• ULYCYC: Dave, you have a flat tappet or roller cam?
  September 07 2022, 11:13:28 AM
• Just a Six?: Roller cam from Full Throttle
  September 08 2022, 10:50:32 AM
• Just a Six?: 210-215 & the engine is a bit noisy so I'm thinking a stock style setup will help reduce some of it plus that chain is well over 10 years old. It's smaller because the crank is cut 10  from stock

• ULYCYC: You cant use a nylon or stock style timing set with a roller cam.  look for a rollmaster double roller set. They are quieter then most

• 1KWIKSIX: You want the Gold Series RollMaster IWIS chain & timing set Dave.

• 1KWIKSIX: The gold has nitraded steel gears
  September 08 2022, 06:14:21 PM
• 1KWIKSIX: That’s what I recently installed in my build (and that’s with a flat tappet cam too)

• Just a Six?: Thanks Ed It never even crossed my mind using the roller cam. Dave I'll check them out thanks for the info.

• 1KWIKSIX: Got mine from TA Performance , but other Buick vendors like full throttle , have them too

• Scoobum: Anyone wanna school me on why one of these engines would have bent pushrods in an unopened 109. I changed the springs on it yesterday and they were the originals on it. I'm wondering because it wouldn't rev someone held it in gear trying to force it. Open to suggestions.

• Scoobum: I've asked the owner to inspect each rocker for cracks.
  September 12 2022, 10:14:04 AM
• Scoobum: I checker the convertor and it's a D5...and someone has a 44 on it with an adjustable rod. I've told the owner to pull the pan. This could get ugly...

• nocooler: flat cam lobe and bad valve springs?
  September 12 2022, 11:14:34 AM
• Scoobum: He said it was running smoothly and quietly. No compression check was done.
  September 12 2022, 11:32:27 AM
• nocooler: If it had a taco'd pushrod I doubt it was running smoothly.
  September 12 2022, 01:53:12 PM
• ULYCYC: valve float result of bad springs as said above
  September 12 2022, 02:14:58 PM
• Steve Wood: Pretty hard to bend a pushrod without over revving or a flattened cam lobe....I guess someone may have failed to seat the rod in the center of the lifter and it got bent on start up?

• Scoobum: Speaking of hoaxers. When Dr Paul Rand and the Republicans take the House, Dr Paul Rand is gonna set up a Covid commitee...and I'll bet dollars to donuts the little gremlin took kick backs frombig pharma to push the untested vaccines that weren't approved...[link]

• nocooler: [link] - Tesla fire, took 600 gallons of water per minute for 40+ minutes to put out.
  September 17 2022, 10:30:29 AM
• ULYCYC: Best to do nothing and let it burn. Get long sticks and marshmallows
  September 17 2022, 11:15:32 AM
• Scoobum: Closed out the camping season in Temagami yesterday. Mid 30's in the mornings. Not many up there like me hacking it out in a tent.
  September 26 2022, 10:36:48 AM
• nocooler: Getting a little brisk to be out in a tent. I guess it’s all good if you don’t wake up snuggling with a bear

• Scoobum: Actually it isn't...you just ain't Canadian.
