LOL smoking hot engines is what makes my job so fun! But in real life I have the same obstacles but alot more stuff in the way. So the racecar engines are alot more fun. Thanks for the help.

Agreed. Thats why I let them do the work and I just measure.

All inclusive is what I have in mind, ad thats a great idea. Would a test spring center the lifter in the bore or should we just take it to zero lash?

Yes they are hydraulic lifters. I thought about lifter bleed down but I don't think that would be much of a concern because if they were bleeding down much there would be valve clatter upon start up. I think I am going to build a jig to measure rocker arm ratio so that if someone bucks on my...

Thanks. I was looking for support I guess. Engine builders are gonna try to discredit my procedures if my findings are not in their favor.

Yes I understand this. I am trying to make sure that checking lift at the top of valve spring is accurate. The cam and rocker ratio will be unknown and the engine together. This is for tech at a race track. Thanks

Good Morning I need to check total valve lift on some racecar engines. I understand how to check lift with a dial indicator but there are varying opinions on this method being acurate. My fixture will screw directly into the rocker cover mounting holes, so I would not have a problem with the...

I have wished many times over that I had gone to school for ME. But at my age with 3 kids ranging from 18-4 there just is not a way. Years ago I was approached about going to work for Jeep, but being an auto tech with no college I didn't think I would fit in. Back in those days the techs in the...

John I have a question about co-op. Does the co-op time count towards credits for graduation or does it just extend the amount of time to graduate? Thanks Greg Daniels

Greg Thanks for your input. I also think 6 years is a bit much.

John Thanks, it's great to find somebody with some actual experiance with GT. We had also looked at Southern Poly but I wasn't sure it would carry the same weight as GT with prospective employeers.

My son just started school last semester on his way towards a ME degree. Georgia Tech has a program where he can go to a local university to get alot of his cores out of the way before he finishes the last 2 years at GT. I hope we made the right decisions in doing this as there has not been alot...
