Re: L78 Hydrolic Roller
How concerned should I be with oil on the spark plug threads? Weird thing is it doesn't smoke at all.

Re: L78 Hydrolic Roller
Those are impressive figures for an L78 setup....having the exact specs on the cam and compression ratio would be helpful. Also, were the heads modified at all??
Your torque might improve a little with a smaller primary tube size on the headers...but, 500@ 3500 rpms is very good...much more than I would ever predict for those cubic inches. As for the rear end gears...I would swap the trans for an M21 or M22 and keep the 4 series gear. Hopefully you can post more info on this build...I'm sure we would all like to see the dyno sheet. Good luck. wilma

Are you sure the oil is not from the rocker boxes leaking? TAZ
