Any other people here have a problem shearing rocker shaft bolts when torquing to 30 #'s? I've busted a few of them and I know the torque wrench is accurate. Also need a source for some new ones at a reasonable price.

I built a 273 and the guy who did my heads installed new valve guides, new valves, new springs and cut the valve bosses for Viton seals. It only has a few thousand miles and smokes when I let off the gas. I pulled the plugs and it looks like 3 cylinders on the right bank and 1 on the left are...

I recently rebuilt a 273 and had a multitude of problems with carburetion and timing. I finally got it to run and fixed my timing issue with a new distributor. I ran it at about 2500 rpm for about 30 mins to break in the cam and drove it about 40 miles, with 18" flexpipe on the stock manifolds...

I had my block bored .040 over and have installed new pistons and rings. When I installed the crank it rotated with ease. As I intalled each piston, the crank got progressively harder to turn until when the 8th piston went in I couldn't turn it with an 18 inch combination wrench on the crank...
