Goodson Tech Bulletin Board

I have a 1997 GM 2.2L inline four from an S10. I am currently rebuilding it. I’m thinking about turbocharging the engine.
I have found information about a V8 roller rocker conversion. What sort of modifications to the cylinder head and valvetrain are required to install V8 roller rockers? What is the maximum open valve spring pressure can be applied to the stock cam?
What sort of turbocharger would be suitable and how much boost can the stock engine stand up to?

wondering if your cf-700-rk will work in the old Atlas CF-700 pneumatic valve spring compressor.

Hello,

I am looking for a spring tester to check a variaty of springs. Which one would you suggest? I will be testing springs from 80lbs to 400lbs on the seat.

Thank you

We get a lot of calls from guys who’ve gotten a “great deal” on ebay on a seat and guide machine, valve refacer, you name it. Their only problem is they need a replacement part for the machine to make it useable.

Well, ya know what? A lot of the machines you’ll see out on ebay are there for a reason. In a lot of cases it’s because the manufacturer has gone out of business and replacement parts are no longer available.

Don’t get us wrong. There are some great deals out there but you need to be sure you have ALL of the information before you agree to buy the machine you’re looking at. If you’re considering buying a used machine from ebay or any other online source, be sure to ask questions and don’t hesitate to give the Goodson Techxperts™ a call (800-533-8010) to find out if replacement parts are available.

Hope to see some of you at the PRI Show in Orlando, FL this week!

I have a spray wash cabinet that dosen’t have a clean water rinse cycle. I am using a product called tru spray. I don’t know if its the soap or too much or too little but i am geting white stains on the clean surfaces. And if I leave a part that has been washed out for 4 or 5 days lots of white stains appear. I thought it might be because I don’t have a clean water rinse system. But some others say no. This is driving me crazy seeing the ugly white stains on freshly machined parts.Do you think it might be the kind of soap?

When grinding a 13 to 15" flywheel I get about .002 tir when check at edge of flywheel when still mounted on table of machine. Is this okor should it be better? Thanks steve
