Miss ya Bro 

I'm back! PC issues well, bypassed. Thanks Dave!

Ray

More info on the heads please!!!!

Heads are Edelbrock Performer RPM #6067. A few bent valves so a complete valve job is needed. They have Comp magnum roller tip rockers.

Valve covers are Procomps. Fitty bux?

Well, my kids, and Mom, now that we moved her in out here after pops died, hafta stay warm.......and cool next year.......sooooo......my heat pump went out last week, and the air handler is on it's last leg as well. Yes, GT, I had 5 pros look at it. They're amazed it was working up through last week for a 25 year unit with pretty little service. Kinda knew it was coming, but figured I had a couple more years out of it. so I might be outta boats for awhile. I'll be calling in substantial "loans" I've made as well. Damn! I thought what WE did was expensive!!!

Anyway, anything and everything you see in this pic or background is for sale, or anything you KNOW ot have reason to know that I have (Like the Kuhl Dommy  Blower Adaptors)..........Yes even the Mooneyham 10-71!!!!.........I think I'm gonna go cry now......



My Twin Jet 26' Sleek also, with nearly all the original parts in bins everywhere, including the Teak swim deck built better than any "back East" house deck I ever saw.....2 rebuilt 12 JG's, too much to get into as well, make offers. Yes, I will include the special intakes AND custom loaders I paid $500 to have made for them.

My "fugly" 18' Hallett........also available........good boat for the right project

My 18' Saguaro........probably a better start of a project than the Hallett! Pretty boat, Biesemeyer molds made it, and honestly, would be the most user friendly 18' I've seen even above the Sleeks.

My '06 F350 4X4 Crew Cab. 6.0 Turbo Diesel, 148k miles. Power everything except the seats (cloth) and no carpet (vinyl.......I wanted it this way so I could just hose it out after a weekend at the lake/river. It's the Red truck on the other side of Crewcheif's Hondo.........couldn't find any other pics of the thing and I KNOW I have a ton!

 

Whatever you see in any pics I've posted, is available. I been very generous, and forgiving, with everyone I know, and hope for the same in return.

Any pics you want, lemme know, and we can negotiate if you're serious.

Ray

Happy Birthday

 

X2 bro!

Ray

Ive got one of them you can have too Paul (D0OE-9425-C), along with a bunch of other 460 stuff I'm not going to reuse.  Fresno area if you want to pick it up on one of your trips.

 Jeff, 559-270-1162

I got 4 of 'em here, but maybe I oughta hold on to 'em to see exactly what Paul is up to here..............

Ray

Detonation damage, yeah I see a little of that, but I also see a LOT of valve damage on the one piston, and some nice smiley's from the intakeand exhaust valves on the other two. I think the two MIGHT be related........just me......

Ray

In other words, detonation didn't cause this. Looks to me Cam timing did. JMHO.

Where would be the best place to set a mechanical gauge directly on the motor of a mid 70's stock 460 with a performer rpm intake? Id like to see if my dash gauge is correct. It dosent  move much when i throttle on and off.

Personally, I'd simply pull the sender and screw in a mechanical and check it on the dock. If the numbers look like what you saw on the dash, GTG.  Whay are you second guessing your OP guage anyway?s there an issue?

Ray

Is this a Place diverter or another brand? I had one JE and worked on another recently. BOTH original nozzles had o-rings, and BOTH Place diverter installs had O-rings. Just checked in the garage, still have both original nozzles here. 

Ray

Thanks guys! I was going to follow everyone out on the run Saturday but when I got on the throttle it had a real bad vibration so I put it o the trailer to look and sure enough.

Brad was there right? He's pretty damn resourceful in getting those stubborn bastards out!  He helped me many times, (I think I did it like 4 times the same weekend) and I remember him and I flipping over a wetbike and spending a half an hour getting a rock out of one of those on a beach once............

Ray

The three damaged pistons near each other?
Hyperautectic pistons?
Moly rings?
In all honesty, it sounds like you have/had an oil problem, you say a roller failed, that is not what I would call normal. Would love to see what the ring gaps were too.....I'm reaching though.

GT

I'm kinda on this same thought path. Obviously, something went VERY wrong, and I can't say I've ever seen a BLUE piston. Seen many blued rods and cranks, and know what caused THAT, but a piston? New one on me.

As GT said, inadequate gaps in rings, slugs way too tight to bores (I would be looking SERIOUSLY there). Not going to contradict Barry, but would seem to me "lean" is pretty much out of the question given what you said, and I can't see where overly rich "wash" would have caused THAT so quickly. To be THAT rich it wouldn''t even have run, I would think. Post pics and maybe THAT part can be ruled out.

The failed roller lifter raises my eyebrows a little, and did you see it? did it "spit" out and cause total oil pressure loss? It all sounds to me that MAYBE, total failure of the oil system due to a spit or destroyed lifter MIGHT have caused this. But without pics and seeing it all, as GT said, just a SWAG.

Ray

It has been years since I messed with this, but as I recall, and more memory will fade in later as I think about it, the goal is to measure the axle pinion angle and the transfer case pinion angle and they should add up to 180* with deflections in opposite directions. We did it using the yokes, a magnetic torpedo level and and angle finder on the level. Add (Or subtract, depending on which end or which way you are going) 90* from that measurement. The only way to fix these is tapered shims between the axle and leaf springs on the axle end of the shaft.   

Been a long time, and my memory could be off, so maybe there's a better answer out there.

Ray

ray old moo in the back ground being used as a catch all!
haha

chris

I know, huh? Poor thing! I haven't heard from Jana as to whether they got her up and running again or not?

I tried starting with 1000, but that was just too slow and didn't seem to be cutting very well. Granted, we were hand sanding the thing, not using a DA, but that old gel was HARD!
