    Need a compression ring

    I broke a compression for my 8ba and hate to order a whole set for a single ring. It's .060 over for Offenhauser pistons. I don't know if they are a standard size or their own, measures .092" thick. Has anyone on here got one? Thanks Paul 814 505-4185

    Valve adjusting

    In all the posts I see on adjusting valves there is a lot of emphasis on turning the engine "cam" as little as possible, and that's understandable. Now why no mention about when pistons are installed, or do some take off the cam gear while pistons are installed?

    Pistons before valves

    Is there any particular reason to install the valve train before pistons? Only reason I ask is that I have valve parts on order and have the pistons ready to go in. Thanks Paul

    Cam and Head differance

    I'm going to stay with stock heads and intake for now. I'm not looking for a lot of power and rpm gains. Would rather just reliable stop light to stop light toy with a nice sounding little lope that in the future "funding" I can upgrade intake and heads. I had it bored 60, crank turned. Have...
