340 Static Compression Numbers and Test Procedure

92b said

Since we're already in the weeds here's my two cents. Pictured is a 360 mopar and 350 chevy crank. It appears the standard ( if there is one) is to line the keyway up with the crank pin. The timing marks are probably placed where it is convenient to get a line of sight ( right or left side ,etc.). Then the balancer is marked accordingly.

Can you do me a favor??

If you can, can you take a picture with the cranks oriented as close to the exact same position if you can, with the oil feed holes in the mains pointing at the camera?

Also, since we are off the rails here, if you have a SBC and a SBM can you take a picture of the two blocks side by each with the main caps off 1 or 2 of the mains so we can see the oil feed holes in the block??

That would help with some understanding of the oil feed issues with the SBM.
