I know they were built with out V/S seals , But I always machine & run seals on the Intakes As for as what viscosity oil for you to run , Idk , without knowing your valve to guide clearances , etc...Sorry.

Andy, The more oil clearance you have, the thicker the viscosity needed, The tighter clearances require thinner viscosity.

Just to add....Your oil viscosity is relevant to your bearing oil clearances! What are those clearances?

No Valve stem seals??

Depends on the cylinder block casting number.... But as Will mentioned above , there are to different bolt patterns for the cam thrust plate

All roller cams must have an anti walk retainer

I've had great luck with Lucas additives in transmissions & gear boxes ....

Now all you need is a 383 Andy !

Just to add to Andy's comment..... It is not just the increase in power , you also have much less wear & tear on the valve train , & you don't have to worry about adding zinc additives like with flat tappet cams!

I believe so ...Yes

1987

Excellent !

Thanks Steve !! Nothing makes me happier than a Happy customer !... Hi to your Son!

Well done Andy !! Enjoy....

Hope you feel better as well Steve !

Bet you are glad that's over with Andy !

L(L...^^^^ I can tell you from experience Ford's Plastic intake manifolds are a real piece of sh** !!

Now that is funny !!!!

Just be glad it's a Chevy FORD parts are even worse.....

Can't you simply get the proper pulley for your new pump?

Looks Saweet Mat !

16mm is .629

Hello Steve !!!! How ya been Sir !

What is the outside diameter of your new pump shaft , as opposed to your old pump shaft? Any signs of wear on the pulley itself?

Filing rings is easy..... Up until you wear your fingers to the bone

I'm not worried ;)
BTW..... It looks great Bill !

Cool Video..... Thanks for the share !!

Sounds great & a lot of fun... Except for setting up your valve train geometry & lift......That takes time with shaft mounted rockers!

Whats your calculated comp.ratio ?

Nice build there Bill !! what no nitrous?

Happy Anniversary J3 !!!!! I wish I still had my C4.

There is definitely a lot of crap parts out there these days ! I see it all the time in the engine biz....

Wow !!! Slight difference there......What a waste of time, glad you got it figured out.

Thanks for the info Guru's , he is still trying to sell the car , apparently no luck selling it yet....

So have you figured out what the problem is yet Andy ?

Both C4's same engine right ?

Quote: I'm lost LOL

Is there that big a difference between a 95 and a 96 ?? I thought they were the same!

I made him an offer $6500. waiting for his response... I ran a carfax, all good.. As far as maintenance, I know what to look for.... If he takes it fine, if not, I will continue my search......But this car is so clean !!

Thank's Guru's for the input......I'll give this some thought....I'm leaning on just buying 1 here in So Cal instead .!

He is asking 8500... but then there will be shipping costs of about 900.

I'm looking at a 1995 Vette , great condition , auto trans , has 111,000 miles on it !!! Question is what is a good price to offer him on this Vette? My biggest concern is the car is coming from Washington , and I'm concerned about smog issues in Cali...... Any input would be greatly appreciated !!!!

Maybe Jack has one ? Did you check with him??

Andy... If it is bent , discard it......It's tinsel strength is gone......This sounds like a T/O bearing or press. plate issue.... Without seeing it IDK> Good luck !

R.I.P. !

Happy Birthday Matt!

You may use a cylinder head as a template too.
