How do lifters effect quench

They don't?

I'm pulling the heads and i can't get the same headgasket right now..

So I'm going with a thicker one, plus premium is kicking my ass.

Makes sense now. Thought when you said this that changing lifters would change quench....

"When i swap out those lifters, I'm going from .040 quench to .050..."

Forgot that you gotta remove the heads (and replace the gasket) on these to remove the lifters.

Yeah, i hate that about the ls platform.

I saw a lsx block that had the lifters accessible from under the intake, i guess it was more about inspection vs actually being able to swap them out..

But It made me dream a little!
That was a very high end racing block (iirc).

The Edelbrock aluminum heads I have on my mustang have spaces on the underside (over the valley) that allows lifter replacement without removing heads, just the intake.

Blows my mind with kids these days having their drivers licenses as not being a priority.

The challenge here is the Job part. She seems to want the freedom without the financial responsibility. I have made it clear. No job, no drive.

My boy took the first test about drugs and alcohol to get his learners permit, then stalled.

He got excited about the rusted C10, then stalled.

I gave him a quick crack at the 5 speed manual Subaru, then stalled.

Prolly the start of school and needing to go places will perhaps energize him.

Other friends are not interested in driving and some are getting wheels.

50/50 split it seems.

With older platforms like the SBC in my vette, just the intake needs to be removed in order to access the lifters.
I suppose the new design of these engines, possibly it adds strength and reduces weight.

My 22 yr old son didn't get his license until he was 18 or 19, can't remember. It was after he graduated high school and after he started college. Hell, I was taking him to work back in May of 2018 when our 2011 Denali got totalled by a drunk driver.

I know I started telling him I was gonna start charging him per mile like a cab when I took him to/picked him up from work multiple times a week.

You'd think, but my big bore, 8.2" deck (302 based, 363ci) Dart block is strong enough for over 1200hp. It's iron though, not aluminum.

She will have her license but the car will sit if there is no funding for gas.
