Not sure its stuck, seems to me to be rotated? I don't know it it would be worth the risk especially since there is a pretty good sized ding on the outside ring of the plunger cup.
you know the good thing about problems is you learn from each one. I will definitely be planning for solids for any future build or if I have more problems with these. I kinda blew the rest of my budget on forged crank/rods and the lightweight flywheel/twin disc clutch.
I do wonder if maybe when...
yes it was just the loose pushrod making the noise, all the pieces were still in the lifter thank goodness. We saw no evidence of any damage to cam, rocker or pushrod.
I did not, and I'm not sure if my engine builder did either, he did mention he made sure they were clean and lubricated before...
Yeah thats kinda what I thought just wasn't sure if it was ok to use a different set on just that cylinder? Also would like to be able to drop them in without removing the heads.
Comp retro fit 8920 lifters
Thats what my builder said as well but I had a set already so i used them.
So as I...
Fired the engine up after a rebuild, started first try but soon happy turned to sad as a metal to metal tapping started. pulled the valve cover off and saw #7 intakes push rod was loose. Took manifold off and discovered my new Comp Cam roller lifter didn't look so hot..... and now they are...
yeah I should have done exactly that. I put studs in each of the mounting holes on the bellhousing in order to ensure proper alignment.
With this clutch assembly there are two discs and that crappy plastic line up tool doesn't really cut it. Maybe one was in a bind and that caused the lock up I...
yeah it's not binding anymore. I did not dial-indicate the bell housing, it is a quicktime bellhousing that I have used with this transmission in the past, I probably should have tho.
Yeah this post.... spoiler it's fixed now, another spoiler I have really no true understanding why the motor locked up. There may be a lesson in here somewhere...
I just got my engine back from the builder and started the install: Got the engine in place and moved to: inspection cover...
Yeah, kinda seems like it will probably just shift the cam operating RPM range to the right.
I would be very happy with anything in 430-450 range. I'm putting in a light weight flywheel from Brewers and a McLeod twin disc. I'm planning on spinning it 6500rpm maybe a little more if cam and heads...
Guess what I was trying to do was compare the same cam with or without 1.6 rockers, I thought maybe the 1.6 rockers might give me more midrange on that same cam vs 1.5?
Those were my thoughts as well engines are engines should work similarly.
Got chevy valves in the heads shhh.... lol. I am def...
