I Great tip! Mocking up with heads on, and pushrods in. The link bar buttons lose some clearance at full lift. Back to a bit more clearance grinding.

Hello All, Just wondering what minimum clearance is required between link bar ,button and pin to block would be acceptable? I'm using Comp 828-16 lifters in my 318 roller block. After grinding I can get a .015" feeler gauge all around and under the pin to block. I'm concerned about growth when...

I have small scuff on the cylinder side of the top and a small scuff on the bottom cam side. This I would expect due to lifter angle. I have not measured. I’ll check that tonight.

More street than strip. My 318 with the solid 528 Flat tappet, 3.91,3200 stall 904 28” tire ran 13.0 Last year. I was hopping for 12’s this year with the hydraulic roller. The spring pressure is 340lbs at 1.188 and close to 110 closed .

Thank you for the information. A lot of people never look for the problem that takes out parts. I read a lot about "it died and they sent me a new one". In my line of work (boilers and furnaces) most manufactures don't care about their products when it comes to operational defects or parts...

I had all pushrod holes opens up (eddy 60779). This cam was new this season. Had springs changed to meet cam card. I put about 600 miles on assembly. The lifters were sometimes a bit noisy after car sat for a week or so. All in all it worked great. I really need to watch the tach once I’m back...

A rotator might be a good idea to keep pushrod cup from staying in one place?

I was setting preload to .045" . The marks on lifter were about .070". I'll take apart another pair of good lifters once i get my new set. Just wondering if the push rod plunger rotates?

Hello everyone. Autopsy done on collapsed ( crane hydraulic roller) lifters. 3 that collapsed had markings inside lifter body ( see pics). Pushrod cup didn’t want to come out. After I got them out , I found the marks on the inner bore of the lifters on the cylinder side only not any marks on...

Who has these rivets? They are hard as hell. I used a grinder to remove rivet and washer. Then a punch to get remainder out. Do any oem use link bars?

I was a dumb ***. I went from a solid flat tappet to the hydraulic roller over last winter. All parts are Crane. I forgot to lower MSD box from 7700 rpm to 6500. I figure **** came apart at 7200 rpm. I'm now going to stick a " $ " sticker to my right foot. :(:BangHead:

How are hydraulic rollers ( retro link bar) supposed to be serviced with rivet in the way of the parts coming out? Had three collapse yesterday . I found three lifters with bent “C” clips. The only way into lifter is to remove rivet. Ya ya I know. Hydraulic lifter bad, but they are in my...

Try some lash caps. Also try a feeler gauge to see clearance hot (valves Closed). You may not have any lifter preload on a few lifters?

I have Crane 1.6 roller rockers .038" 1008 felpro If its cold enough i can run 89 , Hot days 91 octane

Sorry for the lack of participation in my own post (HVAC service is killing me). First off, id like to say that there is not one bad idea or piece of advice. This form is so full of amazing people that want to help. I say thank you. The front of the engine is coming apart over the holidays...

Thank you thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Man I thought psychometric’s were fun. I have a lot of measuring to do . Thank god it’s winter time. Is there a “go to”online for a bit more depth on your math? Thanks AJ

60 ft is soggy. 1.88-1.90 . If I can create more pumping compression at a lower rpm then the 105 would be my 12.50 ( more torque). I know small engines don’t make big torque but I do like the challenge of small displacement . The car is street driven , I’m not sure on the higher stall. Leaving...

Hello all. Running 318,30 over, KB 167 0 deck, stock length rods, stock crank (3500 miles on short block). Edelbrock 60779 heads ( not ported). 1.6 rocker arms compression ratio at 9.8:1. I was running a Mopar p#p4120653 “528” solid flat tappet cam ( it was on the shelf). Pumping hot averages...

Ding ding ding We have a winner! Would you like the Pea green 4 door or the sporty brown 2 door?

Here is t trivia question. What am I doing in this picture? First person to answer wins a new Kcar

I will send these to Mike . Thanks for the feedback. John

My geometry is very good ( I think?). My Dart ran 13.45 at 100 mph on the first outing. Like to shoot for 12.99. Thanks to all who chimed in on this . You guys make my experience in Mopar land that much better.

Yes. some were at .080". Running 4000 rpm at 65 mph had an interesting rhythm. All quiet now. The 273 arms were much quieter even at the same lash.

Thanks for the info. I tightened up the lash to .024"& .024". Mopar distributor set to 28* initial at 750 rpm ( in gear) all in 34* at 2000 rpm. The 302 heads don't like much more. Vacuum at idle (1000 rpm) is 10-11" and 6" in gear. I cured my Valve train noise. The new rocker arms had way too...

I’m going to tighten them up. You run a vacuum gauge ? If so what kind of vacuum at idle in gear you have? I also found more issue with noise this morning. The Cranes have way too much side movement. Going to order some shim rings today.

Thanks for the info. I got the cam without a card and ( I confirmed it’s the old 528 Mopar ) from what I read about this cam it’s a loose lash . Had it set to .022 & .024” and it ran great. I’ll tighten it up a bit. I’m just a bit paranoid about the solid valve train noise. The cam makes...

Running a 318 with a 528 solid cam ( iron heads) . I ran 273 rocker arms last season with great results. I went to Crane gold 1:6 rockers this year. Both 273 and Crane’s were set to .026”& .028” cold. Valve noise is now noticeable much more than the “273’s”. Is there a compensation in lash going...

That's what I was looking for. Thanks to all for the info.

Thinking about going solid roller for my 318. Also considering EQ heads. I'm not quite sure how solid lifters will feed oil to rocker arms? Is there oil provision in solid roller lifters to get oil to push rods? What is the best brand of solid roller lifters for a 350hp street engine? Thanks in...

I'm using 6003 on my 318. Mopar Tim does have a good point. Check fit close to steering box.
