All the bearings, oil pump, and oil passages in the block were good and clear with nothing in them. Filter caught all of it from the looks of everything. Double checked a bunch of stuff, and nothing else hurt.

So, the lifters I had were old enough that they warranted replacing, and now the engine is back in the car and running...In hind sight, we should have probably changed the valve springs as well, but I have to leave somthing to do this winter, or I will be bored.

Next outing...This Friday/Saturday.....

So to recap this build....440Source 512 kit with light weight crank option, 10.8:1 compression....680 lift cam and Indy EZ1 heads, unported.


It's all a learning curve both good and bad so enjoy the ride and good luck............ beer
