Good Morning All! Well, I never made it to the stage to push the button last night and 50 plus went before me, dang! I missed my shark tooth grill delivery and signature only and having trouble changing delivery date as we are heading out of town this afternoon. Paypal has charged me 4 times and the UPS site just says "we are having technical difficulties". Fun!

Dang, don't buy a lottery ticket.

And now you can get a nice 63-65 b-body!! life will be better

Naw.. mark the pushrods and watch them like this in the video.. if they are all moving you are fine, if not.. find the issue quicker than later and worst case would be pulling it apart to clean any metal out and put back together... new cam and gasket kit..

THat was a good video. Err on the side of caution now days with cam installations. I wonder how many have problems if they assemble an engine and don't start it for 6 months?

Sounds soo good

Ha ha yeah. I also have to pick up meds before our trip, wife can't get so emailed boss for day off, hate that late notice crap. Packed too much crap in a short period of time, I'm sure it will work out somehow tho

Gets right up and goes doesn't it, nice!

Roller Rockers? Yes. Roller Lifters? No. As mentioned the profile is wrong. Roller lifters shouldn't turn/rotate like a flat tappet needs to

Good catch, yeah roller lifters is what I meant .

 

[dukeboy440]

Think I’ll just send it. See what happens. Then if something happens, it happens. I built this thing so there’s no guarantee it even fires anyway lol

 

[toolmanmike]

Good catch, yeah roller lifters is what I meant .

Roller cam lobes are flat for the roller lifters. Hydraulic and solid flat tappet cams are tapered. That teemed with the crown on the lifter face makes them rotate.

Just ran into a bit of live racing from europe... i didn't know the FIA (they do WRC) also does drag racing

 

[Icetech]

Nope, I wish. He's a young little sniffer!

 

[Icetech]

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

I just want to go driving

 

[toolmanmike]

I just want to go back to sleep!

 

[Icetech]

I just want to go driving

I LOVE the drag strip.. even just going to watch for a few hours is fun.. i don't know anyone, let alone anyone into cars so i never go anywhere pretty much

 

[Icetech]

I want to go back to sleep!

Bah.. the day starts at 6am!! get up and get moving!

 

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

Burning daylight as my father would say

 

[toolmanmike]

Same with me but no thunder. The day before I overslept. 10 hours total. Haven't slept that long in months. Now last night, asleep at 11 and awake at 4. I hate that. I can see a nap after lunch today.

I do need to switch a few cars around today. Only have 1 battery so move 1 out then switch battery then move the other 1 out. Then repeat to put back in. Taking 64 Fury to a show Sun
