For such a small part, proper installation of the valve guide is essential. In today's episode of Tech Lab Tuesday, we look at different methods for installing valve guides — everything from manual to pneumatic valve guide drivers to the Goodson Adjustable Powered Valve Guide Driver with Replaceable Pilots.
In our last episode of Tech Lab Tuesday, Dave Monyhan (retired) gave an overview of portable cylinder hone mandrels and stones. In this episode, he continues the discussion by demonstrating how to set up the Sunnen Master Holder and Stone Supports. With these tools, you can expand your hone to work on cylinders up to 15" in diameter.
Some of our most common questions on the Goodson tech desk relate to cylinder honing. In this episode of Tech Lab Tuesday, Dave Monyhan (retired), gives an overview of portable honing mandrels and stones. He also gives tips for troubleshooting honing problems.
We're going back to the beginning with this week's Tech Lab Tuesday. In this pilot episode for David' Vizard's Power Tec 10 YouTube series, David and guests talk about tunnel rams performance engine building.
After a yearlong hard-fought battle, we earned the privilege of being the West Region representative to the Jegs Allstars race within a race at the U.S. Nationals.
We enjoyed introduction festivities consisting of food, film, decals, Jegs t-shirts, caps and a very cool fabricated trophy with Casey’s name on it.
The first two runs were qualifying for the U.S. Nationals field and for position on the ladder for the Jegs Allstar race.
We struggled with the high humidity and high-water grains, along with the temperature. We could only muster a best of 5.60 which put us on the Jegs ladder at #7.
The first round of Jegs was also the last chance to qualify for the U.S. Nationals.
We finally made some progress and clocked a 5.38 at 267. That got us the round win in the Jegs race and qualified us #12 for the Nationals. However, by the end of that session we were bumped to #18 and not in the show.
Second round of Jegs we picked up to a 5.35 at 270. No match for eventual winner Julie Nataas and her 5.18. The 5.35 would have qualified us for the Nationals had we run it one run earlier.
After struggling at Woodburn and Seattle we were happy to have our car headed in the right direction.
Our next outing will be a West Region event at Famoso Raceway, October 13th – 16th.
We can’t thank you all enough for helping us make this happen.
Thank you,
Jerry Darien & Casey Grisel
