piazzanoob Posted September 25, 2024 Posted September 25, 2024 With the oil pressure thing. my guess is not with the Ryco z9 filter used them plenty as common yankie v8 filter and definitely haven’t had that when priming oil pressure before starting. As was done before a start on a fresh motor. not something like running the pickup too high or not enough oil to maintain that pressure? could also be something like pump spring has lost its tension as guessing not a new one? im also not sure if I would want to run a new motor knowing that could be a issue even worse if it gets lower after longer periods of engine running Quote
RXFORD Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 I feel like this needs an added element of danger to it, so gantry injection would be quite fitting. Quote

IIRC they had some stroker kits to whip them out to 2.9 or 3.1L depending on pistons, which you've done anyway with the 7M cranky. 1 Quote
