update to oiling problem. The pedestal side of oil hole on head was not completely drilled through. So no oil up top for that side. My fault for not verifying when priming. Primed up to lifters few squirts to rockers and time to break in. If the head was put on the other side we would have never...

Pee hole in the rocker

It is a big block, so I will have to call Harland sharp monday. There may be a slim chance you are correct.

Not possible. The shafts are like this both sides &ends.

Yes, but don't I need the cam in the correct position?

Not sure how to do that with these trick flow heads

Cam bearings installed correctly. 1971 383 stroked to 496 Harland sharp rockers & shafts. Don't think these shafts can be installed incorrectly. Oil holes drilled on both sides. Internal pickup blocked off, external pickup wet sump. Trick flow max wedge 270's heads

I am in need of some knowledgeable advice. Once again I have been plagued with engine issues. This is a fairly new race engine. Never been raced. Only broke in and ran a few other times. I am having an issue with getting oil up to the passenger side rockers. All of the push rod tips at the...

Man I hope so!!

Double checked Tf heads valve are indeed @ 15 degrees

Zero lash, gasket on, no checker springs. Used springs on heads.

Are you meaning like my valves? They were made to accommodate my trick flow 270 max wedge heads. Int 2.190 ext 1.760

These are the specs of my pistons

Pistons were made by race tech. I will have my son look for the info .

My pistons were made to accommodate my heads. Intake 2.190 exhaust 1.760 & cam specs. I had to edit to be specific

Yep. I like it here. Wish I was here more than just 1 or 2 days a week

I live in gridley. North of yuba city.

You are correct, the milodon destructions are vague. I read them several times but never quite understood. I even bought a DVD from milodon, that I am going to watch again. I really appreciate the help and info. I work out of town so it won't be until next weekend, but I think I will just PM...

I will definitely look into the valve relief cutting. I think piston dome is +5

I am going to give cam degree another shot

That is way beyond my knowledge

I have the trick flow 270's max wedge, indy 400B intake the cam specified, topped with an AED 1100. Car weighs 2660 with me in it

I am afraid I might be in over my head

Thought I had knowledgeable help when I started this. Quickly found out I didn't . I do have another 383 block. Would it be worth a shot to find a different shop and try again? I only used the shop I did on recommendation. They used to build my father-inlaws Chevy comp eliminator motors. I do...

This is my first build of this magnitude. First time using milodon gear drive. (Still don't quite understand) . Thought I had it. When I did the clay neither valve touched. Also wasn't quite getting valve lift on intake according to cam card. It wasn't until I put all together prime and...

Degreed I did. 108 centerline

Race only. 64 dart

I currently have harland sharp 1.5 rockers. Cam is custom grind

So I need some valuable advice, not asinine comments. I have a 383 that I stroked to a 496. My problem is that the block was decked so bad that the pistons are .023" out of the hole. I put on .060 cosmetic mls head gaskets to bump up compression slightly. Problem now is exhaust valve is hitting...
