Bring it. Besides the entertainment, it might even help someone.

Yes, the same HP I guess, they have had a couple variations of the same name. Without going back and trying to tell the whole story which I have posted on here before, I'll just start from when I pulled the engine back out after only 2000 miles, and drinking a qt of oil every 75 to 100 miles. Pulled the engine and took to a local shop I trust, they said the bores were over size, and not straight, and the distributor/oil pump drive gear bushing hole was off center. The engine had been put together dirty and as a result the bearings were shot. It was sucking oil through the intake, and the rings may have never seated. My shop man said the cylinder liners were too thin to bore. He was able to fix the bushing for the dist drive, BUT I had to buy 8 new liners, at $1400. He talked to LA sleeve and they said that HP shopped for price, and not for what they needed. I also remember that the original builder complaining about the sleeves. So maybe this week the sleeves will be going in.The motor also has to low of a compression for the cam that was installed, and the cam is to big for the way the car is set up. The hyd roller lifters will also have to be replaced cause the retainers popped out of a few of them, that will be $800. I can keep updating as the build/ repair progresses.

My local shop is doing the work, I was going to take to Bob, but that didn't happen. Bob, and AJ have been very helpful on the phone with very good advice.

Thought it was time for an update on this POS from HP performance. Yes, I mean David Everhart. Milan Keslier built it. Two new problems have now popped up. I can't reuse the lifters cause the retainer clip for the hyd unit has a bad design and keeps popping out, so my shop ordered a new set of Morel hyd roller lifters, which measure just a little undersize compared to the others. When he checked the bushing bore he found too large of a clearance, one was .007 with the old lifters, so now he has to put new bushings in. Four of the roller tipped exhaust rockers didn't have any holes drilled to oil the pushrod tips. But today while he was getting ready to make those holes, he found at least one of the other rockers where the hole was drilled in the rocker wasn't drilled through the bushing on the inside. He is also going to drill squirt holes for the tip also. But for the original engine builder...who takes parts out of the box, and doesn't look at it to see if is is ok or not. I mean crap, this is getting old. More to come as we go along.

Seen all kinds of abominations come into the shop at FHO. HPP isn't the only engine blacksmith Not trying to hijack this thread but I need contact info for FHO and Ray Barton, I'm building a pump gas 572 C.I. Hemi motor with a new cast iron World block and I need new aluminum heads, rockers, intake and so on for this build. I did a search on my ISP for FHO and the sites that came up didn't look correct Thanks in advance.
Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
