That seems like a pretty cool software package, is it expensive

Not really. I have prob around 300-400 invested in these software programs.

The latest camshaft software , can really demonstate head velocity characteristics, by adjusting valve size, throat size, valve lift, etc.

Sure seems like you'll have a fun reliable boat. Nice looking also. Appears you have all your ducks in a row. Just keep an eye for any reversion.

Oh my !

You caught it right before I went back and edited it. I thought I got away with it. Guess not. Oops

Was hoping to post some dyno results by now but had a little scare Monday morning. They called me and said 3 holes had 0 compression and 5 had 160 lbs. Not the best way to start off your Monday morning. So finally yesterday I found out 3 of the lifters were pumped up or something and were keeping the valves open. I have been cringing at what I had done wrong or I had bent valves for some reason. I probably turned this engine over by hand a few dozen times just checking things. The lifters were the Howards 91162 which I believe are the Morels just re-branded? These are the .750 roller hydraulic race version. Now I have never ran a hydraulic cam has anyone ever had this happen before? I live in Sparks with a Summit so my wife was able to go and exchange them for a brand new set as the motor is on the dyno. That was a positive.

is it okay now, maybe the valve lash was off

Just got news motor is running great and they are breaking it in now as we speak. Hope to get some information this afternoon.

Well just got the numbers and am very happy with the outcome. 621 peak HP and 670 peak torque.

Nice numbers. Its a stump puller.
