Re: [AMC-list] New Valves

["Thomas Garner" <Tgarner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Case of beer? I used to do front brakes for my office buddy's for a bottle of gentlemen jack. lol.
 I do websites and computers now, but I was a Machinist in the Navy so I ain't scerred. 

 I actually have a buddy who'd rebuild the entire thing for me at no charge. I keep his computers running and help him with techie thingy's. 
I just want to do this myself is all. I enjoy it and sometimes wish I was still a machinist. I've only rebuilt an engine one time several years ago. I had no clue what I was doing and it took me two months. LoL. I was using the parts counter guy and a Chilton book and learned as I went.

This one, I actually had been wanting to rebuild for a while, but couldn't justify doing it cause it ran ok, it just never had much power. When it started smoking like a train, I was actually happy and didn't even try the additives that sometimes help with piston rings and such. lol (don't tell my wife.)

I bought a new compcams camshaft (Part Number: 68-200-4) hoping for a little bit more power. Anybody know if this was a good thing?

Couldn't hurt - just don't get to enthused.
