I’ve been away from the hobby for a long time and watching your videos teaches me a lot and refreshes my memory. Keep’m coming and looking forward to a visit to your shop.

Very good adjustment video Joe! Can you tell me what was special about the rocker arm shafts? Better oiling or better Rockwell hardness or both?

@JustMoparJoe

Жыл бұрын

I believe it is hardness. Mine had trails worn in by the rollers. These were much heavier wall too.

@@JustMoparJoe I'm getting antsy to see that motor on the Dyno.

When I put my engine together I went ahead and got pushrods that had through the pushrod oiling in them. I believe the Howard's lifters already oil through the lifter because they also fit American Motors cars. I have seen many cup style pushrods overheat because of lack of oiling, hopefully you will not have this issue. I did not see any lack of oil pressure due to this and can see no downside. I don't think there is a ton of oil going to the top of the motor with this modification

@JustMoparJoe

Жыл бұрын

Thanks, Thomas. I’ve heard of guys fearing that oil would flood the top end with the hollow pushrods and rocker shaft oil. I think it’s a wives tale. I also saw online that some were trying a spray bar in the valve covers like the Indy valve covers hadZ

About 10 minutes in the camera shows what appears to a pretty bad mismatch between the intake and head angles. Just an optical illusion I hope.

@JustMoparJoe

Жыл бұрын

No illusion at at. Just bad casting. When the intake is spun 180 degrees, the mismatch swapped sides. Fortunately I matched the intake port windows with an endoscope before bolting it down. Thanks for your concern.
