cool , small amounts didnt show up on the old hemi car either...

supposed supposed to be .004 ...research it /cast heads....006/alum. heads-------------cold...

suposedly .004 on a cast iron head, .006 on an aluminum head= cold I have been setting my solid roller cam/alum. heads at .006 tighter for 12ish yrs. , the one time I checked them they were right on , have had no problems ...

I usually get the lucked up thing backwards > ^^^^^^ Stiil looked like too little cam gear mesh to me ... no doubt you`ve put some thot into all this , what could you do to get a little more...

I see your concern , looks to be too little gear engagement on the cam gear too , doesnt look like it would last very long . jmho<LOL

do some research !!!

N Neat , but why so much installed clearance ? Have heard of some guys that supposedly ran .005 on big blocks , I`ve always ran .007-.010....hemi, sbc, 440 wedge .

you guys not remember why the factories went to roller cams ?? The gov. put mandates on oils , and took almost all the zink out of oils .

you evedently havent seen real world tests of burning up bearings with diff. oils ....

pipeline engine ??

kinda agre w kinda agree with you , but but i ran what ever oil was would be furnished by the small sponsers I had , back in the hemi days , as long as it was name brand , and the hemi didnt give a dam what kind , 30 , 40 or 50 weight ...

I hit the agree button , they aren't even rounded off , wheaties neeed !!!! lol

the first time I changed oil in a new 1969 coronet 440-4 speed ,rt , something started blocking the drain hole , reached in w/ a wire w/ a hook bent on it , and pulled a gob of steel wool out --sabotage from the factory , no doubt !

You are so right , algores jet polutes more than half the cars on this forum .

a little out of line here , but , what pisses me off is, David Page went to work for edelbrock, he was the go to guy for troubles at fast fuel inj., he was reportedly still in memphis , but in a diff. building.

will, more than likely feel like less torque .

someone brought it up---------

I have been thinking about going to a160 just for an experiment , I played w/ about everything else in the cooling system---------

I did a couple , just to compare (experiment) , no diff in anything , except they are in there and cant be unscrewed ------------easily.

I quit reading about halfway thru this post , I ran w/o the plug washers in my hemi for 14 yrs with no problems , nary a one ! Even got the idea from Tom Hoover ! The alum tubes sealed very well , unless they are worn out or chewed up from the washers to start with .

why not move up to 89 or 91 , and fugetaboutit ?

Yeah, but they didnt put out the h.p. were getting out of them today !!

WHOPPS SOME ONE BEAT ME TO IT !

AGREE , BUT .006 IF ITS AN ALUM. HEADED V-8 .

Usually about 80 cents a gallon higher here .

Interesting , I run 93 non ethanol in 2 john deere lawn tractors, chainsaw, leaf blower , and my 505'' barracuda , no problems w/ any of them .

Agree with all of it except the hemi part . The sides of the hemi piston is where the quench is at , not the bottom of the piston . And on a superstock hemi , we couldn`t go above 36 degrees very far w/o killing power . I had jacked around with it at the dragstrip , went up to 42 and slowed it...

I hit the agree button- If the parting lines are still lined up perfectly. The later stuff sounds kinda suspect !

I replaced the rodbolts in a hemi superstock type engine w/ mopar bolts , didnt change anything , knocked them in w/ a hammer while holding the rod in my left hand.< tells you how tite they were . That engine was raced for a lot of yrs. , and as far as I know are still in it -----------

I have not had any trouble w/ belts (on cars) , if u can find a kevlar belt in the size u need , you`ll probly never have to replace it .
