Great job, Jeff!

How high do you rev this engine?

We use 7/16 Smith Bros. and Comp "tapered" pushrods in Dirty Bird/Goateus Maximus. 9,200 RPM, zero issues 3 years. 1/2" is massive overkill and VERY difficult to...

Unless you're using nitro, 3/8 are fine. 7/16 with nitro. Whoever said 1/2"? Never ask them again...

Nope, the "small bore" gaskets are all gone. We looked for them everywhere about 8 years ago. Dave Ribiero was needing them for his stock-classer. Cometic IS expensive. Also, THE BEST.

A small amount can be gained too, by "unshrouding" the intake valve to the gasket. We have a dedicated "Mira" cutter set to the size, but most decent shops have one. A radius of at least .125" should...

Both types have their specific applications. "Stock" engines with mild cams use iron guides. We generally use .500" lift as a "line" to require bronze guides. Bronze resists side-loading wear much...

Sealed Power "rering" kits contain all the aforementioned parts. Any Federal Mogul outlet can supply them. Use the BOP or GraphTite rear main seal.

Yes, if it's a quality unit (more than $50,), it will be fine. Worry more about the housing and the seal.

GW, the roof is "done" with the Ram Air IV opening. No place to go "up". For a milder build, I guess they'll do the job. If you want 'more', though, it will call for new heads. Most of our customers...

There are no factory heads that can approach the level of flow the E-heads are capable of, including Ram Air V. Whoever told you that either has no clue or a specific agenda.

Most recently, we've...

Is it possible it's "pits" and not grooves? Corrosion does cause this. If it isn't where the rocker contacts the valve, it's not "wear". Am I reading that correctly?

Bill,

I've used longer "carb studs" to extend the bracket down. Use a nut on both sides of the bracket.
