I sent you a PM

Nice pass Jason. Whats your car weigh? What tranny?

2800 ready to race with me in it. At that time it was a 904 but we had issues with tire spin that night it was a test n tune night and there was little to no track prep. The 60 should have been much better.

This new combination going together is gonna be a complete new animal we swapped to a glide so we shall see how that goes

I agree! I believe the China wall will be a far better place to bring the oil in from what I've seen on our cast iron block...assuming yours is the same.
Where are you bringing in oil on yours Shiloh?

I wonder if those could be adapted to work on a BB? What are the offsets and fulcrum lengths, if you have that info? And do they use a stock diameter shaft, or something specific to those rockers since they're paired?

bringing it in the China wall.. Brian you can always call me anytime if you would like to compare notes...

I will do that when I start working on it again....prolly Feb.
Thank you!

So what was the block issue? How did you fix your bearing problem?
Doug

This image is looking at the front of the block

The top plug is the lifter galley.. the bottom plug is the main feed.. don't pay any attention to the one that has the milk running out of it that's the cam tunnel drain

This picture is taken with the main feed plug out looking up towards the lifter galley... the one with the light coming through it was down size to 5/16.. just before it got to the main feed which was clearly not enough oil to feed all the rods and mains

This picture was taken looking down from the top of the China wall it was drilled short approximately 1in of hitting the main feed... I upsized the drill bit one at a time until until I was happy with the size.. and yes in the top photo there was water in the oil because of porosity in the Block in the cam tunnel area just in case you were wondering what that white stuff was... essentially cutting our Dyno day short

Last photo

That block has had nothing but problems since the day it hit the market can not believe Kent has not gotten all these problems fixed he could sell them as fast as he could build them if he was to get the machine work straightened out

Scott trust me he knows that I've talked to him a few times he's a one man show I believe he's doing what he can he has fought several issues with the foundries making the blocks. Last I spoke to him he was going to a new foundry with high hopes not sure if he's had any luck. But as I said before at least he's trying

Oh and keep in mind if jump on to some of these threads with guys talking about the aftermarket big blocks World, KB, Indy they ALL have issues so we're not the only ones fighting problems finding good blocks.

Your a good and patient man. Kent should be skinned alive for taking money for such junk

Kent could have talked with maskin about doing his block and I’m sure we would not be talking about quality control instead he chose to go the cheaper route now the block has nothing but bad press

Lol Scott I have no other choice than to be patient.... it's all we to use, so we have to either figure it out or be stuck with what we can find on EBay! I agree he had many other options why he chose to go the route he did is unknown. In the meantime I just hope and pray that the information Shiloh shared will fix our issues we have on ours. I'll keep everyone posted but hopefully we're back on the dyno with the new setup by the end of January.

GOOD LUCK GUYS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS

JASON

At this point in time the aluminum Ritter block in mine has been great, no problems. WhiteDart are you feeding the oil into the motor on the front China wall? I drilled and taped the hole between the upper and lower oil gallies and put a restricter in to slow the oil down going to the top end. I am feeding mine through the back of the block.
