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. |

Stop worrying.
You are doing CAM break in. As long as you used a good assembly lube and kept the RPMS up during break in you are fine. Often people with grind the sharp edges of the cam before install to minimize what you are seeing. If your pushrod geo is off, you don't make as much power and the engine may not last as long, but you would have to really mess it up to kill the motor or the cam during break in. Go seat the rings and see how it does. Zach |
