I went with the Fitech 600 unit..been on for almost a year.. no problems to report with it so far..no time slips..i built most of this car when i was in high school and it needs a lot of changes to be track worthy...i decided to build a dedicated race truck and keep the duster for a nice...

damn its been like 8 years since all this!!! motor ran well for about 3 months..then i lost #7 cam lobe for some un known reason... put a new cam in and its still running strong all these years laster!!! but man i have learned a lot and reading through some of this im surprised i ever got it...

I have never ran procomps but i have ran proforms for a while and like them never had a problem with them could have been the luck of the draw though

Have not been on here in a while but just wanted to let you guys know that i got my motor all together and fired it up..sounds great cam break in went great motor sounds really good. Got timing all set and re adjusted valves again all loosend up a little bit not bad though..fixed a leaky water...

ok did it 3 times just to double check.... got over 0.100 clearance on both valves cut the clay down the center to look at the relation between valve and piston and it looks ok quite a bit of diffrence between them so not worried about the reliefs as for the head clearance looks to be right at...

ok not affraid to admit it had the crank gear all fucked up it was lined up but not at tdc so i took it all of turned the crank over thanks to milodons special tool love it... till #1 tcd cam gear was way off at least 180 feel stuipid about that little screw up lined it all up put the head on...

ok i have a adjustable cam gear with 3 options i think i have it straight up right now...... so should i advance or retart it??

after i took it all apart i rotated it with the lifters in and just watched the intake lifter as the piston came up and it was still open so i am thinkin its the duration thast getting

ok i clayed my cylinders this morning and have a bout 0.038-0.039 clearance for piston so i can allways get bigger gaskets to bring that up while i was in there i clayed valves on one cylinder just to check if the cam i had was going to work. i layed about a 1/4 peace of clay on both valve...

it seems ok to me too.. i am still thinking about calying just to tripple verify and if that checks out ok im going to run with it... honestly you never know for sure until you fire it up

my measurements makes sense though right just making sure

yeah me too.......i also layed the head on there with no gasket and rotated it and watched the head to see if it moved up or could hear nythign hit and i didnt rotates fine and head didnt move indicating contact..so thats good especialy since there is no gasket so that is going to add clearance...

JUST WENT OUT AND PULLED THE HEAD REMOVED THE GASKET PUT HEAD ON NO BOLTS AND ROTATED #1 BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN TDC AND NO NOISE AND HEAD DID NOT MOVE UP IN ANY WAY

so what do you think then i just went back out and put the #1 to tdc layed a straight edege acrossed and measured from that to deck at its about 0.048-0.050 witch is the dome of the piston my gasket compressed is 0.038 the head is 0.060 so that is 0.098 subtract the dome of the piston 0.050 you...

they are a domed piston 0.050 of dome

Ok So I Got Home Tonight Pulled The Head Now The Kb Pistons Dome Sticks Up 0.050 The Edelbrock Heads Are Machined With A 0.060 Clearance For The Early High Compression 34os The Head Gaskets I Have Compresed Measure 0.038 So That Is A Total Of 0.098 Of Clearance Subtract The Piston Dome Of 0.050...

Has Anybody Ran The Eddy 60179 Heads 65cc Chamber With Kb109 Pistons.....kb Says You Cant Use Eddy Heads But Are They Talking About The Closed Chamber Heads Or The Open Chamber 340 Heads

I Have The Open Chamber 340 Heads 65cc They Should Work Wiht Those Pistons Seeing As How The Older 340 Pistons Came Up Out Of The Block...

I AM PLANING ON DOING THAT SEEMS THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT AND A LITTLE EASIER THEN MEASUREING CLAY

What About Setting The Head On There Wiht No Gasket And Rotating I Have Heard Of People Doing That Because If It Doesn Hit You Knnow You Have Atlease .040 Clearance Depending On Head Gasket

I Want An Honest Openion What Would You Guys Do Head Bolt Up All Tourged Everything Rotates Freely??? Go With It?

Like I Said It Rotates Fine...... No Binding Even Rotates Ok With The Starter Nice And Free No Loud Knocks Or Thumps..

no he did not...he just said "ive done it before" big mopar guy been doing it for years so i trusted him..i mean i got it all togeter and it rotates fine no thump and doesnt hit head i cam make many revolutions with it

yes with the eddy heads 60179 and its all assembled with head gaskets and it rotates over buy hand fine no interferance

I Am Running The The Kb190 Pistons And Also The Eddy 6017 Heads Witch Are The Open Chamber 65cc Heads..i Was Told I Coudl Not Do This Because The Quench On The Piston Would Cause The Piston To Hit The Head But Its All Assembled And Rotates Freely? I Am Not To Worried About It Just Wondering If...

so can you or can you not use them with eddy heads..im concerned now because that is the set up with eddy 6017 heads witch are the 340 heads with 65 cc combustion chamber that i have and there are no clearance issues turns over buy hand just fine pistons do not it the heads so i should be ok right?
