What bearing manufactures do most people run for 0.006" clearances? Joe
Nitro Mas, Thanks for the link to Spud's calculator it will be a big help in the future. I agree the best thing is to get my system flowed....
Please help with my base line tune on my 565 ci BBC. This is what I have: Big M Dart block; 11.1 cr; 14-71 HH Littlefield roots blower;...
Blownfever, That's a lot of overdrive. You might not see the change you are looking for due to blower heating of the air with a roots. I would...
jeff/21, Sorry man. It sounds like the cam stopped first and then caused the rest of the mess.
Well if you do the math and assume 15 psi boost turning 8000 rpm I get 1795 HP for the 504 in3 and 1551 HP for the 438 in3 engine. Joe
What is your piston-to-head clearance. Is there any signs of hitting the head? Just thinking out loud. Joe
It's a Cheyenne jet. I don't intentionally use the rev limiter, I hit it only at the start for about a second. I replaced my loader and lowered...
Anybody using them? Pros and Cons.
MKR-588, Below are the numbers that were used to arrive at the initial bob weight: Piston, Pin & buttons = 1154 Recip. rod = 269 Rings = 57...

The most common cause for a drop in oil pressure is the oil filter. If water get into a paper oil filter it will impend the flow. Use a good...
WANNABE you are right; however, I replaced the bearings after the detonation. It's any ones guess on the rods. I boxed up all the debris and the...
Yes, in the beginning of tuning, I detonated the motor with too much advance, 37 deg. I'm using a 44 mag and I have been told with that mag the...
I'm using heavy Venola aluminum rods and pistons. The motor runs around 7800 rpm with 20# of boost. Thanks guys for the input.
I broke my BBC Big-M block; #7 and #8 rods left after 57 passes on the rods. I am now pursuing a new block with same setup; 10.2 deck and 4.600...
Why are you guessing just check the coil bind?
What hull are running, jet, flat, or hydro? Also, you will need a capsule. Joe
