[A softball question for the Ninja and/or others]
This is the cam card that came with my 2357 engine, which was originally built by Rimco/Fat (long block) a few years ago. Can someone explain why with an intake/exhaust of 448, the lift was only set to 327 degrees? I'm about to rebuild my motor and a lot of focus will be directed at piston "deck clearance" and the valve train geometry that wasn't set correctly. Thanks.  |

Thanks guys! My head is starting to spin here. Trying to figure out the best course of action.
Option #1: Target 9.2 CR and get JE pistons Concern: CR is still too high. How can we lower it? Deck Height at .045? Option #2: Target 9.5+ and get Nickies Concern: Not made of money!! Option #3: Get a different sized crank? Concern: Cost as much as, or more than, JE pistons. Thoughts? |
