I offered to get back on track but OP gave me a porch pass to keep bench racing I'll drop some clutch talk inDid we ever discuss clutch brands on this thread?
Hydraulic or flat? Are you hardening the cam? I wonder if you could freeze harden it?So i went on a mission. I got a roller 215 billit
Almost perfect for my selfish purposes [1300-4300ish, really, looking for off idle to 4k, so..].cut to match the short nose and did a custom grind on it for mid range power 2000-5000rpm.
Can you share:Nothing crazy on the grind but as aggressive as he could within that rpm range. I just asked him last week if he could replicate it and now that he knows what to do the answer is yes. it surpised me on the price too. much cheaper than i was expecting. yesterday i fit my rockers and was able to get a pushrod measurement.
This is great, are you gonna be able to put it on the dyno? I'd love to see a Richard Holdener dyno discussion on your build [ he does a great vlog: https://youtube.com/@richardholdener172 ]Called Manton pushrods and have a set being made. I cant wait to get them and have her running.
Thanks for solving our problemi have been fighting this cam issue for almost 2 years now.
I suppose 4.0 is a bridge too far with conventional sleeves? That would make piston choices wildly accessible.As for sleeves they are easily done. .20 over is no issue. Pistons, rings and rods can be made or sourced. The turbo project was just something i stumbled into.
I'm mainly interested in that cam-train. Heck, put it together as a package and sell it roller cam, lifters, pushrods, springs, retainers, seals, locks...and maybe optional roller rockers (do they even make em?).. Your 2k-5500 range is pretty close to what I personally am looking for.. drop that range 500rpm and call it good. Maybe you can sell enough of them to reel back in some of that investmentGuess i opened the door. This engine would be around 30,000$ I hate to say it but im not walking someone through all of this. Its just something i do, build engines and have for 30+ years. Now its just building and playing with toys for myself.
They do make roller rockers but you have to change how the rockers mount. Then you have to run taller valve covers. Then hopefully you don’t have to make a spacer plate for the upper intake. That last mod is probably is only needed for Bosch motors.I'm mainly interested in that cam-train.

The plan is to mount an Eaton on a spacer plate anyways...They do make roller rockers but you have to change how the rockers mount. Then you have to run taller valve covers.

Any updates?So now im about 2 weeks away from having her all together.
Have you got this in your hands yet? Impressions? Part no.?Next problem was timing set. No good quality timing sets were available... I sent Clint at TWS a picture of the broken gear as we had a conversation about it a couple weeks ago. He sent me a picture of a custom made billit timing set. He ran with our conversation and had it made already.
