Thanks guys! he is good people. RR

this man went out of his way to help me resolve my issue. He sent me an intake for just the shipping amt. You couldn't ask for a better man to do business with. RR

I'm probably missing something but I'd call it good! I do shoot for minimal preload & check the contact pattern

^^^ googled it & found it. cryo-tech

what triple R said, I will check the oiling points on mockup first, on my next one. RR

I will keep that in mind for next time.

from what I read on the utube chats I'm gonna need it and it is a howards cam, its just that one of the vids said that comp cams offers nitriding & hopefully that is for any cam that you send in not just for one of theirs. I'll give em a call.

these are Hughes racing hyd lifters & I do measure a crown. I will take all the prep you suggest. thanks guys. RR

will do as advised, thanks guys. RR

My bad, I posted 1.625 instead of the correct 1.265, got my numbers transposed & I think RRR nailed it!

^^^ that's good to hear. just all of the horror stories have me worried. RR

cant go roller (rules) plus its pricey. I want to have a successful breakin with failures being epidemic. been watching some utube vids & they talked about miking the lobe taper & one mentioned that comp cams can nitride a cam. what are your thoughts? thank you for your time. RR

I took the dampener diameter (7.25") times Pi (3.1416) = 22.7766" circumference. divide that by 360 gives 0.0632683" for each degree & times 20 degrees would be 1.625" around the dampener. Am I wrong on this?

if so I will goop em up like other sm blks. thank you for your time. RR

Professor fate, good comprehensive info & the pics were great. thank you, much appreciated! RR

Professor, to confirm, the hedman 78500 shorties will not fit an early A? I have a 63 A 360 with EQ iron heads (I understand the ex port is a bit different). I have a set of those hedmans not yet installed. I mocked up some magnum ex manifolds but I had to jack up the eng to clear the steering...

I'll give ray a holler. thank you. RR

this is a small block electronic dist. thank you for your time. RR

any thoughts on what was wrong with the 2pumps (pressure relief valve issue??) EDIT gear to pump cover clearance?? After what you have been thru on this I would HAVE to know. RR

(FWIW) just saw a utube vid where they opinionated that a windage tray keeps critical oil splash from the cam, critical on cam breakin. tho sure wouldn't be practical to breakin with out it then open things up & add it.

OK, the tape is tall so I might need to cut it lengthwise to shorten the height & use it one or two threads back from the start. OK to use some on the ferrule?

I am going to add an oiling gallery bypass copper tube (1/4 NPT/3/8 tubing). the guy made no mention of useing this tape but another vid swears by it for no leaks (tho it was a water pipe plumbing app). I'm a little skeptical of it as I dont want to contaminate my oil but I thought I'd ask, use...

I did use thread sealant (the 1st time, shoulda this time). I did one bolt at a time but the alum intake is wider at that point so I had to bend it outward toward the fender & this tilted the 2nd bolt hole but tightening that bolt in that hole bent the hole flush with the bolt head so all done...

yes "quite snug" is where I got em to. I will go over em again after initial running.

good comprehensive thoughts. I did goop the bolts on install. I will try & tighten the bracket with one bolt as much as I can & still be able to swing it around for the other bolt if I can. most of the bolts I couldn't get a torque wrench on so I guestimated how tight I got em (in order)so they...

that's good to hear, thanks guys!

I just put an alum intake on my 360. I didn't realize until afterward that I forgot to put the throttle bracket under the 2 bolts in the drivers rear. can I remove the bolts & finish it out or do I have to redo everything? I used permatex #2 the brown goo on the ports and RTV on the water ports...

noted & I like your meticulousness. not sure how I can get oil down on the shaft without opening it up.

OK I will undo it. While I'm in there should I reduce the end play?

I didn't soak it in the tank but I did pour a good amount of solvent into the "bowl". I remember pics of those old dists with the oil tube on the side.
