Help cam problem in a 440
Hey..BJR.. it looks like all the parts have a nice oil coating like theres no starvation issues and the oil holes in the lifter area are all clear and wet looking..
Hey Moper..The motor has eldelbrock preformer RPM heads and they came preassymbled..i read up the specs and they have a .600 bind hight ...as for the lifters i couldnt tell you...if i had to guess id say they were cheap comp street lifters..they guy that built the motor wont say because he screwed over my buddy and overcharged him on everything..and yea on the spring question i thought it would be a double with a damp. but its the single with the damp...everything i run in my motors works out for doubles when u get into the magnum line...like you i also live by comp...its all i use and ive had great results...as in his case..i had nothing to do with it im just tryin to get it back together and running rite...as in the lifter preload they guy set it before my bud got it (guessing around a 1/4 to 1/2 turn preload)..and said it was ready to fire...guessing he had break in lube on the parts cause if not hes a 'tard..we ran a regular racing filter and 10-40 valv...and unhooked the dist. and cranked it over untill we had achived oil pressure...fired it up and set the idle rite away to about 2k-2.5k for 15 -20 mins...im starting over on the valve-train...thinkin of the comp high lift series..?any comments or ideas...its a 10.1 in a 65 polara..big car and hes not gunna race it so i was thinkin bout a hard hitting dual pattern....not the rev the snot out of it single profile magnum..??..i just dont want it too happen again if that idiot messed sumpthing up on the build...thanks BJR and MOPER...any more help or idea would be great thanks..
