I took out the spring and check valve found a spacer that fit right in perfectly. Working it now.

I agree its easy. just need to be super careful with the check valve and CLEAN.

I am confused as to how that tool would help my situation with regard to checking valve to piston clearance and pushrod length I can measure the cam lobe lift with a mag. base dial indicator. I have already measured the cam and checked the intake centerline. Now that that is set I need to make...

Yea. I think I will give that a shot. I really didnt want to disassemble the lifter but I think I will.

I have them. I still need a firm lifter for accurate lift. Yes, I could use a dial indicator on the retainer, but still need accurate lift.

Need more help here. I'm installing a Howards hydraulic Ratter cam in my 340. I need to check my valve to piston clearance and get my pushrod length figured out. I have decked the block for finish so I could use SM closed chamber aluminum heads and Crane roller rockers that came with the engine...

That's Mahle I have. It supposed to be .040.

Running 2316 forged pistons on H beams. I have a set of Mahle head gaskets that are supposed to be .040 thick but I don't know how much they will compress.

Nobody had what I was after. Need to get this thing together so I settled for this Camshaft Series:  Rattler Year:  1964 - 2003 Make:  Chrysler Engine:  273, 340, 360 Camshaft Type:  Hydraulic Flat Tappet Basic RPM Range:  2000 to 5800 Valve Lift Intake:  .480 Valve Lift Exhaust:  .488...

I wasn't getting a warm and fuzee feeling when I called and spoke with Tom so I canned the Hughes idea and went with Howards. Nobody had what I was looking for so I settled on a Rattler cam lifters and lube 718001-09. If I think I need more lift ill go with 1.6 rockers. All in stock at Summit...

The engine did have a solid cam in it when I bought it. I like the idea of a quiet maintenance free cam, if I can have it. The cam That was in it had the following stamps on it. I actually considered putting hydraulics on it. I have not determined the profile of it yet. I can only assume its a...

Roller wasnt in the budget. But, yea.

Yea, I'm not sure. I guess ill wait and see what Howards says.

I submitted my build and car info to Howards. Ill wait and see what they recommend. I just hope they have something in stock.

Ill be checking it, I just need to find the cam. I think I settled on one from Howards, less lift and little closer to my realistic range, HOWARDS CAMS 718001-09 Camshaft Series:  Rattler Year:  1964 - 2003 Make:  Chrysler Engine:  273, 340, 360 Camshaft Type:  Hydraulic Flat Tappet Basic RPM...

I will be checking VTP clearance, if necessary I will modify the intake pockets. General rule is .100 should be safe on the intake. From what I have read.

I am running stock length H beams, forged stock crank, pistons machined down to achieve zero deck. I can use my head gasket of choice to achieve the quench I am leaning towards .030 MLS. The block has been decked for finish for the MLS gaskets and aluminum heads

I was on the Howards site and found this, 710991-08 710991-08 Year:  1964 - 2003 Make:  Chrysler Engine:  273, 340, 360 Camshaft Type:  Hydraulic Flat Tappet Basic RPM Range:  1800 to 5800 Valve Lift Intake:  .470 Valve Lift Exhaust:  .470 Duration Intake:  275 Duration Exhaust:  275 Duration...

TBH, I was thinking this cam is a bit much for what I'm doing. I think I need to tone it down a bit. The real questions are where? Lift, duration, LSA?

I have been looking. With the 108 LSA and the duration @50 with this lift combo it's a it of an odd duck.

Ill try to keep it short. The car is a Dodge Dart Sport 340. I'm doing a refresh on my 340 (1969 engine), here is how its going together. 340 bored .030, zero decked, closed chambered SM heads .03 head gasket. I have a Holly Strip Dominator intake with a Barry Grant 750 DP. Looking for a dual...

I have nice Holly Strip Dominator intake I am willing to trade for an air gap manifold or sell this for $250. The 4150 mounting holes have been heli-coiled. This was running on my 340. I am changing up my top end set-up. I live in the Manchester, NH area.

Im trying to find a .060 composite. seems they are all MLS now. Thats how I really want to do it. How did it run?

Valve reliefs are symmetrical.

I was in line with the pin and check by rocking.

So many Reponses, I appreciate it. Here is what I have decided to do. I'm going to machine the pistons down to zero deck, which is the amount above for each piston. This should give me a balanced power stroke for each hole, I would think. Use a MAHLE / CLEVITE 3536SG head gasket which should...

I assembled it for a mock up (no rings or piston clips installed yet) for checking bearing clearances and piston height. The rods are new. I know they still need to be checked. I am going to do some swapping and rechecking in the next hour. I measured the the piston to deck height myself inline...

I am +.030. 4.070. I see 4.180 but I don't think it takes the chamfer into account.
