Aight, fantastic compression on every cylender.

205 to 210psi!

Wait, no, one of them seems to be at 60psi , and blasting hot oil out of the intake tract. Huh.

Head rebiuld time.

Rockville Ring and Bearing, $10 per valve to reface the valve and the seat, ~$12 for a new intake valve.

Ahh, cheep chevy parts.

Pushrod engines are so mind-numbingly simple to work on.



Why do I work on rotaries again? :P


Oh yeh, thats why, this IRON BLOCK, IRON HEAD engine weighs A BILLION METRIC TONS, and redlines at a blistering 5500RPM!

I doubt an old chevy engine would use a timing chain. the only older engines that I know of that use timing chains are european.

All in block cam engines I have seen use timing chains. It's about as long as our oil pump chain seeing as how the cam is inches above the crank.

Single camshaft on a V engine... Not one for each bank, but one for all cylinders... Fewer moving parts. Gotta love it.

I think he should take the chain off and use an electric motor to drive the camshaft. No wasted engine power to compress valve springs and such, plus fewer frictional losses.

Or better yet, extend the camshaft out to the front of the vehicle and use a propeller to drive it.

why even HAVE a cam at that point? electronically controlled mini-linear actuator on each valve.

Most cam-in-block engines are chains.

My Mustang was a chain.

The electric motor idea wouldnt work, but the prop idea is great

Speed variable cam timing!!

Sure it would. Just use a really big battery. Your cam timing would be either on or off, like an electric golf cart
