Today, I profiled the cam after degreeing it in at 106 CL. I gapped the rings and installed all but one piston. I am missing one oil ring support
I E-Mailed 440 source tonight, waiting for a reply.
I checked the valve distance from seated to the piston at TDC (with no head gasket), and got 0.358" intake, and 0.385 exhaust. So I should have at least 0.398" with a 0.040" head gasket.
By checking lobe lift every degree around TDC, and measuring piston position with a bridge, it looks like the Intake valve is closest to the piston at 8-degrees ATDC, but I should have 0.2038" PV clearance
I figured it would be plenty using such a mild cam, but it's fun measuring this stuff for future reference (and to get away from the wife and kids for a few hours.)
Anyhow, Next will be working on the stealth heads. Need to make pushrod clearance if I want to use the 1.7:1 rockers. So far I only checked the valve job on one chamber, but it looked good. Guides seemed fine too. I might gasket match and clean up the ports, but the castings look pretty good.
