Methanol will definitely wash the cylinders and cook some bearings!!! Used to run the rings in the sprinter engines tight and the bearings to manufacturers spec and ran on Mobil 1. Never had much for bearing problems...

Everytime I get my "package" figured out for the Ranchero engine I keep running across new trick goodies I like, then have to go back and make everything else match. The really scary thing is going to be the cam!!!!

boy i wish .on the h bearings that is damn close to the same way i run them and had very good luck .001 pre of inch journal on something that get hammered on hard i will allways open them up a bit more i am big on hi crush on my mains and rods

you bet i will be in the wheel chair with the 656 donovan in it

Kewl, I nominate Pat to head the CHR Shootout planning comittee. My vote would go for early summer, 2008 someplace in the middle of the country. Some place with a good drag strip. Never know, plan something a couple years in advance maybe a lot of people could work it into their vacation schedule????????

need to work harder need a trailer to haul the car if any thing sit down with you and erick and have a beer or soda pop that would be cool

Well, definitely something to think about for someday. Sure would be a blast!!!!
