good to see you back at it......hopefully we can line èm up next year. Or this october? Michael

Hi Bob, thanks for your feedback! new Pushrods were ordered from Manton, are on the way at the moment. Yours would have been ok! Michael

Thanks John, but these won´t work.

need new pushrods for a friends build, 5/16" ball / cup with around 9.35" overall length. So i checked online, summit lists comp 7432-16 as 3/8" diameter, 9.4" OAL, 5/16" ball / cup --> that´ll work. Ok, shop here has these available, today i got these.....to find out that the pushrods have 3/8"...

Hi, i put a .039" sheet metal in between tc and wp, much more rigid now. But getting the endplay right is a Pita.....WP and cover on, check endplay....remove, file.....repeat. Got it correct finally (after messing one button up ;-)) Michael

Hi! no, i was not aware, will take a look at their site. It seems to be ok now, if in doubt maybe i´ll order the other one. Thanks!

ok, thanks for your feedback. I´ll continue with the assembly :)

Hi Guys, another question regarding my first stroker big block.....the 440source internal oil pick up does interfere with the 4.25" Crank / rod (440source 512 Kit). I ground the pick up down, now there´s clearance a little more than 0.056" - is this considered enough? Thanks for your feedback!

yes, i´ll do that possibly. the stock cover is pretty weak, don´t know if it´s able to keep control of the cams movement. Thanks at all!

correct about the rear plug.....the plugs were already in and i prefered not to mess with anything on this thing. maybe there´s a chance to access from the valley, with some feeler gauges against a magnetic base or so....have to get creative, thought there must be a solution available....

ok, got the cam installed and degreed in. Btw, between the crank, the gearset and the cam there was a 5° difference to the intake centerline it should have.....now another question: how to check endplay with the stock timing chain cover? Where do i measure? Sorry for dumb questions, SB guy here...

Thanks, will do!

Hi Guys, got a Hydraulic Roller cam for the 512 i´m building at the moment, cam button necessary. I got the Comp 206 cam button, it says for mopar B / RB / Hemi. Installation is not possible, the 3 screws for the timing gear are in the way....even if i use allen screws it wont fit in the center...

Hi Guys, got a howards hydraulic roller cam, found out now that it´s made of billet steel. Is there a composite drive gear available for the big block? I´m not a big fan of the bronze drive gear.....have no experience up til now with it, just want to avoid trouble since this engine is for a...

yes, of course BB. There are some good ideas, thanks for that. I´d like to use a cover like Andys, but it seems that i have to live with the stock one due to the budget. Michael

Hi Guys, is the stock timing chain cover sufficient / strong enough when a roller cam is used? I plan to use a hydraulic roller in a 512, have got the comp cams 206 cam button to ride on the cover. Small block guy doing this swap the first time, so any information is appreciated. Thanks! Michael

Feedback from 440source: "spec is .0015" to .003", i prefer .002" to .003"." So even if it´s within spec, it seems a little tight. I´ll double check my measurements, and if still in doubt i´ll order the bearings with .001" extra clearance to be safe. hopefully these are not too loose then ;-)...

i asked the guy the motor is for to get advice from 440source. At least they supplied the stuff, so they should give a feedback.

micrometer / dial indicator. I´m a mechanic....prefer precise measurements ;-)

Good Morning.....thanks for your feedback. I think they use chevy rods in this kits....so there should not be a problem getting different bearings. But as most of you suggested, i´ll run it as is. Thanks! Michael

bore size is good from a previous rebuild, will do a dingle berry hone to get proper crosshatch. Piston clearance is good.

street build, cruiser type....possibly a trip down the track from time to time, B-Body station wagon.

Hi Guys, building a 512 for a friend with a 440 block and a 440source kit. I checked the crank and the rods, there´s only 0,0016" clearance - is this enough? As far as i know it should be 0.002 - 0.003" clearance at the rod bearings. Thanks for feedback! Michael

Hi, read over at moparts an interesting thread regarding this topic. AndyF´s information steered me towards the howards cam 723445-08 wich i chose for a 512 ci street cruiser build with TF 240 heads (B-Body station wagon)...

Thanks at all for the feedback, will get a fel-pro Viton seal. Michael

Hi Guys, planning a 512 build for a friend, 440 block.....what rear main seal works best? thanks, Michael

cool, have some fun! Please Keep us updated what it does at the Strip! Michael

Yep, thats how it works

Sven, it seems that you put the front bracket on wrong.....bolt must be above the spring....

you too!!!
