It's going to turn out like Thelma and Louise
But the lifters and camshaft will be in the trunk.

tim,maybe you should take a drive to chicago and buy him dinner&beers,LOL.i think he likes pizza&miller lite.

Tech section is definitely a benefit to many including myself. However with that said I learned over 30 plus years of building engines that if your gonna take it upon yourself to do your own builds try and learn from the best and stick with one person who kinda takes you under his wing so to speak. I was fortunate. During those days I had a guy not far away that was your local gear head so to speak. I remember riding my bike over to watch and help when allowed. I stuck with his ways and learned a lot. Every build would be built above and beyond the engines potential taking extra percaution everywhere. Absolutely no shortcuts. No where. over the years you meet different people and friends with different opinions and ways but that's ok. When it comes to assm I go back to who I learned from. Thats just about every kind of hobbie engine you can come up with. I have machine/speed shop do near 80% of my work. Assembly is the easy part but even then each part gets cleaned inspected and recleaned. I'm a fanatic when it comes to that.

Ok the only thing I haven't said is I'm still riding a bike but now I wear football helmet. Lol.

Btw Tim I know the question was raised a few times know but what are your lifter bore sizes. I know you said they were fine but when you think of it please post actual measurements.

He tried, they carded him..... lol

dude,90% of this thread has been bs.

How about the time Joe B took you and I to Culvers for lunch. I sit down and open my burger, no fuking meat on there!!! Just bread. I knew times were tough for Joe B, but I didn't know it was that bad.

Im actually really quiet and go to AA meetings...

i do remember,that was the day i took the bread off to ad some mustard and noticed my burger had double meat,LOL.joe b was broke that day because i gave him his bill.

hey,,have we gone after the oil pump yet,,it could be holding up the cam shaft at times.I vote for dry sumping these engines.
