Got an e-mail from Tim...the valves are still backorderd so he is going to take some other ones and machine them down from 2.19 to 2.15...looks like it is still on track to be shipped near the end of Sept.

Thanks for the update Duncan...good to hear Tim has your back.

 

[DNFXDLI]

Talked to Tim last night...we finalized the CR at 11.44:1 which will yield about 9.2 dynamic with around 220-225# compression. He has been backlogged with work and some equipment issues. The pistons will have a 14cc dish machined into them. I'll be calling later next week for another update.

 

[LEB Ben]

Sweet Duncan...are those pistons the hypers he shows with a 14cc dish...or are these some how a custom job?

Ya know, I've never asked...I am going to assume they are a custom piston as he adjusts the dish size to suit the CR with whatever head is ued.

That could be arranged!

I can't remember what kinda cam you said you were getting is it big and sloppy

 

[DNFXDLI]

Actually just having an e-mail chat with him right now....a roller cam and roller rockers...and a possible tie bar system for a .600 lift and 225/235 ish duration.

Here ya go, from page 1:

Cam will be in the .600 lift with 225ish and 235ish duration...I don't know the final specs yet.

I remember some body saying that roller cams in these engines were a bad idea, but I can't remember if it was these engines or big blocks.. Hmm...

Probably bad info...these engines and BBF's can both use rollers and more than definitely do. Rollers offer more reliability, power and longevity.

 

[TexasNomad]

I remember now, it was some dude named Kris? he said it about BBs some thing about the angle of the heads some thing or other..

These days I dont know what is good or bad info, I get told so many different conflicting thing from so many people engine builders people on forms articles in magazines tv show car shows, most of the time it goes in one ear and out the other.
