Performance Technician March/April 2016

by | Apr 2016 | 0 comments

In this issue, Greg continues the Camshaft Basics saga, with part III – explaining torque functions on camshafts. Be sure to also check out this month’s Tech Minute on fasteners, torque and lube. And, Henry Olsen details how modern gasoline effects vintage engine performance.

We also introduce our first Business Brief: “Earn more, Work less, and Dominate!” – a look into customer service and key tips you may want to consider incorporating into your every-day shop business profile. We also share important safety information on Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries in our Health and Safety Department.

 

In this issue:

CAMSHAFT BASICS, PART III
Holy smokes! We’ll bet you’ve never seen the article with this level of tech before. It’s like an engineering course, only much more readable.

GOOFY GAS AND VINTAGE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, I
Is it still gasoline, or has it become “Frankenfuel?” Also, how to handle volatility and vapor lock.

TECH MINUTE: FASTENERS, TORQUE & LUBE
Usually, our “Tech Minutes” are short pieces, but this is such an important topic that our man Greg has given us what amounts to a full-fledged feature. As they say, “read and heed.”

AND….
Performance Technician visits safety issues with AGM Batteries, covers Weekend Warrior with hot rod wizard Dick Miller, and introduces a new set of content designed to help improve your business: Business Briefs.
