[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4355517, member: 15054"] So I got this engine and taking it apart and soooo much wrong with the deal. Ya like misaligned intake gaskets and too coarse of a finish on the block deck. Valves are long and the rockers getting worn by the large diameter valve springs. Not to mention a broken spring damper I found laying in the drain back hole in the small block chevy head. This is 2024 and this engine was put together 5 years ago I DO NOT like springs with dampers. Anyone run a solid roller cam on the street? I researched it for hours yesterday and found some springs that may work NO dampers thankfully. Seat pressure is a bit low 165-190 500psi to 550psi rate. This is a Howards cam .640" lift 257-263 @ .50 on a 108 LSA so I was told. 7/16 studs in the head and stud girdle. SBC 388" I may have the bearings out today and see how well the took to the aluminum debris from the rocker wear. [/QUOTE]
