327 Ready to fire
My original post was "Surprise under the hood" I followed Tech Inspectors advise on the build with Edelbrock Performer RPM alum heads and Howards roller cam. I ended up adding Comp Cam 1.6 roller rockers. When it came time to drop the distributor, I rolled the engine over to find TDC on #1 and had no compression. I had originally set lash at zero per instructions and went 1/2 turn more. I removed the valve cover and started over on setting the valve lash. I could only go 1/8th of a turn more without loosing compression on that cylinder. It feels right on the push rod so my question is, is this normal? Did I have the rockers too tight therefore holding the valves open? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
