Re: Parts
 

Thanks bbchevy. I have everything I need, I just need to start with the correct settings.

i was told of a good way to stop milky oil and help get temp up :wink:


an old timer told use to run a vac vent line from the manifold in side the car with a valve on it .... this way when you open it.... it sucks air to lean it out and will get the temp up as well. he also said to get the temp up to 200 deg. before shutting the car down :)

The engine is apart.
Thankfully, no big damage. The ring gap was a bit big on some cylinders. Gonna replace the bearings, because they were a little washed from the excess alcohol, and install some gapless rings.

Thanks for the info fast.
I have a lean out valve on the car and I used it when the engine had a carb on it. With the injection, I just pull out the fuel shut of until the engine is lean.

Look into rings from Wiseco or JE, low tension, there is hp in that area.


Did they say what the ring gap was ?

The end gap was 28 top ring and 26 second ring.
I'm gonna go to gapless top rings. Changing to a Sniper manifold at the same time. It will be a couple of weeks yet.

with injection the intake is a waste but if you every do a carb again there is a gain there.

David,
Which intake manifold are you running with your injection system?

I have the Sniper on it for carb purposes and a 454R sitting here for it also.

I saw some impressive claims of HP gains with the Sniper and assumed they were using a carb for the testing. I wondered if it did the same with injection. Now I know. Thanks, David.
