    I just got my Speedmaster heads this week. I got the cheapest assembled version. Took them over to a buddy of mine today and had him do a visual, as he used to have a engine shop back in the day. I mentioned the rather small spring package and he went into a box and pulled out a brand new...

    You'd be surprised how many "small parts" are still on there....

    292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

    Soo...in my pile of 340 junk, I found an ancient standard LC-340 piston with rings installed 929.8 grams (2lbs .8oz on my cheap scale). And on a .030 2316, without rings, it weighs 895.8 oz. (1lb, 15.6oz). Side by side comparison with the pin installed 1/2 / 1/2 to each piston, its basically...

    No, I'll throw the lifters away. I actually may have a couple of old LC-340 pistons, and an old set of 2316's in .030 over.

    Neat dyno video....

    Ok, I remember. Yea, JC Carter. JC used to do sandblasting for me several years ago. A buddy of mine was going to buy them all or help the estate sell, but I lost track of what actually happened. JC had all of neat and unusual stuff.

    292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

    Yes, it appears to have weld in it, and the next throw is drilled. But the main/rod bearings look surprisingly good. Bearings are dated 1990 and are .010 under. The plan was to take the block and have it boiled, have the decked surfaced properly, etc. The lifter bores are OK. I pulled all...

    We've talked before Brian, I'm out in Holden. You know a few of my buddies Russ Yoder I think, though I don't think we've met personally. Tom H rebuilt your transmission for you and we talked about that a few years ago.

    I love watching Nicks Garage. They work on some pretty cool stuff!

    @nm9stheham, I think you may have mentioned on the Speedmaster thread about checking the deck clearance, and low and behold there is .015 difference per side. One is at .010, the other at .025, and that's checking 3x and zeroing accordingly each time. So is this typical in production motors?

    292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

    Just so happened I was on their website and noticed that there are 2 styles, and one is for adjustable valve train. But from what I've read Johnsons is pretty good brand.

    292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

    On the guides, it was on the J-heads...... I'm switching to a new set of aluminum heads. Which is a splurge, but I figured rebuilding the heads would be 500-700 and the new AL heads are $1000. As far as balancing. Yea, they're allot of questions to answer. Its a CAST crank motor for sure...

    292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

    Pulling apart a 73-340 I got off craigslist cheap. I had been sitting in a barn for several years and was told they had it in a van at one time. Which must have been true since it had van motor mounts and oil pan. So good and bad news. When tearing it down, I found .060 2316 pistons, j-heads...
