my throttle cable looks like that too.. so its in to lower revs and out to raise revs?

no not at all

loosening the throttle cable nuts will only adjust the tension on the cable, if your cable is tight then it may alter your revs when taking your foot off the pedal because the throttle plate may not close fully instantly.

its always good to have a little bit of slack in the cable

also be careful when tightening the cable nuts above the manifold, the thread is only alloy or plastic or something, so tighten the nuts up hand tight, then just turn a tiny bit extra with a spanner.

also I found by having a slight bit of slack in the cable my car isn't as jerky when you tap the gas the slightest bit.

    • OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.
    • Nah. You buy a kit that has shorter tubes.
    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
