    The 55 is looking fantastic! Sorry you're having GoPro problems. Seems like a lot of YT have issues with those.

    Where did you get the fan shroud from? I appreciate the help. Keep up the great work and the education, I have learned allot, thanks.

      I'm unsure where Steve bought the shroud from.

  • @chrisrichards1339
    @chrisrichards1339 Před 3 měsíci

    How effective is that fan shroud gonna be with that big gap between it and the core support? I always found the most effective shroud/ mechanical fan combos were when the shroud fit snugly around the core support. So you actually "create" draw.

    • @haffrods7055
      @haffrods7055  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yeah, thats another issue I have to address. Brand new fan shroud that doesn't fit correctly.

    Yepper it's a wrap for sure. I'm just asking a question have you ever thought about a million machine or a metal lathe. I'm thinking you would binafit. Just you have a nice set of and you notice you have a broken rocker stud bam you fix it. As for the lathe you can do a lot of things it. Here you go let's say your building a high performance engine and you have a lot of things with the lathe 1st thing is you want to get all bonuing jobs out of the way.

      I have no spot in a two car garage for a lathe

    I understand why you usually use long water pumps but with Steve's short pump why use the long spacer and radiator in the 6 cylinder position? I don't remember using special starter bolts until the starters changed to the new style without the cone sticking into the bellhousing but that was a long time ago so I may be wrong.

    • @haffrods7055
      @haffrods7055  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Steve wants the radiator out front. He doesn't like seeing the inside of the core support with the radiator behind.
