That's my question... where do the restrictors go???   Everyone is telling me that I should install restrictors since I'm using a solid cam, but no one is pointing me where they need to go.  Or is it like I did on my Olds, and I need to install restricotors above the main bearings??
It's not a big deal about the freeze plugs... but it was put on the work order to intall new ones.  After I sat down and looked real close, I never was charged for them, so they will probably tell me tuff... I'll just have to spend more time cleaning is all... |
That's what I thought,  and I bet I see cam bearings in the block too huh???. Well if you want your bearings to last more than 5 minutes, you're going to have to strip it, pull all those core plugs(you're supposed to do that before you take it in) and knock out the cam bearings and clean the block. You need to run a brush thru all the oil galleys because they are full of shit, and garonteed there's shit behind the cam bearings, that's a normal automatic thing that you do when you get it back from a machine shop!..
Ok I gotcha, whoever you're talking to don't know what they're talking about. You don't put restrictors in, you block off the lifter passages and to do that, you pop the press plugs on the top galley and then drill and tap the inner holes for pipe plugs, actually you should do it to all the core plugs, those press deals do fall out occasionally=massive oil leak,  You can put restrictors on the top end if you want but that's way down the line!..
They didn't put freeze plugs in because you didn't take the old ones out, but they should have called and asked if you wanted them to pull the old ones and put new ones in, they would have charged you for it too!..

I was able to get the cam installed by using a little persuasion, but then the cam wouldn't turn freely. I pulled the cam back out and took a look around. All the cam bearings but one have a slight film of molly lube on them, the offending bearing is shiny like a new penny... waaaaaay to tight I would say.
