Which, coincidentally, just so happened to agree with the party line that you and the herd habitually adhere to?

Last post by Kern Dog - March 11, 2025, 11:00:20 PMReally?
Come on, man....I thought that there might be something we agree on.
What about it bothers you?
If you mean the adjustment we all go through to deal with it right after the time change, I do get that. It doesn't bother me the least THIS time of year. I absolutely HATE it in the fall when we go from a sunset around 5:45 to 4:45. Holy crap that makes 8:00 PM feel like it is midnight already. I hate winters anyway so the early sunsets just exacerbate the misery.
This time of year though? I LOVE it! I don't wake up with the sun anymore like I did when I was still working. I'm active in the day and early evening. Having a sunset an hour later than it was on Friday is like finding $20 bucks in my pocket.

Last post by Kern Dog - March 11, 2025, 10:55:47 PMThe man that ordered the camshaft for me is a well respected camshaft guy and cylinder head porting dude.
I ordered Isky valve springs part # 8005A. These were suggested by Dwayne. I chose to play it safe and ordered new spring retainers, locks and seals too. I forgot to order spring shims though even though I had the part number written down. Here is what I have spent so far:
* Camshaft, ordered through Dwayne Porter with custom specs as recommended. $505.
* Isky valve springs # 8005A. $232
* Valve spring retainers Comp Cams # 741-16. $ 84
* Retainer locks Comp Cams # 611-16 $ 39
* Valve stem seals Comp Cams # 529-16 $ 45
* Rollmaster timing set with Torrington bearing $ 151
* Intermediate shaft Hughes Engines $280
* Valley pan/Intake gaskets, Timing cover gaskets $52
I'm at $1388 and I still need lifters, pushrods, a cam button and valve spring shims. I thought that I could do this for under $2000 but I didn't expect to buy another timing set or the spring retainers-locks-seals. That all adds up to about $300 right there. I figured that the higher spring pressures should have new parts holding them in place. These heads are 22 years old with original retainers and locks. I have some low mile timing sets here but none of them have the Torrington bearing for a roller cam. Dwayne felt that it was a necessity at least as a precaution given the risk.

Last post by Kern Dog - March 11, 2025, 04:18:19 PMI know what that is. It has been repeated by you numerous times as if you think others are not getting it.
I'm not oblivious to your efforts.
My point was that too many followed orders without thinking. Maybe that was out of fear or lack of independent thought. Knowing what limited things that I know of you, that is something that you seem to respect...one with thoughts that they developed on their own with out following what you repeatedly call the herd.
I didn't care what the officials or the media had to say, I applied my own basic common sense. There was no underground movement to subvert the government at least I didn't know of any. Plenty of unrelated people had the same opinion as I did or to be humble, I had the same opinion as many others despite no organized type of "revolution" against the man.
