    Lifter preload

    I have searched and found thru all the posts here and articles from gnnttype that lifter preload should be around .030 to .035" . The posts I read were from back in the day, wanted to make sure you guys are still using that spec today? Stock cam and lifters, thinner than stock RJC head...

    RJC head gasket install

    So I followed the directions for the RJC head gasket install and used the roller with the silicone provided. When using the roller, it seemed kinda thick. The instructions also said you will use 1/4 tube. After the heads were torqued i looked in the cylinders with a borescope and there is a...

    Anyone use the complete UMI rotojoint rear end control arm set?

    The car will see a lot more road miles than track runs. We drive it every chance we get. My daughter rides in the back and is very comfortable. Just cant do the roll bar. High 11s to me is plenty fast for a bone stock looking almost 40 year old car. I will build another car if I want to...

    Anyone use the complete UMI rotojoint rear end control arm set?

    I have a draggy, just haven't found a good area next to me to try it. I have been tuning on the freeway on ramps. There is a long on ramp near me with a little incline so it builds boost and I can record and monitor everything with powerlogger.

    Anyone use the complete UMI rotojoint rear end control arm set?

    Thanks! Cost is not the problem for some stuff but I just dont want to add unnecessary parts. I wont be drag racing every weekend. Maybe 5 times a year. High 11s are my goal just because I never want to add a roll bar. The car is mostly street driven. If I dont have to deal with creaky...

    Anyone use the complete UMI rotojoint rear end control arm set?

    Thanks for the quick reponse! Is that setup not very good for drag racing? I come from European cars so I never expect this car to turn at all so I just want a straight line cruiser. Do you have any suggestions?

    This set: https://www.umiperformance.com/gbr024-1978-1988-gm-g-body-rear-suspension-kit-pro-touring/ I mainly cruise the car but will occasionally take it to the drag strip. Drag radial. Goal is high 11s consistently. I have used regular urethane on other vehicles and they would actually...
