I'am so curious to know what happened! Luckily you turned it by hand first and probably saved some potential damage.

As well I put together an 18 inch 360 degree wheel for better resolution. The small 7 or 9 inch wheels are too small for my eyes! I've the TDC to probably the most accurate an engine can get! The delineation of the hatch marks on the wheel are so far apart now, I can read to the tenth. This is...

Nope, this is the setup

Ok so I found out why the P/V clearance is not right! The rockers were preloading the valves. Which was somewhat strange because I took a couple of the old hydraulic lifters and welded them solid, I put the factory head gasket back on and tightened down the rocker shaft, I thought I could feel a...

Looking at the pics it is kinda funny, especially the old nylon cam gear just tossed onto the floor! Didn't have time to go through all the points you made, but I will. Thanks for everyone's input and I'll get back shortly ( a day or two) with updates. If anyone wants to borrow some pocket...

Ok here's some pics, I'll go over AJ/FormS to triple check. But clearance seems to be an issue. The scratches on the piston are only a few thou deep .

Jeepers, thanks for the visual! I never knew this stuff existed. I just realized i'm getting old! I'll take some time and take a close look. Thanks for the help! awesome

The cam card reads 2 degrees btdc on the intake @ .050, but I'm getting just a tick past tdc and as well the card reads a 4 degree (advance) machined in hence the 108 ICL, whereas I'm reading a tick over 110 so both numbers corroborate. I mean at the end of the day we're hoping to get more than...

Does the pulley have some rubber sandwiched in it? maybe it's meant for harmonics too?

Thanks for the reply! Yes the Ottawa valley area is basically at sea level, actually our average barometer is pretty high most of the time! The heads are the 302 closed chamber style and stock valves, I milled them .015 and the chambers came in at exactly 60cc. I haven't decked the block yet but...

They are the factory flat top pistons, and the cam is installed dot to dot however checking this showed it in a 2 degree retarded position which I'd like to correct. I would have thought this cam would have been fine too as far as p/v clearance, but surprisingly it's not. I was a little...

Yes, the piston crown measures in at .340 thick at its thinnest point, plenty of material to play with. Also I forgot to mention, the p/v clearance was done with out the head gasket. However as pointed out the cam should be installed as listed, so that with throw the intake valve out a little...

Hello All, new member looking for some advice. Basic build of a 318 (1986) rings and bearings sort of deal, street car. Heads have been cut .015 (checked 60cc), the block decked .020 with .028 head gaskets. Hovering around 9.8+ to 10:1. The cam is a Lunati Voodoo 702, installed dot to dot it's...
