[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. |

You have accurate tools.
You measured close to .003 P-W You DON"T have a choice, the bores must be at minimum honed by a machine shop with real honing machine. This will add some clearance... One thing I'd do is add moly coating to the skirts of the piston. This will tighten the clearance a small amount. Having the suggested P-W clearance and ring gaps from KB would help. I've seen old posts by Raby talking about these, His roll pin incident and his (At least then) suggestion of Hastings rings. I think he mentioned ring gaps. |
