Stock 318 building with Justin
Last couple pics , i mod'd the 4 hole 318 oil filter plate to '8 holes', [thanks Randall] I cleaned off the flash and blended the rear main cap oil pump feed hole before i set the crank in. My thoughts and why...The pump outlet tapers, the cap has no bathtub or lead, just a hole with a tiny round swail.. so now mod'd ...it keeps a more uniform passage/lead to the cap feed hole and a smoother bend feeding the system. Nothing earthshattering. I added a pick of the summit lower gear. Fits tight, nice. I always soak them , lil chain interference while rotating till it breaks in. Seems to be a decent pc, rollon chain btw.
Yes thats an mp hy lifter box, have a set of them im using on this 318, though im considering the crane anti pumps i just picked up off the site...i have some adjustable rockers that have been collecting dust that didn't work on another build with 1.50+ diameter springs..but would more than likely work on this. BuT I don't want to vere too far off into aftermarket land, so i might just stay with the mp hyd lifters. Since this is a stock building thread, kinda still stock ,i guess...just added a cam and some head finessing is all. What do you guys think?
I'm bailing back to san diego for the week, back next weekend to finish it off and start assembling an 7.3 idit ford. I've got to get my 340 build thread up still and the continuance of the 410 resurrection. Have a ton of crap to work on, speedmaster mag heads thread coming up too, next week.
