Okay Guys, here is my konklusion based on your advice -Totally clean block and then clean it again and then one more time -New oil cooler 3X18" and earlīs sandwich oil thermostat -New Oil hose and fittings with at least 1/2"id -New crankshaft and bearings (eagle steel crank) -New rods (3/8 ) -New lifters -New Oil pump (Blueprinted) -Castrol 20/50 and add some break in additiv from crane -140* water thermostat -add oil temperatur gauge to oil pan -make sure piston freely move on wristpin I still belive I can make it spin like a *****, otherwise next time it wil see the bottom of the ocean. :p Thanks for your time :drink: You can use an Eagle crank as I did but be forwarned "Don't trust their QC". Mic ALL bearing surfaces and mic the bearings also and check clearances. My buddy has a shop and has used numerous Eagle cranks with no problems BUT he has found QC problems BEFORE the engines went togeather. Only one that ever got by him was a 302/347 Ford stroker with an out of round rear main seal surface. Leaked like a MOFO :( |
