    Rear Differential Questions?

    Ok let me just start out by saying that I know very very little about Rear Differentials! What I do know: * I currently have 8.0" 3.00 Gears (Non-Lock) in my car (Stock) * I have 8.0" 3.80 Rear Differential (Non-Lock) (Spare I picked up cheap) * My current Differential works fine no issues...

    New motor is running!

    I think my valve train noise may be coming from having pushrods that are slightly too short... But to be honest I am just guessing at this point! I even have the noise when I pull off the valve covers and it gets worse as the engine warms up. Kind of sounds like the noise solid lifters would...

    Time to pull the engine out for the winter! Suggestions?

    Hmm... This is exactly why I wanted to go with the Twisted Wedge heads? Everywhere I read, said that the TFS you could use even stock pistons with no relief but the AFR 185cc heads had to have deep relief’s? Now I am really confused :) I do have deep relief’s in my pistons so either way it...

    Time to pull the engine out for the winter! Suggestions?

    2muchtime, I 100% agree with you that I could probably replace the oil pump and go but since it is going to be parked for 4 months, I figured I might as well have some fun with it! :) I wanted to change all the bearings anyway! And I also agree that Suspension and Gears are needed but the...

    Time to pull the engine out for the winter! Suggestions?

    To refresh you on my story, I spun an oil pump rod while at the track this fall. After pressure testing the engine came out good (171-181PSI), I decided not to trash this engine and start over again... But, I do want to do some work to it over the winter! This is what I have: - 66 289 Block...

    New motor is running!

    I know this is an old thread but I have the Competition Cam (FS XE268H-10) "Extreme Energy" and mine engine shakes looks almost identical to yours! But I do notice that I have more valve train noise than you do! In fact we have nearly identical setups!

    Took my MII to the track today, what a disaster!!!

    I have an update!!! (Good news too) GOOD NEWS! :banana: I did some more reading on how to DO compression testing and the results came out much better! I shot 3 shots of oil in the "TOP" of each cylinder so the oil would run down and seal the rings completely! I then turned the engine...

    Took my MII to the track today, what a disaster!!!

    One last thing... Could it be my valves leaking causing the big differences? I don't see how my situation could have messed up the valves but again I am no expert! Maybe they got burnt or something? Chad

    Took my MII to the track today, what a disaster!!!

    I did squirt 2 shots of oil in each cylinder... Hmm maybe the 179 got distributed better than the 152's??? Maybe I will try again today with two more shots of oil in each cylinder just to make sure! Thanks for everyone's help on this! Chad

    Way off topic!!! Formula 1 Engines!
