Good afternoon,
Gents thanks for your input so far. This did help towards finding what we think is the issue: the main bearing shows severe wear to the side of the block and started to rotate as well...causing the oil pressure leak. Unfortunately the main bearing caps are gone / worn down. We...
Some more info
the original engine documentation confirms 8-10psi at 1k rpm idle is ok. I suspected to have not enough oil or an issue with a wrong dip stick… but it is a standard hemi pan 6qrt and 6qrt of oil came out. I checked one rod bearing and it is brand new. Need to check clearance on all
thank you all for providing suggestions! a couple of responses:
i have a stock oil pan with 6.25qt and a stock oil pump - no high volume pump (reducing the pobability of not enough oil in the pan). There is no water in the oil, we had pulled the pan but it all looked like expected. Running a...
Hi Doug,
thanks for getting back, i did not built the engine / nor have i taken it apart (yet) but from what I can judge:

Thanks so far, the cam has:
thanks, the cam above has:
duration 274/286
duration @.050 230/236
lift .488/.491
lobe lift .325/.327
i hope i didn't miss anything
thanks,
from what I find lunati grind 10230703 is the last one before things end up beyond 2800 stall and nitrious. However lift and lobe are identical to the above. Which one would you recommend specifically?
thankyou lewtot184
I tought the clearance was enough actually, but I ll see upon assembly ;)
regarding CR.. I only have 98 octane or more on my part of the planet and wanted to use that potential. Regarding your thoughts on the cam, I thought about the xtreme energy listed above or a magnum cam...
Good morning,
I am currently planning a maxwedge engine setup and have chosen parts to my best knowledge. However I have no experience with a streetable Maxwedge setup so I was hoping you could give me a hint in case I awefully misjudged something.
