I'm confused. I thought there was a singular lifter that didn't fit the bores and it was out of spec. Why the need for all of this?

Due to likely LS content that will get deleted later the answer to your question is probably 30 pages back by now.

The lifters require ideally .0018" of clearance to function properly or else they will

A) gall and score the bores and lifters
B) start to tick when the cast block heats up and oil cannot properly flow
C) seize if clearance is too little.

The lifter that didn't fit in the bore measured .8750" while every other lifter measured .8738-.8740

Therefore without a bore gauge, I'm making attempts to determine the lifter bore diameter with dowels that are supposed to be ground with accuracy of 0.0002"

McMaster is supposedly sending out another that will be checked before shipment

Unreal, sorry if I steered you wrong. Out of the thousands of dowel pins i have here, I would bet not single one is out of spec.

I don't think you steered me wrong, it's just the way this build goes sometimes.

The world is lucky I didn't decide to build engines for a living. I'd get 3 done a year and they would cost $116k each with less horsepower than a Lexus suv

Ok, it did get lost I saw the start of it but missed this part. Thanks. I'm just following along.

This one lifter is just your luck have you called Johnson to possibly replace thst one with one that is proper size or take it to a machine shop to have it ground to size
 
I'm sure most would not think what im about to say would be a good idea but I would get a hone and grease it up and hone it to size the grease would collect the fines and keep them from going in the engine

He will never hone all 16 lifter bores to proper spec by hand.

I gave him the best idea, but MitchH will disown him if he listens to an LS owner that doesn't also want to suck Trump's dick 🤣

Get an accurate lifter bore measurement, if the johnsons are too big, sell them if even at a slight loss and order BAM solids custom sized to suit the lifter bores. Drop them in and go. And they are probably better quality than Johnson of late

That's too proper advice, so call me nuts instead because i'm not in love with Trump's nut sack, and send Fox on more never ending journeys so he can entertain the psychopaths here that are using him as their court jester, but instead of them paying him they are using him on his dollar

Are you people honestly this detached from the 21st century? Or are you taking the piss? 600hp from an LS is a good ported oe heads and cam and intake, and not even heads if its an LS3
 
kinda cowardly to continue attacking a guy that doesn't even frequent the board anymore. Fitting for a spineless, one-celled organism...

How will you recommend that he freezes his next McMaster dowel pin? And then by the time it's placed in the lifter bore the size will have already changed and he will be just trying to guess all over again on thousandths.

Fox i actually feel sorry for you even though i shouldn't. It's not everyday i come across people falling for abusive pretend friends. All i can tell is that out of anyone here Patriot is a good dude so listen to his advice above anyone elses.

I don't think he should.
I like the idea of getting McMaster to send him a correctly sized one, but I like the idea of getting a bore gauge more.
But that's me, not him.

Nobody is abusing him.
He wants a small block Ford, and he wants to do a build himself.
The car hobby is about doing what you like.
Doing something else because it's easier or saves money is bean counter stuff.

I been trying but just can’t read every post.
Man, foxy green needs Moses or something.
Hoping this will finally be settled.

I'm still recovering from the keyboard beating he gave me on patriots thread, which he later deleted 😃🤣🥱
 
Been a week since I've been in here.



Really nice to see things have started moving along nicely for a change.........


Cars are stupit. Hope the dog is good.
 
I feel unconventional ways sometime need to be take to fix a problem.
Oh the things I have done to get something fixed
