So guys got all my stuff back from the machine shop, had them tank it,bore/hone it .030, align bore and drill outside bolts for my splayed main caps, sqaure deck it, and balance my rotating assembly.

Excited as i was i pretty much jumped right to it (when i had time ofcourse). Now the only problem is i got #1 in turned her over a few times no problemo. Dropped #6 in, turn her over 1ce no problem, turned her over again and CLUNK!!!! **** rod is hitting the cam so im guessing im going to have to grind it down (actualy rod itself). Anybody have any suggestions?

sweet. looks good. make sure that torque wrench is calibrated. my dad's heads leaked after he got the motor all in so he had to pull it out and couldnt figure it out then just put new bolts in and redid it, used the same clicker torque wrench up to like 80. then he checked all the bolts with his needle one, and they were all at like 60, so a shitty wrench cost him like 100 bucks in new bolts and gaskets and a big setback and pain.

looks good, what color you going to paint that thing?

JesasaurusRex

Pssh, colors for rich people

archemedes

and ones who like their parts to last I'm surprised the machine shop didn't paint it

imma have to grind my rods bro...it should be only a very little bit...can i use my angle grinder just to tap on it?

archemedes

only if you want to grenade the motor rods are balanced just a little off will cause it to be out of balance, have the machine shop do it or buy a balancer for them

JesasaurusRex

or a small circle base cam??? :banghead:

I gotta question about that actually, its not hitting the base of the cam so how would a small circle base help?

archemedes

where is it hitting?

JesasaurusRex

like the side of the lobe
