416 Burning oil and the road to redemption

I think it would be safe to bet that 75% of modified sbm's geometry is less than sufficient . it is something very important but not discussed in depth enough . someone should do a thread on installing a B3RE kit on a messed up geometry engine to make it right .I find this very interesting and I have read all of B3RE info on his site it is a very interesting read for sure that I need to read 4 or 5 more times to fully understand . I have seen many nice rockers over the years that were ground up or ruined in my opinion and it's from just not understanding what's going on .


I'd take your bet because I think 75% is LOW. It is near 100% of the time wrong when any of the normal things happen...like more lift...roller tip...taller installed height...or any combination of the aforementioned.

Will they run? Sure. Are they right? Nope. I spent years installing blocks on heads because that was all there was. And the customers bitched because all the Chevy guys and hillbilly MoPar guys said they never had to do blocks. But my **** didn't break rockers, didn't need the lash constantly run and th valve springs and guides lived longer. The B3 system is so much simpler it's practically unscrewuppable if you take the correct measurements.


THANK YOU MIKE FOR MAKING IT EASY.
