Well, then let me know before you buy one and I will sell you mine at a discounted rate... I have the whole kit, brand new in the box. I am ordering a roller and want to put another motor together to potentially run CJ next year.

I can't remember the exact grind, but it is the XM series from comp.

I assume you already built the rest of the motor? That metal went somewhere...

didnt find any damage or metal anywhere.... just the collapsed lifter....all the sleeves are good oil looked good..a little watery but that was from reversion...

This is going to sound condescending... And maybe it is.

So you lost a cam due to going flat..... And your going to put in another flat tappet?

I instantly heard my grandads voice "when something breaks, that is the perfect time to make it much better".

Turn in some beer bottles for a while and get a roller camshaft. Do it once, do it right.

i was going to do an xm comp cam hydraulic flat tappet....few guys have said go full roller...checked out the price and as nice as it would be to do and as much beer I would enjoy drinking to afford that I don't think full roller is an option....

Any concerns with water reversion?

They shut there doors last Monday. Apparently the state claimed imminent domain for the freeway project. I heard they were looking for another building but who knows....

Can someone help me out identifying what piston this is? What does the 30 mean?

I've dealt with Dana a few times and you ask him how it's going and he'll tell you exactly how it's going. If it's a good day then good...if it's one of his bad days then I let him do his thing and come back another day. He's always made it right if it was wrong....in my case anyway...

there was a dude here recently that put a hatch in the bow of his boat for storage.  i cant find it for the life of me using the search function... but its somewhere on here.  at first i was like "why in the heck..." but after seeing it done it came out VERY slick and I'm sure will prove to be super functional.

it's in the project section....the "80 sleek craft aristocrat" thread

I have a steep drive way and used to scrape going in and out ...if you take a 2x4 or two or however many u need and put them on each side in front of the tires right before the trailer comes in contact with your drive way it should stop it from scraping.

2010 ford f150 fx4 = 12 mpg......1995 chevy 1500 single shot bed 5.0 305,000 miles (original) = 16 mpg

Hey ddp, was ur boat the Nordic that was at Dana's for months on end? If so, that float is bad ass! I saw it over there with the motor sittin on a pallet for months on end. I waited for 2 1/2 mos for (2) bezels from dana. They came out clean but damn 2 1/2 mos. c'mon man. All future business I'm goin to Greg at GS marine.

Yeah, I ended up reconnecting the plug wire and leavin it alone. She doesn't run any different. Besides there are 7 others to pick up the slack. Thanks for the replies.
