Nicks Garage 383 build

RAMM said
So...? The new valves caused no valve clearance? I find that weird. The pistons don't seem to be anywhere near zero deck and the cam doesn't seem to be anywhere near .500" . Not there to measure it so....Must be.

This is a great opportunity and I'm glad Nick is taking this approach with even making another video....Now we really see the dilemma an engine builder can go through. If we do this it costs X but makes power do this, If we do this it takes more time and $$$ and it does this, and so on and so forth. I see Nick asked for feedback no less than three times in the video, so lets hear it. How would you "FIX" this 383? And NO I'm not involved, I 've already said I don't do stock 383's, but then again this one is not turning out to be very stock is it? J.Rob

It’s good people can see how much bullshit goes on building this ****. It’s a great example of how easy it is to get buried doing builds like this.

Does anyone know if he actually degrees the cam?? Like Ramm said, those pistons aren’t .008 in the hole. Ray Charles can see that.

That cam isn’t big. It should clear the piston pretty easily.

Like I said before, I never see him look at a plug or even do anything but throw a timing light on it.

Without knowing what the curve is (maybe it’s locked out…if he said one way or another I apologize as I don’t watch all his stuff) before I ever pulled the heads off I would have looked at the timing curve.

God bless him for not being a quitter. I just wish he was more in depth about his tuning protocols.
