Hello old and new friends

[Valves]

Really glad you came over Carl. I was wondering just the other day about you, and if you were going to be one of the MF refugees.

Cute cat FR. I remember the pics of your cat on an amp.

My 68 big block Camaro had nice big heads with hardened valves and long tube headers. Did 12.5s back in the day and then….oh wait…

"Port and polish" we used to say.
But I'm talking two stroke now.
There were no valves: just magic and acceleration.

Welcome, Valves, i hand grind, port & polish the cylinder heads like the old school 70's pro Stock draggers used to do before all the new parts craze,, & 3 angle valve grinds. Open them ports up to match the gasket but..critical..do not affect the velocity of the flow. Most HP you can get for free & some work put in ..easy 75 HP.. Check out how much of the thermactor had to be ground on these 1983 smog heads. View attachment 111533View attachment 111534View attachment 111535View attachment 111537

"Port and polish" we used to say.
But I'm talking about bikes and two-stroke now.
There were no valves then: just magic and acceleration.
Literally, SOO much thrust between my legs.
TOO much.
Many died.

Sounds fun! Who's on the ivory?

Ask you asking me?
It's just me old mate (but younger than me).
I tease him about not being able to groove like Stevie Wonder.
He is too young to have appreciated Magazine back in those days but he plays well.
Also, he can recondition a Fender Rhodes.
Also, he can appreciate how Leon Russell played the chords. This means a lot to me.

I think he would like to play a Rhodes all the time but we all got tired of carting it around.
