No you will not gain any power form them being removed. what little bit they weight i don't think you will have any power. but you never know i guess. Removing the tors just eliminates loss of spark, won't rev just idles, and so on.
Atorque wrench is not tool that should only cost $15. I belive if your gonna torque something down you should use a good name torque wrench like snap-on or mac tools. The only thing I can think of is to cut rest of stud off and drill it out and tap threads out. Try soaking with some good penetrating oil first.
I wouldn't take a chance and the roller quit turning and possibly ruining your chain. Plus that means you have to work 6 tims harder. Just put a slider on and don't have to worry about roller giving you fits.
I would replace the head. There are several aftermarket companies out there that can help you out. I would drop a pm to dlnoss and he can help you out. I wouldn't chance using that head over again.
32:1 here. You will get alot of diffrent answers on this one and what type of oil everyone uses. Like stated do a search and you will get all the answers you want.
Hey guys been searching for about an hour now for results and got alot of mixed answers. I would like to install a ricky stator timing plate on my shee. I was wondering if i need to rejet or can i get away with uping my octane rating. I run Klotz 32:1 now. 93 octane rating on the fuel that i use now. My mods are in my sig. Thanks for your help.
Bad thing about the aluminum ones is they will strip out due to the vibration from the engine. Can't go wrong with the stock one after Holyman gets done with it.

Well here it is. Got to the link above and see the pics. Latter.
Make sure that you have it set on the right cylinder setting. It may be possible that it won't read rpm's due to not haveing a true 12 volts. just my opinion.
definetly worth a shot. It all depends on how much cash you got laying around for a aftermarket axle. Do you have access to a lathe so you can rig it up and check the runout of the axle and maybe find your bend.
