That’s not bad . I have more than 3k in my W2 heads alone . Then add the rockers , intake and headers for another 2500. What is happening with the mission Impossible 318 project ? I see Servedios doing the port work but not a peep about the rest of the build . I personally think its a great...

His show is one of the only car shows I can stand to watch on Motor Trend

My block only required a hone and rering . You may find the same . These blocks are pretty tough and fuel injection makes them last even longer .

You can buy one for $300 here from Jalopy Jungle pickapart with a 30 day warranty.

As for how how long it might take to show signs of failure. I built a 340 for my 340 4sp Dart Sport using a Hughes .513 hi energy cam . Breakin seemed to go well . Drove it around for a few weeks before driving from Boise to BIR in Minnesota to race it . On the way home in the middle of...

Move the throttle lever by hand slowly while looking down the carb (engine off) . Does fuel squirt as soon as you start moving the throttle? If not that may be your issue . The accelerator pump needs to be adjusted .

Good thing its still warm enough to power wash there

Power wash the bare block , blow it dry and a couple cans of WD40 then wipe it down . You can never wash a block too much .

Is that the bottom of the bore ? Or the pan rail ?

1/16 “ should be fine . You got lots of meat there .

It will clearance itself the first time you hit 6k rpms …lol Worth the time to disassemble and clearance then a good wash . But while it is assembled mark where the bolts come close to the block with a grease pencil or such .

I was suggesting that but it would lead to hot spots etc.

I’ve heard that too big of gasket bore can lead to pooling of fuel in the recess between head and block . Any validity to that ?

My W2s are closed chamber iron race heads . I run 9.7 comp and my cam is a 246/250 on a 108. No issues … I think the TF chambers are as good or better so they should support high 10s compression. The quench will be the trick . You could install .050 gaskets instead of .020 and get more...

Last name is Cuda ? Wow! My sons middle name is Cuda . First name is Jerhemi ….lol Jer Hemi Cuda Baird ..

Question … What does the Cuda’s Cuda refer to ?

my 408 has W2 Harland Sharp 1.6s . No issues with oiling both ways . Check for excess clearance at the lifters just to be safe . And make sure the lifter oiling hole is not exposed at max lift .

And I run both oil through pushrods and rocker oiling .

I would run Cometic .020 gaskets to get good quench which will allow you to run more compression without detonation . You should be safe running 11:1 with the alloy heads and a good timing curve . You running a digital ignition?

And those are the tall covers … correct

Great find ! I had those on my first W2 build and have been looking for a set for the current W2 . For reference, what is the part number on them ?

Try to isolate where it is coming from and the tempo . And is it a tick or a knock ?

Lets see a pic of the linkage ? Did you use the Edelbrock adapters to mount carbs forward ?

the factory adapter kept leaking so I popped for the Canton unit . Was worth the money .

I dont have a payment on an 70,000 truck . Instead I spend the equivalent amount on my toys . My newest car is a 2005 bike.

I run one on my W2 motor . no more leaks .

Same engine as the Mazda MX6….IIRC Carbon build up exacerbated the issue .

Nice ! I have 2 sets . 1 on my W2 Swinger . Period correct and as good as stock as far as Im concerned .

spot on info . Here is another …
