The Engine Build

Sometimes even Pistons need to lay down and sleep
They need to catch some beauty sleep, she's a long road ahead.

Injectors pump arrived today. Thanks to Torrie and the New Tune is sitting, or standing, in my laptop ready to plug into the Obewan Kenobe Port

Nice , those are pertty teef you got there .. Just wait till they spit out the toof paste with Torries Tune ..
 
Getting there.
The cam was degreed and found only .5 a degree out. Can't complain about that.
Valve to piston clearance checked. Plenty good.
The pushrods are a smidge long to get the roller pattern in the middle of valve stem. So instead of 7.600" we will use 7.500" which gave us the exact roller pattern on the valve stem.
It is starting to look very serious.

Very nice!!!
 
Ronnie was right 7.600" pushrods are too long, but 7.400" is also too short.
That is why I have my engine man check every detail.
