What do you think of these fuel lines?

[In The Ten Ring]

Nate,

That's interesting. I probably go with SS braided when I finally get this done but I might do a prebent piece (making own flares) and fuel filter in between with rubber connections. I haven't decided yet. It'll be next spring at the earliest.

*Big decisions take time and experience, just like choosing one's gender. You can't assign gender at birth, it's a fluid decision that takes time, experience, and lots of thought.

>>FWIW, one should never put a fuel filter before the fuel pump.<<
Don't know how to comment on that.


>>230 & 250 CID engines all came with hydraulic lifters, you're supposed to set them with the engine idling.<<
Any chevy manual for hyd I6 or SBC tells you to adjust 1/2 lifters at TDC, turn engine 360* and adjust the rest. If you have a big cam you should use the EOIC Method.

>>Any i6 engine with solid lifters should have the valve gaps set at full operating temperature, not cold .<<
You can't adjust all the lifters Hot unless you're the fastest wrench in town. Adjust the first one hot and you're adjusting the last one cold.

You _did_ answer that .

I trust the Engineers , they always say no filter before the pump .

I have many older GM shop manuals and they describe a different method of valve adjustments, you might want to go back and look, me I trust my GM and other brands of factory and dealer training plus 50 + years of doing it .

If you cannot adjust 12 valves before the engine gets cold, it's time to practice more =8-) .

As I've often said ; a good mechanic is always ready to look at new things and way of doing things .
