Fuel Keep, Ice for heads and any other tips ?

[Ed Wright]

I have used C11 for three years now, never a problem wiht fuel check. I try to keep the jug out of the sun (may not matter) and the lid on tight. I've had it in the trailer for a couple of weeks between races and still goes right through fuel check.

I've run 45 psi in my front tires several times with no problems. If I need to back my lights down I let air out, usually the tire that will be on the inside of the turn off the track at the end.
I've used 25 psi a lot, not sure how low other guys go.

You oughta go across the scales every day when you are warming the car up before the first run. Get to the track early so you have time to get everything done.

This was going to be my next question. Who has checking lifters for a Mitsubishi motor? lol Also, I cant carry a cylinder head bench around with me to pull the springs off of a little dohc style head like that... The push on t handle keeper deals would work with stock springs, but not the springs that I am running. We tried last week to install with the t handle tool and it was a no go. Im sure I can make something to work with a conventional spring compressor, but just asking.

Jimi, Give Tim Smith a Calll at LSM they now make a very adjustable spring removal
tool that is very nice, Not sure if it will work on your application but call Tim and he might
be able to help you out...

Keep your fuel in a dark color jug, like the dark blue ones. Get the ones that have an O ring in the cap, and store them always in the trailer, out of direct sun.

Chris, I heard through the grapevine that Mr. Jeff supplied the checking lifters to NHRA. ??? You can get a handy spring compressor from Miller Tool thats made for our Hemi's.

Besides fuel keep, ice and any other tips? Ditch the girls and get a crew chief.

I know a lot of racers that would swap you their crew chief for the girls.
