Starting my HCI. Tick sns 3 , prc 220 as cast , fast 92/92 on my ls1 . Car has speed engineering 1 7/8 long tubes and true duals over axle. Tick rebuilt t56, monster stage 3. Strange s60 w/ 410 . So far got passenger head off to discover a bent pushrod. Bent pushrod Damage to head from bent rod.
Sounds like you have a good combo in the works, should make good power, I have a similar setup with 225cc Tea tfs heads and a ported 92 threw a S60 and it put down 488
Cam an oil pump in with new timing chain. About 5 hours cleaning deck surface. Waiting on some big q tips just to be 300% certain there's no coolant in bolt holes. Doing tick performance rocker trunion now. Coming together slowly but surely.
Large q-tips.. good idea. I actually took a drinking straw and tapped it inside a shop vac hose and sealed around it with more tape. Pulled everything right out. I also took an old head bolt and dremeled grooves in the threads on 2 sides to chase the threads before vacuuming.
Don't forget all new gaskets and o-rings EVERY place possible. Crossover gaskets, thermostat o-ring.. they both leaked on mine after HCI. Save yourself the trouble and spend $10 on those.
I also suggest using a white rolic bristle disc on the old gasket material, both the heads/block and water pump/ block.
It really is a bitch, but finally got my pushrod length measurement. Driver side called for 7.4 passenger 7.425. sucks having to order 2 sets. Replaced knock sensor and harness. Got headers on. Just waiting on ls6 coolant cross over and plugs to finish her up.

Why would you have different lengths? between heads? i don't want to say bad things... but wouldn't that mean the heads are not at the same height off the deck?

Ughh. I'm not sure man deck was flat and even. And heads were brand new from Texas speed. . It was just a hair longer and it put them closer to 7.425 then 7.4.
Let us know what you put down #'s wise...I found an incredible deal on some stock 243's off a z06 so I just strapped those on, wish I splurged and ported them but the car put down like 398 on a mustang dyno.

Just use 7.425 All the way around and don't worry about it. More preload may not be a bad idea either If you're going to be revving it like crazy all the time. I like mine a little on the high side as my stuff sees a lot of high rpm abuse, 1 and 3/4 Just under two turns is where I like my preload to be. If a stock or 7.400" fits ok I'd throw some 7.450"s in it to be safe.. You might even get a few extra horsepower up top
Others may not like my recommendation or disagree with my reasoning however these are facts.
You can't hurt the engine with excessive lifter preload however you can ruin it with not enough. Running close to the bare minimum of preload can cause instability in the valve train as the revs increase. More preload keeps the valve train stable and ensures that you're getting the most from your cam higher in the RPM range where you're looking to make power.

I actually screwed my math up, it is 7.425 all round. I'm just waiting on my base tune from frost to fire this baby up!
So frost tune came in and got car running with no leaks. But I am having a issue with my fast 92 throttle body. I have my cable set in last hole and it holds it open slightly. This is a non tc car I don't believe there is any adjustments.
