It was the #3 roller bearing that kept coming out and this past time the #4 was on its way out.Not really sure how the camshaft became bent but I know I’ve had over 20 years.And I remember was the the engine back fired so bad it broke intake top.

I think I’ve found the problem with the roller cam bearings coming off.I had the camshaft checked for straightness and I’m told the thing .018 bent with some as low as .006 out.The thing I need to know is do you all believe that this could cause the roller camshaft bearings to be pulled out of there...

WOW someone must know that there is a seriously a lot of throw away cash out there to even come up with this thingINCREDIABLE.

I bought some stuff for pouring the ports but I’ll have to see if I have anymore of it left over I’ll let you know later and take i pictures of the bottle and what the port looked like after

I remember when edelbrock stuff had to be fix after.But that was when there where actual machine shops and not engine shops.Back in the eighties and nineties there were a lot stuff that had to be fixed after you bought it.But you have to talk with people that are not 30-40 years old about it.So none...

It would suck the oil out of more than likely.

I just don’t think you will have a main seal problem with any of the seal you buy for a Chevy engine there are so many made of different materials over the years.If you were talking about a small block ford I would have concerns because for the most part you only have one to chose from either 2 piec...

Wow that torque and hp curve are really close to one another seems like a torque converter will be hard to get and rpm after the shift will be no drop.Seem like it would like manual transmission better.But good power for a small cid engine.

Do you all know if the difference in these pistons skirts make any difference in hp.

Did you try calling any of those companies tech line to see what they could tell you over just eye balling the catalog.

Negative it’s open ,And swampbuggy haven’t you run these engines before?

Hey guys I have my Ford SVO V-6 with dry sump oiling and the oil drain back or external to the engine the cylinder head drain externally out rear and the lifter valley is blocked off completely and oil drains back externally out the rear.I also run camshaft needle bearings journals.This wasn’t done ...

289nate just curious where is the Verbancic Brothers located I haven’t seen those guys since the late nineties 2000.Are they doing any engines builds?

Because most water pumps use a centrifugal impeller and nozzle at the discharge to restrict the flow so that pressure can build and only allow water under pressure to leave the pump.They also need a suction head on the inlet to get them started building pressure.(Net positive suction head)
