    Trying to degree my cams in after I installed the RGR Lockouts....





    I was using this tool, but it didnt come with the correct adapter, so I drew something up and had my buddy machine it.









    I also had to "machine" and Fab up this one off custom piston stop...




    I was able to get the intake cams done, but the exhaust cams needed a different dial indicator stand, so hopefully i can get that done later today.

    impressive jigs and machine work Craig. I like the plunger indicator mount and adapter. Cam lockouts huh? Looks like things just got real serious. Good luck. 575WHP is more than enough for this old man behind the wheel these days......but I'd pay for some gas to go for a ride when that is done.

    Love the stop as well. I made a spark plug gapping tool years ago for the 3 valve plugs. May even still work for the newer ones as well if they still use 16mm fine thread.

    YOU???!!! HAPPY RUNNING TENS??? BLAH HA HA!!! Nah....that's my line. you owned a speed shop and grew up with a dad that loved cars and speed as well, IIRC. For a guy like you there is no such thing as "happy" running at any speed or ET...once you get there. I went to Kings Island last year for the first time in 15 years...or any amusement park. Got on Banshi and about soiled myself on the first hill. I used to ride coasters all the time. The bigger the better. I've ridden a coaster in Japan. I've been to Cedar Point and ridden every coaster there including Millennium Force...hands up the whole way. Just don't have the nerve I had years ago. Best of luck. Miss seeing you up this way.

    I too get "weezy" on rides now. The wife and I were on the Viking Ship ride (swings back and forth) and I was shocked how I was feeling on it.
