    LS engines are notorious for windage problems, with the cross bolt main cap design. And the skirted black with the crank tucked so fare up into the crank case it makes it very difficult to run any kind of decent crank scraper. imagine a haze of oil wrapped around the crankshaft even at lower RPMs. and the pistons going up and down oil’s gotta go somewhere.

    I just did the comp cams pushrod length check on mine. Ls7 lifters with a Howard’s rattler cam. The 7.400 was a bit long and held the intake and exhaust valves open. Motor tan but was rich as hell. I swapped to the 7.350 and the valves are now closing all the way

    Ya i am seeing this video again 3 years later but a resistor doesn't realy change voltage it limits current and if the current is high the voltage will drop but going with a set voltage isn't really the play i am sure you could use an arduino to check the voltage and very the voltage to the alternator for the load but a set voltage probably isn't the answer

    You got me working on some 862s. Been watching your vids for some time now. Only thing I’m hung up on now is valve lengths. Wanted to order some 2.00 intake valves and standard exhaust but noticed the different lengths in the aftermarket intake and exhaust valves. Kind of don’t want to use different size pushrods but what is your take on that?

  • @HeadFlowInc
    @HeadFlowInc17 күн бұрын

    It depends on your application, I now know not to trust the entry level stainless steel valves with boost after seeing Ryan’s Ranger killed a set. I guess I’ve never worried about the stem lengths, most manufacturers only offer a few lengths for the LS heads. Try to get a stem length equal to or slightly longer than the factory length so you can shim to achieve the proper install height for the valve springs. Most valves only vary maybe .015”-.020” between the different manufacturers. I highly recommend setting your lifter preload by verifying the needed pushrod length. Manufacturing variances in cam base circle and pushrod cup depth in the lifters can change pushrod length. I have a video on my channel on setting pushrod length using the adjustable pushrod tool. JD

    @@HeadFlowInc thanks for your input. I'm definitely curious about the stainless situation as that was my plan with the next set of 862s on a turbo 5.3 that I'll be doing after this NA 6.0 build. But yes I just literally dug out my stock valves and they are reading 4.869 intake and 4.920 ex. My old exhaust values are pitted kind of bad in my opinion and was looking to step up to an 2.00 intake valve with a valve job. Didn't want to buy pushrods yet cause I'm not sure if my machine guy is gonna want to surface them in addition to running a .041 head gasket. And yes I watched your vid on finding pushrod length. I can't wait to send the heads off to the machine shop so I can finish porting and chamber mods. Again thank you for your input and vids. They have helped and encouraged me quite a bit

    About 45 or 50 years ago we used to call that a 3 to 5 angle cut on the valves. Add on the face of the valve, if you left the valve absolutely flat you wouldn't be taking out compression ratio which you lose as much as you're gaining in flow rate. Why are you taking out compression ratio for the sake of hoping you're getting a little bit better flow rate? And you will get better flow out of three angle valve job, you'll get better flow if you change your entire valve angle to 30° then you will leaving it at 45 degrees

  • @HeadFlowInc
    @HeadFlowIncАй бұрын

    Not factual wives tail. You only gain/loss +- 4% power/torque for a FULL number of compression; ie 9.0-1 to 10.0-1 I guarantee you would never see the difference in power from cutting the edges of the valves from lost compression, that is simply false. But picking up 3-5 cfm will show a change. JD

    Using the M295HV on a fresh rebuilt engine with DOD/AFM the engine showed as low as 5psi oil pressure in idle. Some glitter was observed on the oil. The person who rebuilt the engine did not aligned the pump properly and there was visible wear on the gears. The pump was replaced with another M295HV which was aligned properly, however the idle oil pressure is still around 5psi at stable operating temperature. Is the M295HV not the adequate pump for 5.3 Gen4 engine with DOD/AFM?
