    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Would you mind if I posted that article here?

Thanks First Timer and Humhead, that was a very interesting article by John Ulrich...I printed it out and saved it in my "secret folder"......The cam specs they were using are very close to the Web-Cam grind #110......I was intrigued by the use of a "full floating" rear caliper and never thought about the effects of the rear brakes on the suspension. Makes sense to me. Just reading that article brought back a lot of memories that I had long forgotten about. In 1981 or 82, I bought 2 cans of Kal-Gard "Gunkote" and painted my valve cover, cylinder head and block. I baked them in the oven as directed on the can....I think the smell (after 20 plus years) is still in my nose. My girlfriend (now my wife) was not happy at all....Heres a pic of the "gunkoted" motor....1175cc fed through 33 smoothbores

in the report, i found yoshimura fully polished up the surface of the crank and the rods.
Dose it really help in performance or just look good?
