[QUOTE]Originally posted by wilit: [QB] More progress on the slowest engine build in history. :p Today I did a PTV check. Finally got the head studs I've been waiting for. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xlmEgQn.jpg[/IMG] Got the head bolted down (hooked air compressor to it, but not in the pic) and swapped out the valve springs for checker springs. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ti08IQi.jpg[/IMG] Stole some of my kid's playdough to check the piston to valve clearance. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hyDZTSK.jpg[/IMG] I've got my solid roller lifters in place, did a quick preliminary check on the pushrod length using my homemade adjustable pushrods. Set the rockers to zero lash and turned over the engine two complete revolutions. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rTGOmQY.jpg[/IMG] After pulling the head off, I realized I stuck the playdough on the wrong side of the piston. D'oh. All set up for attempt number two. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hp3GmfO.jpg[/IMG] Here's the result. Not even worth measuring. The intake didn't even make a dent and the exhaust barely made an indentation. If you add the extra .040" for the head gasket, there's more than enough PTV clearance. The cam is a Comp 35-302-8. Specs are 220/224 @ .050" duration with .512"/.533" max lift. The cam is installed retarded 4° [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/M8N70lq.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
