Roll pin question??
Published (2010-03-13 09:07:00)
I did the couple front cover mods and grooved cam bearings when I put it together a couple years ago. Do you think thats enough to throw a stock pump back on it? I didnt do anything to the block.

high torque starter question

You still use the starters solenoid, so you are only making another "swich" for the battery amperage to go through. IMO- you are just wasting $45.00

which head gaskets with boost?
Published (2010-03-09 09:32:00)
Here's an update in case anybody is interested: Mike at TA filled me in on how important it is to retorque the orange crush gaskets properly (I retorqued but did not break loose prior). So I tear the engine down and find something else quite disturbing. It blew a big chunk out of the head, between cylinders 5 and 7. like 1/2" deep by 3/4" wide!! I attached a picture. Not sure where to go from here but I'm afraid it's...

6.535 connecting rods
Published (2010-03-16 19:38:00)
I was thinking about what I posted, I should have said Pin Height instead of Compression height. Is a 6.535 a BBC rod length? I know for my 470ci, I have aluminum 7 inch BBC rods, and the pin height i'm pretty sure is lower than a stock BBB piston. Gary G.

My mechanic is talking about using the 6.535 inch big block chevy rods on
an offset ground crank. What is the plus and minuses of this. I would like
to know before I go and purchase the rods.

I was about 4000rpm in a holeshot last season when my car backfired and died. I got it back to the shop and couldnt get it to start when I realized when troubleshooting the roll pin sheared. The gear was still meshed with the cam and on the oil pump shaft but a couple pieces of the pin are still missing. I drained the oil and nothing. Im trying to avoid pulling the front cover off, is there any ...

I've been contemplating this, and hopefully someone can shed
some light on this for me. Question 1: Is it possible to enlarge the lifter
bore diameter (while reinforcing the block area) to run a larger
BB Ford or Chrysler tappet? Reason being, with a wider lifter, a more aggressive (higher lift) cam lobe profile could be ground onto a Buick cam core, while keeping overall cam duration ...

Hi Guys,
Anybody know of a high torque starter alternative to TA's $500 pieces? I have hot start issues due to the typical performance motor mods / relatively aggressive timing at idle.
I tried a heat shield that helped a little but not much.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi guys,
i just blew a head gasket between #5 & #7, it was a detroit orange crush, TA studs, and accurately torqued exactly as per TA instructions. Block has the extra 4 studs along the exhaust side. I'm running boost but never had it above about 8 psi (although I intend to run more, how much depends on real world advice from folks). Anybody had luck with TAs copper head gaskets with the ...
