    Drawings

    Very random and probably far fetched but does anyone have access to 440 connecting rod and piston drawings with full dimensions? Original not aftermarket.

    No I don't, actually not sure what it is. It's the same one since I got the car

    493 carburetor tuning question

    I don't have a protector but I took some rough measurements and did some maths and it probably has around 3 degrees of play in the engine.

    493 carburetor tuning question

    So I pulled the distributor today and I couldn't find anything wrong with the springs or weights. They have no slack, consistent tension between the two and they move smoothly. Just for the sake of it I lubricated them with some white lithium. Put it back together and started the car. After...

Let me know if I'm on the right track or not. One...

    Thank you, I'm hoping this random April snow will go away so I can get back to it. Only have time on the weekends to work with it.

    493 carburetor tuning question

    So this weekend I did some reading thanks to Mattax and I had too much of the transfer slot exposed which is why it was running so rich. Ive leaned it out and now my idle mixture screws actually do what they're supposed to. I went for a strole around the neighborhood, nothing crazy and it drove...

    493 carburetor tuning question

    Hello all, I am trying to tune the carburetor on my 493 stroker but I have never worked with anything this big and neither has my dad nor my co-workers so I'm hoping I can get some insight from those of you with experience. Firstly here are the specs of the motor. Engine: 493.41 cu. in. 10.89...

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    For anyone curious, the intake valve in cylinder 8 was stuck open. The pushrod jumped up on the edge of the lifter and was keeping it open. So it was stealing all the air and fuel from cylinder 1. I have reset the pushrod and lash on that side. Darn rockerarm adjuster came loose. It's good and...

    I like the carb cleaner idea. I may do that as well.

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    Sorry I should clarify. I was messing with it a lot to try to learn more about this problem. That was the last setting I had when I gave up. Normally I would have an 800 idle and around 10° advance. I probably should have specified that... oops It is a 727 auto. High stall converter. I forget...

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    If I can't find an easy (and cheap) solution that's probably what I'll end up doing. Hopefully it will just go away eventually.

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    We have been playing with the timing to try and resolve this issue and it appears to have no effect. Last I left it it was at around 30 BTC. (Still tuning it though)

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    Thats a good point. Wish I still had the cast intake to test it. I'll probably get some temperature reading to see how bad it actually is and then either up the idle or get a dual pane intake.

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    Yes it happens idle which is around 800 rpm. And if we rev it up to maybe 1500 or 2000 you can feel the exhaust getting warmer and the valve cover cools down until you bring it back to idle.

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    If this is my problem would this mean the passenger side isnt getting enough air or is getting too much? My exhaust flow feels the same on both sides, it's just the temperature that's different. However I guess the engine is gonna push the same amount of air regardless of what kind of...

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    I'll get one from work on monday and get some numbers of the exhaust, valve covers and headers on both sides.

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    I'll check the intake for damge/poor surface mating tomorrow but im not sure if that would effect the exhaust being cold.

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    The header on the passenger side is the same distance from the valve cover as the driver side. It is getting oil. We have had the valve cover off multiple times to check lash and everything was getting oil. Also we primed the engine and cranked it over with the valve cover off and oild was...

    Cold exhaust, hot valve cover.

    Hello. I have a new issue that has come about with my 440. First, some background. It's a new engine. (Maybe an 2 hours of run time and less than 5 miles of actual driving) It was built last year but was recently stripped to a short block to investigate a noise. It ended up being nothing of any...
