Re: Here’s a whole ‘nother question

This is wrong information, No need to plug anything when removing the pushrod from an early engine. 8BAs had a small hole in the bushing,

Re: Pictures after head swap (hot rod content)

I know the screens that come from Speedway are extremely restrictive.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

This would explain why you are getting such tight clearances. I don't know that I have ever had that happen in one of my engines. Perhaps the block has been decked?

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Those Merc heads don't look to me like they have ever been milled. Do your pistons protrude above the deck at all at the edge?

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

On my pump test stand, I have a valve to shut off flow and test relief valve pressure. I restrict the flow to 40 psi back pressure and check flow rate. Typically 1.5 gpm.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

The ones on the left is what i am familiar with. Don't think I've ever run across the ones on the right in all of the engines I have disassembled.

Re: NOS 8RT camshaft

In this case the follower is the lifter. i use an adjustable lifter and set it so the valve is off the seat.

Re: NOS 8RT camshaft

I imagine that due to the diameter of the lifter, it does not see that dip.
