she threw a...

wow ken...i use this same method with ex-boyfreinds...i put em in big plastic bags down in the basement. i also lay them on their side with pieces of cardboard in between them...but i usually replace them every 6 months,not every 6 years...hehe...just joking

since everyone was so good at helping me understand horsepower vs torque...i have another question that has always confused me.......most cars have aprox a 5/16 fuel line from the tank to the engine...and i understand that pressure will vary at the carb or injectors,depending on the type of...

whoa roadster fan....i didnt get it at first...but i had 4 or 5 beers and then i started to realize what you are saying...if i read the very last paragraph you wrote,then went back and read the story about rolling the rock around ,then it did make sense to me...which i think explains why the cam...

joe I am still confused...but then again,it dosent take much to mess me up...i launch the car at 4800 rpm and shift the car at 7200 rpm[per comp cams]......if i take an average over that rpm band...the slower motor made an average of 540 horse and 498 lbs of torque........the faster motor had an...

I am all confused on this one....my 406 was dynoed at 590 horsepower @ 6500 rpm and 528 lbs of torque @ 5000 rpm....the car ran 9.89 @135 mph all day long. I called comp cams and the guy spent about 20 minutes using all my stats and suggested a different cam that he said was a good step up in...

did you get the screw out that is behind the sliding lock lever??...that plastic lever that you push in and out,if you pull it foward a bit,i think there is one behid it...also,if you pull the panel foward and look down in between the back of the door panel and where the inner door frame...
