I finally finished my engine build and I am happy with how it runs and over all performance. The only issue I have is the lifters get a little noisy once the engine warms up and the oil thins out. I have tried different types of oil, 10-39, but no difference. I have hughes roller lifters Hughes...

Well here I am asking for help yet again. I am measuring for push rods but I am not sure where the set screws on he rockers should be to get the correct length. Currently I have them set all the way in and the average measurement with is 6.75" or 171 mm. This is on a hrd roller lifters in a 340...

I need to change the gear on the oil pump shaft to a bronze gear. I bought the bronze gear from comp and a new shaft from summit with the original gear. I tried to take the gear off the shaft and put the bronze on the new shaft. I had to drill a hole through the pin that holds the gear on but I...

I was told by a guy at my local speed shop that because I upgraded to a hyd roller cam, I will need to use a different type of timing gear and chain. I have never heard of this before. Is this true? I was planning on using a new stock style chain and gears. Any thoughts?

I remember reading a thread about one of the 3 bolts that hold the cam thrust plate in place has a hole in it to lubricate the timing chain. I have 3 bolts but none of them has a hole in it. Do I need this bolt, and if not how does the timing chain get oil?

I have finally got my block back from the machine shop and I was hoping to assemble it but it seems one of the lifter bores is chamfered more than the rest and oil groove on the hydraulic roller lifter peeks out the top of the lifter bore. I am not sure what is the best thing to do so hopefully...

Hi all. Still working on getting all the parts together for my 340. I am in need of some info for he correct oil pump. I was thinking I would use a high volume low pressure pump and wanted to know if I need to use a bigger oil pan or could I still use the factory pan. Thanks

I am planning to use the edelbrock 7576 intake and was wondering if anyone has used this on a 340 Duster with a standard hood? I am concerned if I will have problems with it being to high when the hood is closed. I do not want to cut out my hood to make room for the air cleaner. I am using a...

I am going to re-build my 340 and would like some info. The engine is mostly stock except for a 650 cfm edelbrock carb and 360 "J" heads. I am not looking for crazy power, just a few more horses with a nice smooth cam lope sound, if that makes any sense. I know there are guys here that are a...

Is it possible to tell the difference between a high and low compression piston by looking at them?

I know there is alot of smarter guys out there then me so I am hoping maybe someone can tell me why I keep getting lifter noise at start up. I put in a new set of comp lifters and cam (hydraulic). I soaked the new lifters for 24 hrs. before i installed them but I did not change the push rods or...
