Well saturday is the big day ( i think ) now since this motor has already been broken in thanks to Omar should i add any additives to the oil. What im doing is running it for 20 minutes to get it to op temp and then flushing the oil out to add the good stuff. Valvoline VR1 20-50

Im using Rotella 15-40 to flush with

I had to order a oil priming tool and dizzy shim kit so that should be here tomorrow i hope.. I think i have it all ready to go

If it has a COMP cam in it, it might be a good idea to put their cam additive at oil change. Thats what I da as per COMP's instructions.

Throw some cam lube in there anyways, we call it cheap insurance.

Go start it already!!! And give us a video... The anticipation is killing us, let alone you... Good luck! Hurry back, too.

We have learned over the last couple of years that there is no zinc in the oil anymore.Reason being is that most all new motors are roller cam systems,The lack of zinc in oil on flat tappet cams will chip the edges of the lobes,get into the oil pump,and thoroughly destroy your new motor from top to bottom.Lucas break in oil is readily available,or Brad Penn Oil,Made in the old Kendall Factory,yes its still green.Both of these are known to work to avoid the problem

Steve..didja get this thing fired

Didja "get it wet" yet? Let us know....

« **Reply #234 on:** April 18, 2009, 11:03:53 AM »

Anybody ever hear of using aircraft oil? Racing oils should all contain zinc compounds among other "controlled" addatives.

Nope, but I'm sticking with the Joe Gibbs stuff. yeah, a buck twenty five or so a case, but my engines cost a LOT more than that!

Just my .02

I just got my boat fired last sat and im showing 10-15 psi on my fuel guage.... So i guess i put on the wrong fuel pump ,im running a Edelbrock mech pump and i thought it was only gonna put out about 7-8 psi.

So i can get a regulator and have to re'plumb my fuel line or just get a new Holley fuel pump that needs no reg and is good for 6 1/2 - 8 psi...

But will that Holley feed my 850 annular carb at 4-5000 rpm's ?

Im ready to go get this done , but don't want to make the wrong choice..

Jim had a bypass line to go to his fuel tank, looked simple enough to plumb, you should ask him. I think it went straight off the back of the fuel rail, and then just had a little ball spring one way valve.

We discussed that but remember , he has one tank.. My tanks are plumbed together so that set up wont work...

Im gonna look for a reg, it will give me more options down the road

Easiest and best way Steve. Remember, bullet proof!, lol

But, and just thinking out loud, which is dangerous, with a regulator are you not stuffing the pump? You're talking about cutting it's flow nearly in half. Again, just thinking, WTFDIK?

I used to run both tanks into a T and then into the filter and then into the pump then into the regulator at 7 lbs or so.
Never any issues.

Im running the same way minus the reg...

I did some diggin and the Edelbrock fuel pump im running turns out to be a race pump ( high volume )
I dont need no stinking race pump........

Just ordered a new pump and goodies from summit, boat will be running again by friday

Funny thing. The Holley pump was $109 at Checkers here in town , but the same pump with the summit name on it was only $49

I got everything shipped for under a hundo

So ill be back!!!!!

Steve, I've been following your post and noticed that you were recently having all kinds of fuel pressure issues. I have a Holley Fuel Pressure Regulator that I don't need. Not sure if you still need one or not but this one is for sale. I only used it once, but I obviously can't return it and I don't need it so.....do you still need one? It can be adjusted btwn 4.5 and 10 psi. I will also throw in the two AN fittings you see in the pic if you want them. They are 3/8 NPT to -6.

PM me if you are interested.

High VOLUME and high PRESSURE are two different things:

Put your old pump on, shit can the gauge and lets go

If it aint pushing fuel past the needle and seat, put that M****R F****R in the G*D D**N water

Peace

Not gonna ruin my first day out with it , volume/pressure whatever it still needs to be regulated and beside that pump is probably sold..

the new pump is installed and plumbed, will get wired tomorrow and will be running again
