Wow i thought the piston top were going to look like them valves.......Blows my theory out of the water.

Piston skirts are hammered!

nope.. I'm just giving you some good advice.
 
Cuda-jeff the new machinest-did a spring tension check and surmised that the springs are the cause of the cracked valves - although 3 of the pistons show contact with the heads . but yes the skirts were a rubbing the walls.steve
 
Terrible situation, but I just have to ask. With all this damage was there no noise from the get-go before it let-go? That thing shoulda been making one helluva racket.
 
Yea if it had mufflers - dedicated drag car =open headers BUT on his dyno he should have noticed the pistons slapping cause all the noise is outside on a dyno
 
I think your going to have to head over to Moparts and show what you have found. If he's cocked up , then he needs to come to the party and assist in making things right.
 
Bakerlite-agreed-i have texted - phoned-facebooked-i gave him 2 weeks to come clean and either helps us or return some of the money but no reply at all-asked for cam card so we dont have to spend the money to get it checked but NOTHING nada from him, u think he would save a little face , i even invited him into my facebook post to rebute my allegations but all he did was block me on the dunnuck racing facebook page
 
Guess we just have to wait and see what happens..
 
The reason I asked about lifters and pushrods because if they are designed for pushrod oiling, then you are pushing oil up there through them, and up through the passages to the rocker shafts. All that means is a lot of oil not going to the lower end. The old setup would have had the passages in the shaft oiling plugged, relying on the pushrods to oil. By opening the shaft oiling holes they added more "leaks" to the oil system.

I've heard of Dannuck but never dealt with them. It does surprise me that so many basics would be missed as he's been around for years and years. One, maybe two one could chalk up to human mistake. What you have is built with plenty of ignorance. I wonder if he farmed the work out for whatever reason.
 
Moper never had oiling thru the push rods-the car had spray bars never needed to oil thru push rods or block cause the spray bars do it all, its when he went to "stock oiling all this happened, the lifter bores are bushed hence "no"oil gets into the lifter and up thru the push rods-spray bars eliminate the nedd for any other oiling-steve
 
He told me half way thru the build that "barton"had wierd oil restrictions in the block "but" we had zero bearing issues and zero oil pressure problems "before" he touched the block, look Barton made a stock stroke 365 motor that made 580hp with cast iron heads, let me see one of the present day builders do that.For Dunnuck to mess with what was a solid running motor is absurd, all we asked for was a ring and bearing re fresh which really wasn't needed.
 
This is all behind us , i want to move forward with as many suggestions as i can get here, the block was sonic checked and is good to go 60 over, that should be done this week.then om doing Hughes engines oiling mods, opening up the galleys to the mains.

....hasn't posted over there since February.
 
....so the top end was solely oil via the spray bars? No shaft oiling? Find that interesting since the W8 mills I have both have had spray bar oiling, but that was for cooling the valve springs from my understanding.
 
guess I did have a friend that had an Indy -1 with that set up. just hadn't really heard of it being done on a small block for some reason. Most seem to be traditional shaft or push rod oiled. Where were the bars plumbed to?

Thanks a bunch!!!!
I printed it out, stapled it together, and pinned it on my wall!

Vary well wrote! always had a hard time differentiating between them two terms.
 
U use a tee off the back port (where your gauge taps in) the -3 lines to the spray bars (i have pics here if u look back a page) my new engine builder uses spray bars on all his circle track motors cause its tried and true, he likes that it cools the springs-more important in circle track than drags but hey it worked
 
Aj-tried that link 3 times comes up nothing dont know what im doing wrong thanks
 
I tried it just now. link is good. Info in it is excellent.
