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

Looks to me from the photo that the edge of the piston is protruding slightly above the deck.

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

So was the "dip" noticeable?

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.

The pump generally relieves at around 60 psi.

Re: Break-in gone wrong!

I have a fixture for testing oil pumps. I'd gladly test yours if you'd like.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Yes you do need to determine installed height and do your testing at that length.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

That is a Canadian no. In US, the basic cam number was 6250. Be interesting to find out the specs.

Re: Front seals

I have installed many 1 piece seals on my builds and have yet to have a problem, even with the stock spiral sleeve.

Re: Front seals

Was the seal installed properly? If you are not careful, the seal lip can roll under.
