I just built a 2056 and had a number of no start issues, I finally got the engine to start. but it looks like I wiped out the cam. So I have to start over with a complete tear down and cleaning of the block and the internals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
My question is with determining push rod length: Are you measuring the length of each push rod, or measuring the #1 intake and exhaust and cutting all the intake and all the exhaust push rods the same length? With turning the engine over and over by hand to get the correct push rod lengths you would assume it has wiped all the assembly lube off the cam lobes before you start the engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I sure as hell don't want this to happen again. |

You are going to have during break in, lots of metal parts wearing in to other metal parts and non-metal parts. With the metal being on a magnet, it is hard to tell if it is small pieces stacked or a few big pieces. I've always had a little metal after break in. That is why you use a break in oil and change it soon after break in.
