Alright, i'm back!!! I have some issues with my engine that I wasn't able to fix until a week ago. Startes with two bent pushrods in cylinder #2, further checking showed that all pushrods were hittin the cylinder heads towards the intake side, also that the heads/spring combo was not supporting my cam lift (I purchased my heads from ebay user wjrwolfe1 and send my camshaft data to be sure that the spring combo will suit my application... even at 1,6 ratio and I used 1,5 ratio), so the retainers were lightly hitting the valve seals. So go figure. My fault for not double checking averything as I should.
Long story short I took apart the engine top, send the heads to machine the valve guides lower + extra clearence on the pushrod holes + changed dual springs to behive to get extra rocker clearence since this was also an issue when I asembled the engine and the only rocker that fitted there were the Proform ... yes ... I know ... Now with behive I can put there my 273 OEM rocker with no problem or my Crane Ductile with no problem.
Now the car is running again but I'm having some odd thing with timing that started back right before I have the bent pushrod issue. I will start another port about that, but bottom line is that I getting 30ยบ o more initial advance ... no pinging or kickback ...
I'll add the link here ..
