I don't know how you guys do this and work a full time job and I for one thank you for doing this as I enjoy racing and I know you pay out of your own pocket.

Good Luck to all in 2009

to quote ricky booby "i wanna go fast"

haha you do what it takes....blt checks are a necessity but I thought evan just said engine. We did a tear down and had our head sent out to be cleaned every 6 races. If you get rid of the carbon you really feel the horsepower gain. Oil every other week is a necessity and we always like to check the rockers when we take the head off just to make sure there isn't excessive wear.

thayne to avoid pulling the head try a motorvac caron cleaning. i have did that on a 4.3 before teardown and was blown away by how much carbon was gone. then i bought the machine.

Longstreet what do they cost new? I see them listed around 1300.00+ US.

Places will do this for your car at a garage for about 175.00+

The guy in the video says this every year. I don't think I would save that much in gas.
