    Valve lash

    This is how I always set lash on solid rollers. I set the in intake when the exhaust is open and vis versa. Just a habit I got into when racing. I checked them twice before I put the valve covers on and for the first 1000 miles the motor was quiet.

    Valve lash

    The pushrods arnt bent I checked and rolled all the pass side on a table. The tip that rides on lifter looks fine, some of the cups on the top that ride on the rocker are scarred up. Enough that if I drag seal pick in the cup I can feel the ridges and they are pretty deep. The tips of the...

    Valve lash

    Hopefully that's the case, If everything looks good a may throw a set of manton 7/16 pushrods in it for piece of mind

    Valve lash

    I'm gonna borrow a bite scope and check the cam. That's the thing everything was tight. I checked torque on everything before pulling it apart. I cut open the oil filter it was clean. Pushrods are straight. The only thing I could think of is something got caught under a rocker bridge or...

    Valve lash

    It has wagler pushrods. It has no metal in the oil and no wires sounds but the tap from the lash being wrong. I dont see how it would be the cam. Maybe a lifter

    Valve lash

    Built my motor last year. Have put roughly 2k miles on it. A couple months ago I developed a slight valve tick, not to noticable cold but definitely noticable hot. Lately it has gotten louder even cold. Traced it down the the passenger side and pulled the valve cover. #7 exhaust was at .040. a...

    S300 Kit LMM

    Smeding doesn't have the best reputation so be prepared. It is a direct drop in I test fitted one I had one of these that needed to be rebuilt, I called Work and they said they would rebuild it but I went with a HTT S366 in my twin kit as it's internally gated.

    Lly/lb7 rebuild

    If your gonna build it use the crank and pistons, throw a set of the Callie's rods in. They are really hard to bet at 1100

    LML GPCM delete?

    I've done it on a lmm. Loop the canbus wires back together. It will still throw a soft code and the glow plug light will stay on

    Looking for Allison build/install options near Virginia.

    Who did you settle on? George does build a stock plus build, I can tell you it is stout. I have it in my LBZ and I beat the piss out of it. When he first did the trans it was only getting a 100hp tow tune. Then it need head gaskets and got 60 overs, a 66mm VGT and a max effort tune with the same...

    Built motor oil

    Maybe I'll look into swapping oil coolers. It would be a lot easier on the stand 😂. I'm taking temps precooler from the top of the oil filter housing

    Built motor oil

    It is, I shoulda went with a lp5 cooler or maybe it would be different if I used a Garrett based charger that is water cooled. I was thinking if maybe a different oil would help it some. I also don't tow at all with this truck it's strictly a fun truck but I do take it on long trips

    Built motor oil

    That's what I was unsure of, go to thicker oil or thinner oil. I think the oil temp is a combination of things. I ran a stock lbz oil cooler, twins are 366/488 so the oil is sucking up a good amount of heat. My oil temp sensor is in the oil filter housing. If I cruise down the road at 80mph I'll...

    Built motor oil

    I only have about 2k miles on my built motor. At idle I have around 15psi and 60+ at WOT that's logging it with efi. I do run twins and a couple hard runs my oil temps will get up. Normal driving or cruising around 210-220, WOT pulls they will see north of 240-250

    Built motor oil

    What is everyone running in their 1000hp+ motors? When is it worth it to step up to a straight weight oil? I currently run amsoil dominator 20w-50. Forged pistons, hx bearings. After a couple hard pulls oil pressure is lower then I like even with DHD oil pump. Just looking to see what others...

    LBZ: glow plug delete

    It's been awhile since I did this. The only two wires you will be worried about it's the tan with black strip and tan with white strip if I remember right. Those are your canbus wires feeding the GPCM. Everything else can get stripped out of the harness. Your glowplug light will stay on so you...

    2.5 VNT Turbo Options 2023

    How about Dan's? I've run 3 different Dans vgts with great luck. Still have the 66 in my LBZ and it's has the crap beat out of it. I've had bad luck with RDS so I stay away anymore.
