You have chosen the wrong connecting rods. Those are Scat rods and are the WORST rods for doing what you are attempting..
also, is that a TI or Chevy journal??? If its a TI journal (2.165) you are not going to get the crank and rods to clear before you lose the integrity of the rod from clearancing. Reduce that base circle as far as you can, thats about 1" according to the cam grind then start over. A base circle that small wears the hell out of the valve train and lifter bores and changes the acceleration speed of the valves, promoting failures...... I am so used to this that there is nothing to it. I have the combos of clearance memorized. You are about to realize how cheap my engine kit really is, it takes most guys experiencing this before they wake up. Its all in the combo............. I learn something better everyday. |
