I am working on getting the tune right on my 408 and every so often I get a whacking sound . Its as if someone rapped my aluminum intake with a small hammer. Only happens every 30 seconds or so unless I rev the engine ...then it happens every 10 seconds or so and is more frequent as engine get...

Well did I help it or ruin it ? My engine produced a little less HP than I expected and fell off at 6200 rpms so after mulling it over I decided it was most likely due to the intake .

3 good indicators 1. He had a set of W2 Dyno headers on the wall 2. Has a Sun Distributor Machine and knows how to use it 3 Says he will tune for low and high speed. Frank has been around a while... take a look at this awesome Sun dizzy machine

I came up with this today while installing my rockers . Its always a pain keeping the pushrods positioned while torqueing down the shafts.

I am reassembling my engine after blowing a freeze plug and replacing bearings because I didnt like the look of them and I wanted to double check the oiling system due to what I considered insufficient flow to the top end. Oil pump was gone thru , all galleys cleaned , cam bearings checked for...

Blew a freeze plug and decided to tear down the engine to check head geskets , bore and bearings . Engine had very few hours and I think the freeze plug blew due to me using rtv on install vs adhesive like Indian head . Bearings look to have more wear than they should for maybe 3 hrs of run...

I sold a W2 M1 dual plane intake to a member but cant remember who it was ... maybe Cpearce ? Anyway I am eager to find out how it performed . Anyone else run this combo before ?

Why are oil pump drives so expensive ? Seem crazy... almost as much as a custom roller cam !

Quick question before I pull my lifters out... Do solid rollers care which lobe the were on ? Or which bore they were in ? If so I will store them accordingly untill reassembly . In the past I just pulled and tossed in a box but I thought I would ask .

I blew a freeze plug a few weeks ago and decided to pull the engine so I could check for a blown head gasket. Here is a pic of the head between #5 & 7.

I took my Swinger for a quick drive yesterday and got on it for the first time since building the car . It hit 7k pretty quick then I could smell coolant . Luckily I was 1/4 mile from home . I popped a heater hose off on an earlier test drive but attributed that to the idiot that assembled the...

I am going to ball to ball oil thru pushrods because I wasnt comfortable with the amount of oil getting to the pushrods via the shafts . And since this is a 7500+ rpm capable engine I would feel better with oil coming from both ends. How does the adjuster position look to you ? This it at...

Getting close on this project . Still need to finish bodywork and paint but the engine is going . Did some baseline tuning this weekend . Here isa little sound bite . Idling @ 930 rpm , 18* initial and 32 total . Trying to link to facebook video but not sure how to . Thing sounds...

I am finally getting around to assembling my W2 Stroker and primed it tonight. I am not getting oil flowing out of the drivers side rockers. I am turning the crank by hand then priming ...then turning crank another 1/8 turn... then priming again. Is it just that the cam hole is not lined up ?

I am degreeing the solid roller cam on my stroker tonight and the cam card is different than the other I have had. Help me figure out if I have this thing degreed correctly. The actual #s I am getting straight up is int open= 19.7ish int close= 47.7ish ex open = 56 ex close= 14.5 Lift...

I tore down the bottom end of a 5.9 magnum I have had for a while. There was an old style cam plate instead of a tensioner... I thought magnums had tensioners ? It is supposed to be a low mile 98 motor. The bores look like a low mile motor . Not sure about bearings though... give me your...

Is there a standard procedure for checking the head to block alignment during rebuild? I mocked up my heads / block /intake and noticed the intake bolt holes are off a bit pass to drivers side. One head seems further forward than the other or the intake was machined wrong. That got me...

So I picked up a 5.9 magnum motor that supposedly came out of a rolled 98 ram. I want to do a budget build using as many components I already have as possible. I know I will have to buy a cam ,springs and intake. I havent dealt with magnums before and am unfamiliar with shared components. I have...

I'm running a Lunati Voodoo 268 duration (60403 If I remember correctly) cam in my 360. I'm pulling around 11.5" of vacuum @ around 875-900 rpms idle in park. I know this is a fairly common combo.... What are you guys getting for vacuum and idle RPMs?
