Just launched the redesigned site, with a few more articles. One that could benefit this forum can be found at http://www.cccylinderheads.com/ Click on "tech" then on "85x89 Build". It is too much to post here, or to directly link because it is a frames deal.

 

tech page

 

nice tech section CC i have a few questions if u dont mind answering

- u said that u were shooting for the 4 outer main to have about 0.0017 - 0.0018 " and the middle to have 0.0019' . What do u usually shoot for , for the rods ?

- what viscosity is the Joe Gibbs XP3 oil that ur using ?

- for your tranny , have you ever tried the GM synchromesh friction modified ? I ve had pretty good experiences with them . The redline MTL on the other hand , felt very notchy when it got hot .. maybe thats jus me ..

 

Rods were at .0020 and .0021

10w-30

Tried the GM stuff. Like the MTL better.

 

Added to my favorites. Mind if i add to my sig?

 

Not at all.

I have had a few beers tonight but no matter how many times I read this it says the same thing and is not making sence to me lol

 

The new site was very cool until the damn end. No results.

 

10 hours of making firehouse subs &gt; me

 

http://www.cccylinderheads.com/vp/2.html

works directly too

 

I know, I could link like that too but it looks better in frames.

The motor will be on the dyno soon enough, then I will update the section.

time worth spending! nicely put!

i didn't see the dyno result though, LOL

 

Yea, I would update it but theres nothing to update yet. As soon as it hits the dyno, I will update.

 

 

If you are using ARP head studs, how come you do not follow there instrustions after the first warm-up?

DOH! You caught me. I usually dont retighten them after the first heat cycle, I usually do it after the dyno. This is not what ARP recommends, but is better than never doing it at all.

 

Most never do that or re-adjust vales. It is a Honda, get it running and no maintance.Well maybe an oil change. I do a longer break-in, but I am an old Chevy/Ford guy. LOL I am getting the take it to the dyno now thing. If you you buy a chipped ECU for your specs, they do not know crap. If you get a AEM, Hondata S300, Motec, DTA, GEM, the owner does not know crap. With that I agree, take it somewhere, that someone knows something. It is starting to make some logic. Please go somewhere that someone knows what a timing lite is. I got it. took awhile, but I got it.

 

Damn, that was hard to read Don.

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Phil M &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Damn, that was hard to read Don. </TD></TR></TABLE> True, but I now understand, take it to a tuner before you FACK it up. That makes a logical argument. Never thought about it that way. Most of my customers actually know how a car/engine works.Setting ign. timing is not a 2 day internet search, I forget that sometimes.

 

So then are you for beating on the engine almost immediately or slowly increasing rpm as you put on some miles. I iz confuzed now

 

Very good read. great information. I whole harted agree with the "get it to a tuner" mentality. I can build an engine and swap one, to every thing in-between but when it comes to tuning them I'm down right retarded. I know better then to try it my self and after getting it fired up and idle like you did for the first time. Its good night and a trailor ride till it get's to the tuner.

 

nice tech article CC, hopefully this would answer some questions that people had

I heat cycle it once like I mentioed in the article. Once it is on the dyno, he gets the A/F for the idle and part throttle stuff right, and then does subsequent full throttle pulls, working up to the final redline.
