Awesome job Richard and a great admirer of your program. Is another story driving all the miles you drive from home and back , the weather and also pushing your car to survive the week. You have all my respect 💪🏼🏁✅ Keep up with the videos 🏁
Thanks for the video Rich. I met you in Orlando, I was in the beat up red 67 GTO. I dropped a valve about half way to South Georgia. Learning the hard way.
Thanks Rich! Definitely going to research the lash Idea for this next engine I will be building… Also, I cannot believe I’ve never seen inside those valve covers, too freaking cool
Thanks for the lesson Rich, you tried to teach me that before but I'm a slow learner so to have it in video for is great for us newbies. Some pretty wizzy valve train components and tools which are necessary for drag and drive
Great presentation Richard. Very clearly spoken even with your nervousness I was able to understand everything you said. I learned that we have common parts even though I only have a MoPar 170CUI. Now I know what to look for in my engines. Thanks 👍🏻
Great Video Rich!! I love tech videos where people know what they're talking about and have the proven experience to backup there claims. Keep them coming!
I've been watching you and the GTO and wanting to do a dray and drive , maybe one day my car is a stick also, the only way to fly lol keep it up and a Canadian from Ottawa 😊😊
We run Schaeffers 708 Supreme 7000 15w40 zinc 2000 ppm really helps with the valve train where it is direct metal to metal contact like your pushrod tips
Thanks Richard. Really appreciate the insights and tech. I have been following your journey for a few years now, forums (like PY), your podcast, etc. Think I am going to covert my 72 GTO drag car to a drag and drive deal. Converting a 16 to 1 n/a 535 carbonated Pontiac to a drag and drive street car may take some changes, lol. But heck it already has a GF-5R and single sintered iron McLeod (old Hyatt) unit in it. I just bought a place in Florida so maybe I'll give it a run at Sik Week some time. I'm an old guy that going to need to figure out power adders and FI....hahahaha Good luck Sir, you are an inspiration..
First saw you a few years ago, down in the states where you met up with your buddy with a Fairlane, for drag week. I'm in my mid 50's, but diehard Mopar guy. I appreciate other brands, and just want to see them run. Not trailer or garage queens.
Great upload Hero !! I'll bet a LOT of your followers are stick car guys. Maybe give us a 20-30 minute on changes you make (base/counterweights) for drive vs. strip duty. Thanks!
Great video, As a Canadian I'm really impressed! I love how you drive it in the snow! Only a Canuk would get the true nature of this. Whose oil do you use? Keep up the great work looking forward to the next video, maybe a series?
Love the technical info. On your lash, most solids rollers I’ve run set at .020-.025. Yours are set way tighter. How did you determine the cold .005 lash? What was originally called out for lash? Thanks
That’s a great question with probably a few different answers depending on application. But for me who drives everywhere, a T56 magnum with 6 gears is hard to beat, as far as clutch I do love my single 11” from Black magic, great durability, great pedal pressure on the street, if you don’t want to go adjustable I would look at a diaphragm that can more than hold for your application and use a Bang Shift Billy to slip the clutch.
.716 lift and a 7000 mile round trip wow! How many rpm do you let it turn? And how often do you change springs? I just love seeing you and billy duke it out 2 awesome cars and great people!
Fan from Ohio checking in!
Welcome boss!!!
The two of you would be an awesome collaboration together one day especially when Bill gets his stick shift drag and drive car going

Thanks for the video Rich. I met you in Orlando, I was in the beat up red 67 GTO. I dropped a valve about half way to South Georgia. Learning the hard way.
Right I wondered what happened…. That’s no fun!

Awesome info that I’ve been curious about as I get ready for my first drag and drive in my 1970 442 over in B.C. In a few months
Great video Richard, THANKS !!
Great video. Glad you started a channel!
Thanks Rich! Definitely going to research the lash Idea for this next engine I will be building…
Also, I cannot believe I’ve never seen inside those valve covers, too freaking cool
Congrats Rich!
New Sub Glad I found ya Channel You Thrash that GTO Harder than Any of the Other Contestants do In My Opinion
Good Video Richard... Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job Richard, will be looking for you in Medicine Hat this summer.
Awesome job. Was great watching you kick butt
Excellent video buddy, this should be a subscription educational series!
Thank you, Richard. Much respect to you Love to watch you guys go.
Good Video Rich ! Lash caps looks like a great idea. I have never ran them
Thanks Richard... Great info. I look forward to many more vids.
Good info. I’m hoping to do my first drag and drive soon. This info helps.
Thanks my Pontiac Friend!
Thanks for the lesson Rich, you tried to teach me that before but I'm a slow learner so to have it in video for is great for us newbies. Some pretty wizzy valve train components and tools which are necessary for drag and drive
Very good basic info to what to look for with the valve train no matter what engine you have. thanks
HEY RG! Great stuff!
Absolutely love this car.
Great presentation Richard. Very clearly spoken even with your nervousness I was able to understand everything you said. I learned that we have common parts even though I only have a MoPar 170CUI. Now I know what to look for in my engines. Thanks 👍🏻

Good Job!!
I Richard, nice video, love to see that Pontiac kicking ass
We run Schaeffers 708 Supreme 7000 15w40 zinc 2000 ppm really helps with the valve train where it is direct metal to metal contact like your pushrod tips
I like your oiling mods on under the VC!!
Wow, what you have done is impressive

Inspiration as a fast great true street car!
Hey ol buddy say hi to your dad the true Iron Man LOL
You bet!

There is a video on adjusting the clutch on the channel, let me know if more info is needed
You are the man for sure . Iron Man Guido
Can you go over your combo?
I definitely will on another video.
Great video, As a Canadian I'm really impressed! I love how you drive it in the snow! Only a Canuk would get the true nature of this. Whose oil do you use? Keep up the great work looking forward to the next video, maybe a series?
I run 20/50 VR1
Thank you…. Yes more videos coming!
Hell ya

Love the technical info. On your lash, most solids rollers I’ve run set at .020-.025. Yours are set way tighter. How did you determine the cold .005 lash? What was originally called out for lash? Thanks
Sorry I missed the question, .016 is what my cam card calls for, but I ended hear based on testing and what seem to cause the least amount of wear.
❤❤😊
Great video, Rich! Are your lifters bushed or needle bearing and do you have a particular reason for your choice? Thanks!
They are bushed and there is less chance of little bits floating about if a failure happens
Thanks!@@Canadianchucknorris69
Without revealing too many secrets, what's the best stick shift trans and clutch combination and set up.
That’s a great question with probably a few different answers depending on application. But for me who drives everywhere, a T56 magnum with 6 gears is hard to beat, as far as clutch I do love my single 11” from Black magic, great durability, great pedal pressure on the street, if you don’t want to go adjustable I would look at a diaphragm that can more than hold for your application and use a Bang Shift Billy to slip the clutch.
.716 lift and a 7000 mile round trip wow! How many rpm do you let it turn? And how often do you change springs? I just love seeing you and billy duke it out 2 awesome cars and great people!
2200rpm is 80mph down the highway with its current set up. You don’t want to know how long these valve springs have been in there…. 35000k miles ish!
@@Canadianchucknorris69 I never thought they would live that long at that lift guess I’ll be calling crowler for my next set!
Love it Guido. I am at messing with mopars if you don't mind subscribing
Of course, appreciate it!
Would aluminum shaft rockers hold up in this application? And do you run titanium valves or stainless? Thanks
Aluminum might hold up but I see too many breaking in the drag and drive scene, I have manley stainless valves
Where do you feed the value cover oil sprayers from?
On the back of the pontiac engine there is a port that I use to feed the sprayers, it is metered so not spray full flow.
@@Canadianchucknorris69 is it metered by a bypass regulator, or is size restricted?
@@russellbroadwell it has a restrictor like a modified air bleed in the 4an fitting on the supply side
