After checking all the vitals I decided to finally do a leakdown test. Leaked at 5.6%. So looks like rings are sealed. Cam card showed standard firing order. Swapped cylinders 7 and 4 plug wires and guess what! Hitting on all 8 now! Cam is cut for 4/7 swap. So relieved. Thanks you guys for all...
Ritter XR block with Molnar crank and rods. 9.20 deck with Indy 360-1 heads. I’ve done compression test/198 psi. Pulled plug and grounded to check for firing/changed wire and plug to verify if wire and plug were ok. All this checks out. Have not done leak down as of yet. Did I miss something?
Just finished my build using Ritter XR steel block. While checking vitals I noticed what seemed to be oil leaking from rear main seal. This seal was expensive and I didn’t expect to have any leaks there. Any ideas?
All gallies plugged at china wall except drainback hole. Also all plugged at the rear of block. I just ran filter lines from adapter plate to in and out at filter base. I’m checking for pressure at 1/2 hole right in front of intake on top of china wall.
Installing an oil filter relocation kit from Milodon. Trying to figure which ports on base that are used to plumb for oil flow. There are two 3/8 threaded and of course the 1/2 port in center where the oil filter would normally be mounted.
