Loved that guy! You guys remember Sunday night "Mystery Theatre" on ABC where it was either "MacCloed, Columbo, or McMillan and Wife" ?
Sad to see him go, but it's the years guys. One thing he left is a legacy. I don't think anyone can ever for get the "Oh, just one more thing..............."

Kinda where I was heading with it, but I think Josh is losing his sense of humour about the whole thing.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the oil pressure dropped to nothing. Obviously the spun bearing(s) is the result, not the cause.

« on: June 24, 2011, 11:41:12 AM »ring gaps aint gonna take out a rod bearing. the shit in the valley came right from the rod as it was spinning around. Ring were probably loose as this block was run fefore..i think. For every .001 you open the bore ring gap opens PI, which is 3.147.....Or .003. so it dont take long for gaps to open up wide. So if you've got .002 wear you've open ring gap .006. I wouldnt trust ANY mesurment from ANYBODY unless they measured with THEIR tools and use them everyday. I doubt there are very many people on here that could accuratly measure anything under a thou. I used to machine parts for HPs hard drive robotics and did some for the 1st space shuttle. Some of our tolerences were a hundred times tighter than any boat motor. we used to call automotive machinists, "blacksmiths". We had a machine called a CMM, computer measuring machine, it was in a climate controlled room on an isolated slab. It had a ruby sylist that came in and touched the parts all over and compared to print and gave a report on where the parts is in relation to the print. This was then an ISO-9000 certified part. Someone needs to get one of these set up for blocks. Another thing is you parts will change all day long as temps change if you wanna get real technical.
I set up a CMM at a location in Meadville, PA years ago......But that's not fixing Nordie's problem......
Spun rod bearing, probably due to the "no oil pressure" issue..........I see no evidence that the piston slapped the head.......Broken oil pump drive? spit lifter? could be a mariad of things. NO matter what, tear it down, get it all cleaned, then hit it with the hose and brushes, then reassemble. it WAS working! no need to rethink it. Just think "why did I lose oil pressure? " There is your WHY!

And just drop the hypers already...even,the one that was bouncing off of the head is in great shape! You guys make it seem like its soooo bad well theres your proof...
You was running a pretty dangerously high deck height to begin with. That's, I think, why #6 decided it had had enough. Not seeing where it slapped the head, But guessed it from the trailer. Rod bearings are cheap. Pull it apart, get it hot tanked, reassemble with new bearings. I think you're OK. As far as the oil pressure? i'm betting you spit a lifter or two or bent some pushrods......Probably #6.........Been there and done that! You didn't post pics of that.
Of more concern to me, once back tegether, is WHY the front cylinders look lean and the rears seem normal? I'd be thinking about that......but then, I overthink things......

« on: June 23, 2011, 11:13:16 PM »I see a Fawked up burn pattern, but that's about it. How'd the bearing shit get up in the valley after going through the filter? What's all that orange shit on the deck surface?
yeah Dave, Great looking, what '72 Chevelle?
Lots of sparkelys in the valley. Gotta go with Pat on that, but, and I know you were running some pretty long rods and a very high piston/deck height on that, why did only one cylinder give issues? Lemme guess, it's the one with the rod bearing failure huh?
I don't see head damage though in the pics.......Hows the piston look? Overall? looks like it ran VERY lean on the front cylinders, looking at the pistons. I know you check yer plugs, so this would be a concern to me. Overall, you can save it!

You would probably have to meet the guy to understand. He was a old boat racer and knows what woks in boats and what dosent all from personal experience!
We're taliking an off shelf cam, I think. Granted, Ed's company can make something truly special! But off the shelf? Depending on what you want, I think you can find something off the shelf..........say a Comp Xtreme Marine...........

« on: June 23, 2011, 02:57:00 PM »what makes your prefer the clay smith cams over all the other one?
It's just a presonal preference. What really matters is being able to understand ALL the specs of the cam for the intended application. You have to realistically introduce your true RPM Useage, and compression ratio, and intended induction, THAT is where the quagmire lay. One cam is not necissarily made better than another............I personally prefer Howards Cams or Comp Cams, for example. But it all comes down to componentry, what RPM you intend to run, what C/R you have and what induction you intend to run............
Isky is a very good name, but like an old retired person.......it all depends on depends...............

I saw that this morning too. Yup, Bennett trim tab cylinder, looks like a jacuzzi GE reverse bucket, rest of it, who knows???
There was another company that made the adjustable trim devices years ago too. I almost bought one used a couple years ago. Trying to remember the name of it.........Something "bear" is sticking in my mind.........
It'll come to me.
