    What to use an extremely narrow LSA cam in?

    I was digging though my stash of cams for a spare parts build and found an odd one. I could visually tell the lobes had quite a bit of lift so I didn't even bother but I did throw it in the v blocks to get some specs on it. Looks like it's a 250/245 duration at .050" tried to get duration at...

    Stock rocker shaft oil hole orientation

    Just noticed one 2 different sets of rocker shafts, the oiling holes and orientation notches are completely different. Whats up with this? Seems like the rocker shaft on the right is drilled completely wrong as the wear pattern is completely offset from the oil hole. Could the shaft on the...

    Which rocker arms would you run?

    I've got a pretty mild solid roller 340 and a few different set of rockers i can run on it. The cam is a comp 288r solid roller. Currently it has a set of 1.5 harland sharp full rollers on it, one adjuster snapped and that led me to find out the roller tips are also out of round and the shafts...

    Forged crank in 69 318???

    Cracked open a pretty virgin looking 318 today. Found out that it has a forged crank in her. Does not look to have had the bottom end rebuilt, bearings have 68 date codes, has silent type cam chain, stock bore, and cast pistons. Busted open lots of 318's and this is the first i've seen with a...

    Wrongly manufactured rocker shafts?

    Got a pair of rocker shafts, one pair is obviously not right. The set on the left came out of a 68 340 and the set on the right out of a 66 273. You can see the feed holes on the left pair are drilled correct and in the middle of the wear area. The set on the left has the holes drilled...

    Broken harland sharp adjuster?

    Was driving to work when i felt the 340 go down a cylinder and at a stop light i could really hear it tapping away. At first i thought one of the solid roller lifters took a massive dump but when i pulled the valve cover i found: harland sharp wants around 50 bucks for 4 adjusters...

    What would this old cam be good for?

    Got an old solid flat tappet cam that i found, the cam card specs are 296/300 @ .012" 250/244 @ .050" .375"/.344" Lobe Lift .017"/.018" Hot Lash w/1.5 rockers 105 LSA that would this cam be good for? Seems real weird on the duration and lifts. Its also got a real tight lsa. Would probably...

    My 340 build and pump gas questions

    I just got around to calculating my actual static and dynamic compression ratios, looks like ill be sitting right at 10.42 static compression and 7.61 dynamic.... i thought the dynamic compression sounds a little low but i checked and rechecked things and it all computes like that. Little info...

    2nd ring end gap with KB hypers?

    I have heard that some now use a larger 2nd ring gap so trapped gasses can escape into the crank case instead of unseating the top ring.... dunno if its true but the sealed power moly rings i had before filing had a top gap of about .019" and a 2nd ring gap of .022". I filed the top rings to...

    Are ARP head bolts really needed for a mild build?

    I'm building a pretty mild .060 over 340, kb243's, h beams, ported j's w/ stainless valves, chambers at 66cc, .550 lift solid roller, around 10.5:1 comp 4 speed, 3.9 gears. Planning to spin it to about 7k at the most. I'm not one to cheap out on things like fasteners, but after looking at the...

    Piston and con rod dilemma

    Not to sure what i should do about the pistons and rods in my .60 over 340. I currently have a set of l2316 forged trw's and stock bushed rods, i just found out the top ring lands in all the pistons are wore out and you can stick a 8 thou feeler in between the ring and piston :-x For fun i...

    What head gasket to run on a .60 over 340?

    I pulled the heads on my 340 and realized i have a .060 over block. The fire rings were basically in the bores! Looked around on summit but the larger diameter gaskets were like 66 dollars a piece !:thumbdow: No can do! Anyone run into this?

    J heads on a early 340?

    I thought early 340's were supposed to be x heads? I just aquired this 340 for a project of mine, i was hoping for 2.02 inch x heads, but they are J heads on a 68 block. Chance that it has 2.02 intake valves in it? The motor is very original. Never been apart. I did notice that the...
