    Ride Height Adjustment

    You have to be carefull adjusting ride hieght with the spring preload adjusters because you can quickly take a shock out of its operational range. We used to run into this all the time on drag cars. People thought you could just adjust the spring up and down to raise and lower the car, and we...

    Lost fuel pressure!

    If those pumps are spinning they should be pumping fuel. I have burned up motors, but have never lost the pump itself. You said you can see air/fumes coming out with the hose disconnected and the pump running? I had a very similar situation happen and it turned out that there was a hole in...

    Im not sure I see where that is going to be of any benefit. The lifter is suppose to spin in the bore anyway, the cam lobe is ground with a slight taper to it so that the lifter spins each time it opens. Even if the bottom of the lifter spins, you still have all the same pressures as a normal...
