Thanks for the reply. The answer to your questions is yes to all except start up, I did have to shut it down after 10 minutes for about 10 minutes and then continued on for 20 more. One thing that has bothered me about the valve train is the angle of the push rod to the rocker arm when the valve is closed. I have adjustable rockers with about 4 threads showing below the rocker. Do you think the poor geometry could be the problem?

FE Technical Forum / wiped out cam bearing

Hi all, I,ve been lurking here for a number of years but have never posted. Now its time, I was going to do cam change on my 444 and  discover the bottoms of all the cam bearing are wiped out! This motor has maybe 4000 miles on it. The cam was a comp 270 H with the valve springs that came with the Edelbrock heads. If I remember right the springs are 130-380lbs.  Any ideas what would cause this?

Thanks in advance

John

Interesting, if an automatic, what stall are you running? How much vac. at idle? I,m asking because I have a similar build in a 4000 lb car with stock converter (270 H).
