    1.6 ratio BB

    yes on all the above. going to 1.6 is supposed to be worth 10-20 HP depending on rest of build. 1.5 to 1.6 adds approx 3 degrees duration at .05 lift, so then check the "intensity" by subtracting the new .05 duration from seat duration. Don't want the result to be smaller than Voodoo/CompXE...

    360 magnum with chevy roller rockers

    here is photo of chevy roller tip rockers on EQ magnum heads, had to use ford/olds rocker studs (CompCAm part). If your looking for more valve lift this is one way to get it and still keep seat duration shorter for good street manners.

    To retorque or not to retorque? That is the question.

    I have worked as an ASE certified dealership mechanic since the 1970's. At that time the "factory" required a cylinder head retorque at 1000 miles. Since then I have noticed ALL cylinder heads can benefit from a retorque; regardless aluminum or cast iron, and regardless of "permatorque"...

    Lunati cam bearing journal problems

    I wish I had, but the block came from a lineup sitting on the floor. I talked with Lunati, They said that they buff all their cam journals to chamfer the oil holes in the journals. Next week I'll compare journal diameter data to Lunatis data to the cam journals and phone Lunati back with the...

    Lunati cam bearing journal problems

    I did install the cam and new bearings together. I had a high volume oil pump in the engine at the time and was suprised how quickly the oil pressure dropped to zero each time the engine was shut down. Good comments from the other responses about cam bearing bore diameters. As you say there...

    Lunati cam bearing journal problems

    Here is the note I sent to Lunati, have not heard back from them yet. In the second photo the wear on the bearings was concentrated in the lower half of each bearing; basically the lifters were pushing the cam down into the bearings. I have a small block Mopar 360 that had a Lunati H215 cam in...

    New Edy heads, poor quality control what to do

    Pictures of the problems is a good idea. As said Summit is good about returns. I'm not sure if they will go thru boxes to find two good ones. I could also get $$ back from Summit, and check around, see if MRL or such has a set or access to good sets, have them prep them. More $$ but at least...

    New Edy heads, poor quality control what to do

    Just received new Edel RPM LA heads assembled from Summit. Boy is the quality control lacking. Exhaust guide locations clear off the formed pad in the roof of the port, so you see the guide all the way down to the port roof itself. Also all the exh ports are offset to the left on BOTH heads vs...
