Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

I'm wondering if your talking about seeing the 1 degree off set of the cutters?

Since your doing pistons anyway, I'd be tempted to roll/offset dowel the heads off the cylinder wall.

My estimate would be that you have about 650 HP@ 6000-6200 rpm. A good running combination in my view. To get to 9.50 you're going to have to get close to 140 MPH. At the same weight, that means you need about 100 HP.

After what Dwayne posted about potential cam wear, which was something in the back of my mind anyway, my mind is made up. Bronze it is. Especially since BBM is probably the easiest engine on earth to change the gear on. It will just have to a maintenance item to keep an eye on.

I'm guessing at least 1500.

Mike, I'm installing your cam R76424-77424 in a 440 Mopar w/a high volume oil pump. What dist gear should I run? I ask because Crane says high volume is a no-no with their coated gears.

I use a contraption similar to that but I use micrometer heads you can buy on e-bay for short money, no indicator required.

What about a 6.0 out of a truck?

Drill baby, drill! Free exchange of ideas. I have high hopes for this exchange.

Modern sealing technology is one of the best attributes of the ls platform in my opinion. The only major oil leak I ever had was when I broke a rod in the water box and pieces of the block landed on the track. That was a pretty good size coolant leak too!

Ya ..after looking at photos on line I decided that too ..parts are on the way .... looks like job is all labor but not much different then old gen 1 stuff ... good news is I learn fast In a couple aspects its easier- no scraping paper gasket residue off the block and no having to compress the thic...

Bob, I understand your exasperation. Using myself as a proxy for the average or even sub-average intellect on this site, we know how separate the wheat from the chaff. After a while you know what screen names to pass over and dismiss out of hand. Don't give up on us!
