Great advice Boob! I need my roof replaced on my house so I will do that as well because hiring a professional would be absurd.

Haha. Poor Mad Dart. You should have never given me your cell. 24/7 tech support now. Good stuff.

I feel like I should start another thread on crankcase vacuum pumps. This new build has 14% cold leakdown and as soon as I put a pump on the gaskets stopped blowing. The HP pickup I could feel in the seat of my pants. The oil is so clean now mainly because the rings are sealing. I have no oil...

Joe Sherman is a liar. The biggest thief I've ever dealt with. Don't ever let a 70 year old senile Chevy builder that works 2 hours a day have $13k to build a mopar. Bad move by me. I'm the idiot. Never met a bigger liar than Joe Sherman.

I had issue with 440 source waterpump. It would not line up with pulleys. Is yours a 440source?

Stay tuned!!

I think the shirt is worse

Yes. It's an internally balance build.

This POS Sherman built just keeps getting worse and worse. Check out the balancer he installed. I couldn't figure out why such a horrible vibration. This is an internally balanced build. Why weights on the balancer Joe?

Ended up going with a torker 2 and barely fit with drop base air cleaner and 1/4 inch phenolic spacer. Had to modify the air cleaner base so it would fit.

Crickets on that front. My cousin Vinny has to deal with it now.

Id love to race anyone at this point. As soon as I figure out how to install a kitty litter sump in the back to keep the oil from slinging all over the track I'm there.

Interesting take on ring gaps. http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/116-0406-cylinder-leakdown-tester/

Any chance these rings just need more time to seat? Here's the build sheet. Got 50k in this car and can't drive it around the block without popping a seal. By the way this is a street build and Joe never mentioned running an evac pump. BIll at GZ says this pump will stop the leaks. Now I just...

Complete tear down on a brand new Joe Sherman build? I think I will call my cousin Vinny and see what he thinks. LOL.

Just ordered a vacuum set up from GZmotorsports. They think a pump will solve the leaks.

Just performed a leak down test. Maybe these numbers would be an indication as to why gaskets and seals keep blowing. Less than 100miles in this build. 3 pan gaskets. 2 main rear seals, one front seal and 2 valley pan blow outs.

All I know is those dirty fingers fixed a $13k Joe Sherman motor that couldn't make it around the block.

Amen. Not me but that guy needs his wife to set him up with some better shop duds. Xmas right around the corner

I was pretty forgiving about it all until I pulled the pan and saw the oil pickup gouged by crank and metal debris all over magnetic plug. Razor blade and front seal spring was an added bonus.

I think I will dilute. Didn't get over 190 today on a long ride and it's 85 degrees out.

40/60 with a bottle of water wetter.

I haven't had much road time but it stays around 180 for a while then starts climbing above 210 water temp at the pump exit. I won't let it go above that. I don't think its a fan CFM issue because it got hot at fwy speed as well. 26 inch core with 3 rows of .75 tubes.

Hey good news is finally got this beast running. Now I need to figure out how to keep it cool. Champion 3 Row with dual 12inch. 3000cfm. I was told a 2 row with larger tubes would do better. It struggles to keep up in hot days.

I guess the question now which offset rockers are better than 440source and which ones are the best?

I have the victor heads with 440source rockers. I have seen some negative stuff out there about the rockers blowing up. 2 mopar builders told me to yank the 440 offset rockers out. $300 rockers can't be worth a damn. I feel like I'm rolling the dice when I rev it. Would love for someone to tell...

Running good now but a little nervous to really romp on it with the 440rockers. Lots of bad reviews on them. It's only a 6000 rpm build so hopefully they won't explode like I've heard they have done for others.

Well after I convinced the builder I didnt do anything to cause all the leaks he did send over a tech to my shop 3 different times. I provided all parts and assisted in the work. The first repair was for valley pan that was not installed correctly. The 2nd repair was for the front seal that was...
