Well upwards to $3000 later, with gaskets,water pump,lube and the nightmare of installation (headers on a BB Mopar) I’m stuck with an engine that runs like s#%! and sounds like somebody beating on a tin roof- I wish I’d just stayed with the stock setup and concentrated on the bodywork, I’ll keep...

Yes I pulled the inner springs during breakin and haven't replaced them yet, what makes it so easy to push the pushrods down when their pumped up?

Not sure what the number is on the 240's, ordered from summit for BB Mopar, yes cam etc were new and broke in w comp cam break in lube at 2000 to 2500 rpm for 30min

They make more noise at 1/2 turn than they do at zero-WTF?

Pulling my hair out-never had this problem w simple valve adjust before

Comp Cams CL21-224-4 Springs w heads TF 240

The Hyd cam kit is comp cam and lifters CL21-224-4, stock oil pump, oil pressure good at startup, top end rebuild only and yes cleaned well, the lash was set as you say, oil is 15w40, springs came w heads TF 240

This is what I have on the 440- Trick Flo heads roller rockers Comp cam and lifters Problem- Once assembled I put a full turn on rockers, ran badly on startup until warm and then decent, Upon being advised I adjusted them to zero lash just to see what I had from there, same thing, ran badly...

The harmonic balancer is from summit,the engine ran great before w it, the timing light is a quartz(?) and is accurate,the distributor is oriellys special that also ran great before

Good information,Ill try thr zero lash/rotor phasing tommorow and yes I know a mopar guy that races them and I can consult him or perhaps leave it with him if its gets to that point-Thank you...

Idle- when the engines first started its shaky AH for a couple minutes then smooths out a bit, I have an idle at 8-900 rpms, anything below that is too low-slams around sounds like...the 2000 rpm I was speaking of was just to turn distributor to 30+ advance w the distributor port pluged at carb...

As stated on a previous thread I changed the heads (Trick Flo) and cam (comp262) and cant get it to run right, the timing marks were set on 12 and 12 (amid some controversy) and it runs but no noticeable improvement in power unless you seriously put your foot in it, tried moving the timing...

Ok my heads exploding thanks everybody im heading to the garage and try some of this info

Ive done that several times the rotors pointing to #1

So get get to #1 compression and turn the engine 1/2 a turn and set my rotor to #1 plug wire? Im sorry youll have to explain it like im 5 years old

Dont mean to be irritating but your saying ill need to pull the cover back off and correct it?

Yeah it starts and runs like a dog

Yes several times-its correct

Im a little confused, so if all my timing "appears" to be correct to me and I have the gear dots wrong could I just pull the dist and turn the rotor 180 degrees?
