Suppose backing vocals don't match minor power chords from the Warlock?

spent the whole day fabricating today. 

 

made a jib outa 10mm hardened plate today(think it was called "hardock")?. took a couple hours to cut n shape it in a 100T press followed by an hour stitching it all up. Had to trim it up with the oxy once completed as it was slightly oversize. was good fun pretending to be a boily for a change. tomorrow morning might have to do final touches

You made a jig. A jib is the front sail off a yactch? I like pretending to be a service technician as well! You know what they say, a change is never as good as a holiday!

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
