If you haven't purchased them yet, I actually have an extra set of Comp hardened 7.325 pushrods.

Guys if my ls6 heads were shaved down .030 and I'm running a .051 mls gasket, what would my cc volume be?

Got the ls6 valley cover in the mail today.

Since its been said that the ls6 valley pan helps reduce oil consumption does that mean it is evacuating crankcase pressure less?

I just put my Texas speed 228r cam in,heads go on this weekend!I also upgraded to ls2 timing chain,pitted oil pump,and ls7 lifters!I'm also converting to the ls6 valley cover!!let me know how you like your heads!I'm putting my motor in a 68 Camaro and will be months before I drive it

Guys I did some clay testing for piston to valve clearence. What do you guys think? I think I used to much clay.

Greekey

iTrader: (3)

Heres another one. I mean the valves are hitting the clay but just barely. And I think im using to much clay on top of that.

Cut the clay and see how much clearance between valve and piston

Great choice!

No, the pressure is relieved equally. It's just done differently.

Intake left/Exhaust Right. I cut the whole clay in half for each valve to measure its lowest point, but I dont have a damn caliper.

Greekey

iTrader: (3)

I did some measuring with a digital caliper on my clay impression. It seems that all my measurement for intake and exhaust are over .200. But the thing is, I did these clay impressions without check springs. How much can piston to valve clearance be off if your not using check springs?

New valley cover installed.

Did you get your ptv all figured out and curious where did you buy your ls6 valley cover from?

Greekey

iTrader: (3)

Ive been trying to figure this ptv clearence thing. I have got good results using check spring and my regular springs, but people are telling me to pull out my liters to install solid lifters. Professionals have told me its not necessary. I got the valley cover from scoggin dickey.

Cool thx

yeah see with no oil pressure and full weight valve springs the lifters wont pump up so youre compressing the lifter instead of pushing the valve down. If you can find out the total lifter plunger travel you could add that to the PTV clearance. your numbers are too good to be true. thats probably better than stock lol

oh btw if doesnt really matter how much clay you use as long as you can get a nice cross section when you cut it
