Always grease the threaded rod in your spring compressor. Why? Because you're using so much torque on the rods that you won't know that they're binding up until they break. So you can't let it bind up. I don't use mine very often, so before I use it, I spray all the old grease off with brake cleaner, let it dry, then grease it up.

@@ReadTheShrill I’ve taken a similar approach but with anti seize and agree it’s a good practice. One more thing, and I apologize if this comes off as nitpicking, my background is mechanical engineering 🤓. Technically the rod shouldn’t be seeing much torque at all. Just like with any bolt being torqued down (that’s not bottomed out) you are putting the bolt/rod under tension. In this case the force of the spring is driving that. The more you tighten it down the more force it generates as the spring is forced down. The lubricant acts to reduce thread friction and the effect of friction can massively increase the stress on the rod. This is why companies like ARP specify lubricant on the threads of their bolts and even go so far as to specially machine their washers and include lubricant between the bolt head/washer. Either way you are correct the grease, anti seize, oil, etc. is smart to avoid additional thread binding or damage. Just remember if this were a bolt being torqued the grease would throw off your torque value likely leading to an over torqued situation.

Why not keep both? I still have my S197 but have debated about what to do with it since getting the S650. Hand it down, drag it, track it, drift it or sell it? However, I do know that I won’t be selling it to take a step backwards like you did with your S550. But I can’t argue with your decision either. The 3V is kick ass in many of the ways you mentioned and I’m pretty sure that’s why I still have it.

@truckandroll989Ай бұрын
@@airell47 Modern cars use multiple (sometimes up to 4) oxygen sensors (either one or two per side before and sometimes after the catalytic converters). On an engine dyno ive seen oxygen sensors installed in each primary tube to understand variances cylinder to cylinder. However in this application one is likely sufficient but it does mean there could be a variation between each side of the motor. Since a carburetor really doesnt allow much tuning for side to side variation I recommend picking the easiest install location (on one side) and using that. You could always weld in a second bung on the other side, plug the original bung, and check for differences. If you had a y pipe that was pretty close to the manifold collectors that could be another good location but then you are only seeing an average. So the short/long answer is more would be ideal but thats added cost and likely not worth it unless you are racing or getting really serious about tuning.

Hey I got a good tip if your cam is to big that just requires some time, at least on a sbc. The stock stamped steel sbc rocker arms are never actually 1.5! If you check them They can be anywhere from 1.43 to 1.47 But never 1.5. So if you buy two sets of stock rockers and test all 32 of them your bound to find 16 that are close enough you can even play games with it and put bigger lift ones on the intake and smaller lift ones on the exhaust to improve low rpm performance. Another benefit is because the rocker ratio is decreased it puts less pressure on your valve train.
