FE Technical Forum / Re: Moroso Oil Pump
« on: March 27, 2024, 02:08:37 PM »

I have a moroso pickup with the exact same problem. How did that screen get a hole in it anyway? In that motor at the time (years ago) I was running 20-50 oil. Now I run 10w30 synthetic. Those screens are pretty tough metal.

OK, I might have been thinking about the 66 that just sold on BAT.
10/4 on everything, looks like a plug in the rear of the housing so probably correct, ignition?
I do believe the sidewinder is correct though for a 67 W code.

What parts would that be?
Car did sell though.
They worked something out. So it sold I'm sure above 127K.

If you raise the rocker arms by spacing up with washers, then you will start affecting the travel of the contact area of the rocker on the top of the valve stem.

OK, first make sure the travel over the valve stem is centered then measure push rod length. Thank you

I thought that if the adjuster was all the way down that would put a lot more stress on the system? From what I described would it be worth measuring for new push
rods to place the adjusting nut all the way up as far as possible? I notice and read guys building engines talk about .010" difference in push rod length. On my engine I would be talking about at least 1/4".
Yes, proper Ford C4AE stands are being used. There are no end support stands available other than the DOVE units which would involve taking head bolts out which since the engine has been together for decades, I'm not going to get into that. The engine is sealed. I have been asking for someone make a Billett Steel simple slide on end support stand but no one wants to make it for the High Riser.

With the homemade checker (looks great to me) how would you order push rods. Do you measure to the bottom of the cup, top of cup? I've heard order by "overall length" But if cups are different depths that couldn't be right.

FE Technical Forum / Re: 427 block with no spacers
« on: January 27, 2024, 10:09:01 PM »
I probably have a dozen spacers or more (been picking them at swap meets). If I measure and fit according to specifications, then install and spin the crank and everything feels smooth, would that be satisfactory? If rotational torque is within spec.?

Hello, I built a 427 with C4AE High Riser Heads years ago. Still have it. The Harland Sharp Rockers adjusting bolts are pretty far down (almost all the way) with about a .600" solid cam. I remember reading that there should only be a couple of threads showing below the rocker bottom. Would that "Rule" apply to all rockers no matter what type?  Is that "Rule" even correct. This motor has also broken the end off a rocker shaft with hardly any miles (under 1000 miles). I'm thinking that the push rods are way too short. Thanks

"Found out it’s a plug in the deck of the head to re-align the water passage opening with the Cometic gasket and BBM block."
If these are all new parts, then why will everything not bolt together seamlessly.

According to drawing there are 3 size spacers. Do you know the measurements of the 3 sizes? How much of an interference fit should there be?

Thanks, that is a really neat blueprint.

FE Technical Forum / 427 block with no spacers
« on: December 03, 2023, 11:19:09 AM »
Hello, if the side spacers were lost on a 427 block, is it possible to fit with new ones without line boring if everything else is OK? 
What would be the procedure?
