    Engine adjust roller rockers on new 393

    blackhawk, they are brand new trick flow heads, out of the box drained the oil and replaced with lighter 5w-20 penn synthetic (original break in was mobil 10-30 synthetic) and a little seafoam, thinking maybe a lighter oil may get into the lifter better. ran it about 15 minutes at and just...

    Engine adjust roller rockers on new 393

    so, update: I set each valve up on the base circle of the cam, individually, and verified 0 lash on each. when done with all 16, each checked twice, I then went back and did a half turn on each and locked them down. put it all back together, started right up and ran well again, but I still have...

    Engine adjust roller rockers on new 393

    per summits article i mentioned: Warm the engine to operating temperature. Remove the valve covers. Hand-turn the engine in its normal direction of rotation. Watch the exhaust valve on that particular cylinder. When the exhaust valve begins to open, STOP. Adjust that cylinder's intake rocker...

    Engine adjust roller rockers on new 393

    after 'unloading' the preload on each lifter, does the plunger need time to fully unload and fully rise inside the lifter? im wondering this after reading the summit article recommending this, combined with the fact that I did the 1/2 turn preload recommendation on each rocker while on each...

    Engine adjust roller rockers on new 393

    So, I built a 393W 9 years ago and just now got around to getting the car complete enough to start. It fired right up once a fuel issue was fixed, sounded great, but I had a little valvetrain noise that I assumed was the valvetrain being a little too loose. More noticeable on the passenger side...

    SN95 MAF 460?

    General question.... If one were to take a MAF computer such as an A9 series, or one of the SN95 units, and try to use it to run a stock 460, with its factory 24# injectors, would the computer learn to adapt enough to successfully run it?

    Fuel fuel pump relay?

    I got and popped in a fuel pump relay today and it fired right up. I still dont quite understand how the 4cyl wiring had the relay plug capped/unused, unless the 4cyl engine harness had the relay mounted elsewhere originally.

    Fuel fuel pump relay?

    any idea why a 4cyl car had a block-off cap on the fuel pump relay wiring plug / no fuel pump relay present?

    Fuel fuel pump relay?

    So, after a 9 year pause after getting the 1991 Mustang 95% complete with the new 393W build, I am getting around to finishing it. I got it to where it would crank, but the fuel pump wasnt coming on. By just putting power manually directly to the fuel pump plug at the tank, it pumped fuel to the...

    Fuel return fuel line fitting?

    After a 9 year pause, I'm finally finishing my 396 stroker 91 Mustang. Got it to fire up for the first time, but it was leaking fuel where the flex nylon fuel line is pushed onto the plastic fitting which claips onto the metal return line below the brake booster/next to the steering column. The...

    help me pick 351 or 393

    thanks for putting it back on track. the only choices i am considering is a 351 with some decent pistons and a 393. the reasoning is price. the 351 option the only expense is nice pistons. the 393's only real expense is the crank, as regular hyper 302 pistons are part of the combo and damn...

    stupid piston/con rod question

    the pistons Im planning to use say 'press fit'. the rods I can have as 'press fit' or 'floating'. which way do i order the rods? first impulse tells me press fit goes with press fit, but upon further thinking, if there's an interference fit on the pin/rod AND the pin/piston pin bores, it...

    help me pick 351 or 393

    393 is as far as i'm willing to go as I dont want the short compression distance/oil ring issue. which is the same reason as why ive decided to not go with a 5.0 based block (347 is the limit and many kits have oil ring issues). a 408 puts the oil ring into the pin. hence, thats why i limited my...

    help me pick 351 or 393

    why does everyone always do that?! i asked for elp deciding on a 351 or 393, not a 408 or 427... im thinking a 351 may not be enough and a 393 might be overkill and you guys tell me to go 408. the car already has traction issues with a gt40 5.0.. again....351 and 393 debate for a strictly...
