Default Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...

Well, folks... had some problems yesterday... floated valves just before the 1/8...shifted at 5700, and track wasnt hooking...i believe i was loosing atleast .04-.05 in 60ft...car was real soft on launch...i felt the spin, but it was a gradual dig, all the way through low gear... So , i may have tagged a valve, not major damage. Will leak it tomorrow, and go from there. Will have new cam ground and go to limited travel lifters, if i find out that this is the problem. Im hoping i sucked dirt into the carb, after i did all the new fuel system work...
