Not as much in this one , but let us know what you are wondering or want to steer towards with questions for the next one

@lilpickleracing I'm just a sponge, so whatever yall deal with and ask right now is good. But if a question arises I'll ask. Maybe just bring up leaf spring suspension with caltracs and let him go to town

I had .002 when we put new sleeves, but if we deck block between rebuilds I lose it. Haven't seen a difference when I pull it apart with or without , besides the indent in the gasket

I just had 300-026 darton sleeves installed in my LS block, the machine shop left the same protrusion, asked them about that. They said it's to counter sleeve sinking!? Why it would sink with a massive machined shoulder, they didn't have a response to that, i contacted darton, John C. Respond; "As long as the sleeves are completely seated a +.002 protrusion is ok. This gives a little more crush on the head gasket to seal. LS9 mls gasket will do just fine." Thank you for responding

Should not need 0.003- 0 004 interference .More like 0.0025 - 0.003.

Yes, if you want to really get that super, insanely technical, then every single engine will be completely different than the last, unless they are built exactly the same way, with the same parts. That's why I love "recipes" for engine builds.

Yes, they have been backed up a bit, but block is just waiting for the new sleeves to be bored now. Should be done in next week or 2

Yeah they line on the tire at that race for some reason. You think it made a difference at the finish?

Back then it was a 434 sbc with sb2.2 heads and a nitrous fogger system. Powerglide

I still run flat tappets myself, gotta remember, flat tappets powered a lot of cars for a very long time! And if I'm going a little more radical then solid flat tappet it is! They're cheap and they definitely work! Just gotta make sure you're running a good oil with zinc and you're good to go! People thinking you have to go roller to be competitive is just not so, as a matter of fact went to a big street car shootout last summer and they're was over 90 cars entered and the winner was a guy running an old 406 sbc with a hydraulic flat tappet! That thing was screaming, he had it in one of those old Monza Spyder's, really cool setup for sure!

It's easy for people to upgrade engines on the cheap , with the flat tappet stuff , as long as people are modifying there old engines , I think we will see them around for a long time

Yeah I don't think you can go wrong with a more known name brand. The yes welder has been doing pretty good so far, but not sure if it breaks how easy parts will be to find

The good always overshadows the bad for sure

I'm going to say thanks also , and write a comment so youtube pushes this good info out to others... Be safe. Run hard. Don't eat yellow snow. And don't kiss family on the lips... till next time

Next time he is on we are going to deep dive into his thoughts , and me being a no prep racer, most questions with be self serving...haha

I'm not sure greg wants the maintenance of valve springs every pass.

@@lilpickleracing where are the “links” to Greg’s channel?

@joe blough should be end of description for this video Or youtube.com/@BadInfluenceGarage

Sometimes you get that feeling

@@lilpickleracing yes sir agreed

Well...stuck together so far... rest I'm up to the boys with the cool toys

Thanks. Trying to be able to do this stuff...travel is the killer

Thank you! Cheers!

This boat anchor has hung with the best 👍

No one said it was chiefs site. But since your a huge fan of him . If you look in the comments for his real name you might find him. Thanks for the views , enjoy your stay

Well it's ran for 3 years now after all the head studs were cracked. Block wise it's never been happy, so I don't think this will be any different. Not like block failed on its own. It was the rods fault Most of it was a pan rail area But i won't know if I don't try

Pull was out of tolerance lol. So I went back in and welded the 3 center mains so we can line bore it. It's all just metal to cut...lol

I have a line on a iron Block, but it's 120lbs more and not sure how long I'll have to wait. So might be running this one till I figure out iron is to heavy and car doesn't like it. Or if the iron can't offset my hp losses ...experiments I guess

@@lilpickleracing nobody likes picking up and carrying iron block, especially not race cars lol. Stick with what you doing, cept maybe just not breaking them as often lol

New block is 8000.00 us plus machine work. And you would have to find one. I'm in Canada so that's 11k Time is free, machine shop trades work for machining with me. Iron block is the only other option at this point for me and i couldn't find a tall deck, raised cam, spread pan rail block in stock anywhere. And guys have been waiting almost a year. And there 120lbs more. Billet would be the best but they are 14k us when I called everywhere. And you can see by my RUclips views not like this makes me money haha Thanks for watching. We'll see what happens

@@lilpickleracing I would like to thank you for educating me on the dollar figures, I really had no clue. You have taught me a good lesson, sir do my research before I let my fingers make an ass of myself. I truly hope everything works out well for you.

Plus when your live in the artic you have alot of time on your hands in the winter

@Keith Griffith o no problems at all.. I should have talked about it in the video a bit but I've just been sitting on this footage for a few weeks and slapped a video together.
