Well, this wasn’t today or even yesterday it was more like last week and over a couple of days:

Nice! Thanks Bill, I’m glad to hear you like it. Layton was very helpful and I’m feeling pretty comfortable with how it worked out. No shortage...

I called Layton at BPNW this morning and we had a conversation regarding the BPNW270N cam and it’s timing. Basically, when the Home intake lobes is at...

Ok…I’ll have to try that later. I have to take my daughter to her tennis lesson…thx!

[Charlie(74)]

Well, it can’t be without some setbacks…

The rear main seal housing I have is probably like many others and impossible to thread a bolt...

[Charlie(74)]

Thanks Ken, I certainly hope so!

Previously I had a WIX 51516 and plan on using them in future. I had never had an issue with fitment when...

[Charlie(74)]
