Originally posted by Geo Jody, what style are we talking about? Are we talking about the kind I saw at JWT or something like Mike described? I've already talked with my machinist as well about making one like they use at JWT.
I don't know what your eyes saw at JWT
I was referring to the one described by Mike..."dial indicator with the rod welded to a hollowed out old HLA". I'm sure the hole in the HLA would need to be 'true' and the bar welded in perfectly verticle...correct?
I'll take the head to the machine shop when the rocker arm guides come in.
Hey guys. I wrote the part # off of one at work. The part# you have is wrong. The right part # is J38957-N. Funny, for some reason we have 2 of these kits. I might have to acquire one of these.
Originally posted by morepower2 yeah I asctualy feel that there is a limited comercial need for this product, george? nudge, nudge!
It's on the docket Mike. I agree, there is a need for this and I'm quite certain I can get them produced for far less than what is currently available. I've talked with my machinist already and it should be plenty easy to do. My biggest problem at the moment is while I have plenty of spare blocks, I don't have any spare heads around. I traded one a long time ago, and my other is still at JWT. I'll see if I can find someone around here to let me borrow one. I'm sure in an afternoon I could get one drawn up and with another afternoon of checking the prototype we'd be all set.
I'll start looking for a head to borrow.

I hope you were asking me.
Bingo!
That's the one.
Jody, now that you have the correct part number, will you post the price when you call Kent-Moore?
If it's outrageous, I'll pursue making one. Otherwise, I'll probably just buy one.
BTW, BGH where does it bolt to? I was figuring the cam journal caps' bolt holes.

Like I said Geo, I have two, take your pick. You can have one...just comp me a tool when you make them.
The price for new rocker arm guides, the machinists cost for measuring shim heighth, and new shims will still be cheaper than buying the tool.

I think I already have one lined up, but I might take you up on it. I have absolutely no doubt we can do something better than that. I'll start looking at raw materials. It may take a bit of time because I have two projects that I'm racing (no pun intended) to have done by my race in January. Then again, perhaps I should just take a road trip to Austin and pick one up. It won't be hard to produce, but I have to get some measurements and angles just right.

Both heads are assembled. I know it won't matter...just a bonus.
Kent-Moore is sending me a catalog of their 'nissan tools'.

What I will have built will not require an HVLA (in fact, I have extras floating around). I will have the plate style built. Much more user friendly and far more repeatable.
