The 1964 427 Hi Riser engine has 2.197 intake valves and 1.725 exhaust valves. Does the NHRA (Dave Wren Hemi) rule still say Plus .005 and minus .015 tolerance allowed ?

Yes, it is still +.005/-.015. The valves were 1.728 when they went in the heads. The one in question had been pretty deep in the seat and pushed an edge up to the margin.

One of the exhaust valves had a little bit of material pushed up to the edge from pounding on the seat. It was really close to the max. It was clearly evident what had happened. The other three in the head were under the spec. Nothing was bogus. A few swipes with some sandpaper is all it needed. Just thought I'd clear up any rumours. Certainly wasn't a flagrant issue.

Well, I think this is a first for Indy!! Nobody was tossed out in teardown! So the only alternates that will get in are for the cars who are broken (like us). And the first alternate #129 has left the grounds. Fletcher got beat in super gas this morning and left. I have a few more pics from today.

Paul and Debbie Boster and their new D/SA Corvette

Gary Richard and Skillman in teardown.

Do you recognize any of these guys watching Super Stock this morning?
