[ATTACH=CONFIG]535793[/ATTACH]I think if you are running vacuum on your engine you might run into starving your valve guides of oil. I am running 15" of vacuum with dry sump pump on my engines and I sealed off the lifter valley from the crank case so the valve guides don't get starved has a pick up in the lifter valley for oil. Are you running piston oilers? Might want to have them to keep the pistons cool since there will be less oil splash.

The rod/ crank angle doesn't bother me a bit. The piston speed scares the piss out of me. When I tore it down this time if I felt there was going to be any issue from the 4.750 crank I would have changed it. But it looked better than a 598 with a 6.635 rod in it so we are going to go with it despite the peanut gallery that has never built one b4.
