sweet!!! looks like you had some bad oil in the first motor. kinda dark looking but new setup looking sweet as hell. that 11.5 will really help with your DCR. have you figured that out yet? anything around or over 8.5 is tits
Contacted some people and it’s actually between 12.0 and 12.5:1 static compression ratio. Dynamic compression ratio is between 8.5 to 8.7:1. Probably closer to the lower, but I don’t have the actual cylinder head chamber volumes. There’s a shocker, a measurement that I actually skipped.
you honestly are the most organized person I have ever seen! You probably would have a heart attack if you were down 1st try when we got 3 projects going on! hahah
Short story - driver’s side valve cover wouldn’t bolt up right, passenger side hit the rocker arms. Sent back to Canton to get fixed, bolt up now, and doesn’t hit rocker arm, but the alternator doesn’t clear.
Moved alternator and back in business on getting the engine running. Pretty aluminum. Thanks Pewter for the hardware for the template.
