it'll last. I think the only difference between our builds is I have forged pistons and ARP bolts. You spent more money on the rings and your crankshaft turned out cleaner than mine. If I had a dollar for everytime my machinist said "those pits will just hold oil". Keep the tune under control. your build is going to be a handful on the road
You have a really wussy cam.
Best news I've had all day!
Stop bein such a goober.
Be a man, Get somethin with 650 lift, and about 260 degrees actual duration at .050.
Then think of all the youth envy you'll foster the next time you come lopin' into your local Pop shop.
Uhhhhh,........ That Collin is sooo Btchin.Broken springs, bent pushrods, premature rocker arm failure, and pss poor street performance is only a phone call away.
Even the Monster has a mechanical roller cam,....time to step up.
I haven't had enough coFfee to even begin figUring out how to respond to that.You have a really wussy cam.

I thought it was quite witty for a Monday morning.
552/563, 228/232 and 114-degree LSA. It's no B cam, but it should work well enough.
I guess this is a bad time to mention I ordered flat tappet lifters instead of hyd rollers. So much for me relishing the quick wit.
So...
I've never actually had to measure push rods before. I ensured the cam was on the base circle, installed a 'fixed' lifter and the measuring tool, and installed the pedestal lifter. Then, I extended the rod until zero lash.
Sound right?
I meant when you use your flat-tappet lifters... They're shorter so.... longer push-rods. Get it?
*sip*
The cam in the Monster is that big.
In stock configuration, when comparing the Monster's engine to a 351 is like comparing George Mcfly to Biff.
A 4.0L I-6 comes with a cam that expects the valves to lift themselves, it's so small. Couple that to the 8:1 stock compression, the piston is .128" in the hole, and it's a heavy assed cast slug that thinks 4500 RPM is asking too much. The valves are like 1.6 intake, and a 1.345 exhaust, and the whole thing is being fed by a really gay 1bbl carburetor. Asking this engine to breathe is like expecting somebody with severe asthma to run a marathon.
I've built mine. I've changed all of that. Now There is a solid roller in there .530 I/.558 exhaust w/ 224.232 at .050. on a 114 C/L.
The head's new and has a 1.8 intake, and a 1.5 exhaust. There is a zero decked forged piston and a really cool BMW wanna be intake feeding the whole thing.
I've done my part to maintain my manliness,....time for you to take your hormone supplement.
Be a man! That much extra play doh sitting on top of the piston gives me pause to wonder if you'll be singing lead in remake of La Cage au Faux
You should probably just ignore my baited invitation to get in my sand box and fling sand at me. I have to get ready to go be a genius, and I won't be able to play.
@madmike1157 Feel free to purchase any cam of your choosing and send it over. I believe you may still have my address around somehweres.
