Looking for a used SBC 4"nominal bore iron or steel honing plate

do you guys think the price is too much ? That setup looks like a US government surplus? nothing wrong with that. stones interchange with Sioux that's a plus,also I believe the driver will drive Sioux spline stone holders.KOLee always made quality stuff, the price your asking in todays market might...

Ive made adapters for the sunnen stones to Sioux 11/16x16,and I do believe I have an adapter somewhere in my tool box for 11/16x16 to 9/16 don't remember pitch but for black and decker?

donc you made me a couple holders.i love em. do you keep records of what they were sized to ? I can remeasure my pilots but if you have it on file it would be easier. Hey Jake how are you? I don't keep a record, whatever your Pilot size that I fit your holder too,add.0003-.0005.with that if your no...

Before I started making the complete holder I was modifying Sioux holders which means that they had to come apart,the early holder in the pics comes apart not easy but somewhat serviceable. The design after used a wafer band pressed between top and and tube.To get theses apart I built a backwards pr...

I have the same truck,it seems the 2WD version can do some wacky electrical stuff including throwing codes. My friend whos a GM tech. advised me to take the wire connector on the crossmember,diconnect then connect. That fixed mine, seems the 2WD were affected. worth a try?

Tenths ind. 1.180-2.000 range, setting mic, case , complete with an adapter for larger sunnen gauge extensions"increases range" $700.00

Might want to consider contacting Tom Molnar, his rod bolts are made by ARP,but to his specs, they stretch to the recommened torque. If it says 30 ft.lbs. then an additional 40degrees will yield say .0065. they do the first time and repeat.everytime. His bolts are designed correctly. He also supplie...

That's funny,we used to call the engineering students slide rules. Getting to your point on guys asking for advice,you and I have spoken on this, we need to help where we can. I personaly don't want to see this trade go away,so I will put some effort into the younger crowd,until they hit the asshole...

Adger ,heres one for the old guys. I am constantly reminded of "old school" I don't like the term probably cause they are referring to me. Always telling me my ways are 'old school" well a couple of "new schoolers" almost experts are complaining they cant get the cam degreed...

Knight, I use the single angle cutters, mainly for appearance. It looks better. If you bump the seat and top cut with the stone on freshen ups, then 60 and 75 it, with separate single angle blades, it actualy looks like you used the machine to cut the seats, plus they are more defined, and sharp, a...

Maybe Ill chime in here. Frankshaft, you said it I cant add to that, except I was talking with a couple of stock super stock engine builders at a race, the point came up cutters or grind, I believe theres a purpose for both, I also believe in ground finish. myself and a well known builder admitted w...
