I have wiped out a 428 due to inaudible detonation. Never heard a thing. Perfect hearing.

Factory drums and hubs were swagged together. That's why the high shoulder. And this makes for a much truer running unit, as the drum gets turned while attached to the hub on the brake lathe, making...

In the 1980's the outfit I worked for started pushing an 'engine oil flush' upsell on the regular oil and filter change. I wouldn't recommend them and got some heat. We bought a few engines, mostly...
