Re: 8Ba with Big Cam idle/hg

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
I believe the end play on the shaft/gear assembly in the pump body is controlled by the drive gear clearance to the pump housing. That play should not allow the pumping gear to bear against the end...

Re: it came home
That's excellent. You must have built it well! That's a lot of value for $550.

Re: Oil filter emergency bypass
Not goofy at all. When I was young and working at the local repair shop the shop owner said to do just that as long as the gasket looked good. Never had one leak, even if they were hard. I still do...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
I drilled holes in a junk head a while back...may have posted the pic but not sure. The domes are thicker than they seem. Bet you have no worry with the casting pit.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Love it! Gary, you are a thinker. You constantly invent ways to get the job done with whatever you have on hand, and it's with impressive results. Well done. :):)

Re: oil filters
fordor41, the bypass on a filter opens at 20# (or whatever the designed rating is) DIFFERENCE in pressure between the inlet and outlet side of the filter, not the oil pressure the pump is delivering....

Re: Rebuilt flathead tight - too tight?
Fortyone, are you using only jumper leads from a battery to crank the engine? If so, hook up the actual battery cables and it'll crank far better. 45 ft/lbs is tight but not extreme as some rope type...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Gary, this is stuff that takes years to learn, and in my case, a lot of good information and research by folks who were nice enough to publish their work so we can benefit from it. It's interesting...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
GB, the EAC heads look like they'll fix the problem (never would have expected that problem!). The EAC's do have a bit less compression but you'll be just fine...you're not building a racer. Good job...
