Those look like Gil risers - do you have the turbulators installed under them? In case you don't know what those are, the turbulators were often installed on the stock Gil exhaust / riser setups. ...

If I had valvetrain noise (or possibly something else) and I was not sure what is causing it, I would have serious reservations about running it at all, much less blasting WFO across the lake. Glad...

It depends on how much more lift you are talking about. Stay under .550 or so, and you are probably OK with the studs you are installing. The grey area starts when you start increasing lift, and...

I think there have been threads out there about some noise from the Morel lifters for threads. I know a friend of mine had a couple that would not shut up for him, and he actually sent them in to...

He needs the conversion stud that has 3/8 threads going into the head and 7/16" fine thread stud for the rockers. The point I was making is if he installs a high lift cam in the future with beefy...

Also, just for grins, you might consider spraying some carb cleaner down the pushrod holes and let it soak into the lifters. If by some chance you have some crap or varnish that is making one of the...

One of the things I would have like to see changed on those hulls is the flat spots up towards the bow at the top of the v. When you hit a quartering wake just right - BAM! It really hits the wave...

Bravos were behind the great majority of them. I would not hesitate to run a Bravo behind one. It's not like you are trying to feed 700 HP through it (and many on this board are doing just that). ...

I am quite intrigued that you gained 13 MPH by removing inner strakes and hooks on that hull. I had the little hooks removed on my 88 Force 235 and only gained a little more porpoising. That must...

Intake manifold has to come off to pull lifters on a BBC. If you have a cam lobe going flat or a lifter dying, there may be shavings and debris in the oil filter. If it is a simple matter of a...

As derek said, those appear to be the non-adjustable rocker arms that were common with the later model big blocks. Is this a Gen V or Gen VI engine? If it's a Gen VI, it should have the mag roller...
