FE Technical Forum / RPM STELL CRACK
« on: July 18, 2020, 04:27:12 PM »
This may be a stupid question, but is there an oil galley/plug in the pilot bearing hole at the rear of an RPM STEEL CRANK? I have an oil leak showing up inside my bell housing and it looks like it is coming out of the pilot hole and oil is in it behind the pilot bearing.

Hello Everyone,

Brent, I thought the same thing. But I will check. Can you tell me which allen screw plugs to remove to check?

I went to Morel site and Lunati is a distributor for Morel. Tech told me these are Morels Hi Rpm. Maybe I can send them back . I just got them today and they say Lunati on the cross bar. They said these were the Morel HI RPM. What the hell! Thanks Brent.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I checked with my builder and the block(1966 427 sideoiler) has been drilled for hydraulic lifter. I did some investigation into the Crane 35532 hydraulic roller lifters that I have. Crane tech support said they were good for 450 lb springs,so like Brent said, my 435lbs on the build sheet my equate to about 450 lbs. That being said I called Morel  and decided to stay with hydraulic rollers. Morel's HI RPM HYDRAULIC ROLLERS recommended spring pressure 100-225 seat pressure and 350-550 open pressure and 7000+rpm capable.(part#72440-16) $$$ I will post the engine dyno video and sheet before I lost the lifter.  675 hp and 650 torque. Thanks again!

Brent,

You are correct. These #s were from the builder. He gave me the Comp Cams part#s too. So I posted his #s, which dont match Comps. I am confused too but havent reached out to the builder yet. Do you have part#s for the best springs and Morel lifters I should use? Thanks for your help. John

The spring pressure was suppose to match the cam. I bought the heads loaded. Could my high spring pressure have caused the failure of the lifter? Should I get new springs? Thanks

I have a Crane Cans short travel hydraulic lifter (35532-16) failure at only 1,900 mile on the street. When I pulled the lifter it was collapsed. I poked at it until it came back up but it feels weak. I want to use solid roller lifter with the hydraulic roller cam. Thoughts?????

Here is what I have.
1966 Side Oiler FE 427 4.250 bore and 4.250 = 482 ci
Bear Block Heads 74cc with Mahle Pistons 930264550     10.6:1
Comp Cams 33-000-11 .669 intake lift .666 exhaust lift
                   adv. dur            303                303
                   dur.@.50            248               248 lobe sep 110.00
Comp Cam springs 26055-16 1.204" 155@1.925
                                                      435@1.275
Blue Thunder 2x4 w/ Quick Fuel matched 750 cfm
Crane cams lifters hydraulic rollers 35532-16 body dia. 874 follower wheel dia. .700 pushrod seat height 2.320

I did not measure the push rods. Hoping to find a lifter that will work with the one I have.

Anyone done this??   Thanks
