steel rockers does not equal high rpm. Sorry man but you need those Harland sharps

Man that plug is pretty important. It routes the oil thru the filter. Did the last guy not have it in there or what?

I swear I fed a 318 magnum 6 ft. of 1/4” rope before it locked it up

I run a felpro 1008 to 15 lbs of boost for thousands of miles

Maybe but I have doubts. It was a strong double roller and I had a v6 tensioner. I’ll check for slop. Cam is .490” 218/218 115 Lsa. Fairly mild cam. I think I floated the valves. These are EQ heads. Have about 2000 miles on this engine. Zero issues.

Not sure how because I have a pathetic 8.5:1 compression. A .039 gasket, pistons were down the cylinder .047” and my cam isn’t even that large. Barely .5” lift

No compression on 4 cylinders. Valves touched pistons on 6 cylinders. 2 survived. Must have floated the valves.

I pulled 5 plugs that are easy to get to. 3 require loosening exhaust. They looked ok. E85 keeps everything too clean it’s hard to see much. Gaps are good. I think the center post boot may have slipped off while under that hard pull. Going to shove a scope in it this weekend. You’d think putting...

Don’t doubt the worst but it didn’t make any scary noises and e85 is helpful. Bottom end is oem. No strange noises at the crankcase or oil separator. No i left it alone and changed the cap and rotor. The oil pump drive gear is pinned so no worry about it ever slipping. I set #1 to tdc...

That’s my last resort. Should start on its own tho. Even after sitting. I’ve thought to change the oil as well. May have a ton of alcohol in there I can’t tell. It hasn’t been mixed up from cranking but stick looks normal.

Was pulling very hard up a hill. Came over the other side and stalled at the stoplight 1/4 mile down. Found I Melted the center post on the distributor. Engine is in sig. 5.2 turbo, Megasquirt efi, e85. Changed all plug wires and the coil and the cap and rotor So I’ve never gotten it to start...

I rode in my friends plaid he rented on Friday and wow! The acceleration was absolutely unreal. I know I’ll never obtain that type of acceleration or 1/4 ET but it’s fun to strive for

I should mention I’m high altitude and run from 6-10,000 ft., my turbo seems to fall nicely on the map. Altitude correction is negative 3 psi. Running 13 psi up here is like running 10 at sea level. I have to play catch up with less atmospheric pressure. I don’t think I have an exhaust leak...

It certainly helps to have high gears compared to an NA car. I’m street only at the moment. Sorry guys, I should have posted my specs earlier: I used a oem bottem end magnum 318. EQ iron heads w/ 1.92 valves. Honed, ringed, and bearings for a stock bore. About 8.8:1 c/r. All roller valve...

Hey thanks! As for specs: Oem bottem end magnum 318. EQ iron heads w/ 1.92 valves. Standard bore, About 8.8:1 c/r. All roller valve train, turbonetics 62-1 turbo, tial 38mm waste-gate .84 a/r. I use e85 with 44lb injectors in a M1 single plane intake. Megasquirt 2 controller, diy missing tooth...
