Thread: 383 Stroker Build

Remember that on the overlap stroke(both valves open) The exhaust valve is closing as the piston chases it -sooooooooo, valve spring tension is critical so theres no float or bounce off the seat---The intake is opening and chasing the piston down from the top------I have and don't even squirm about as little as .040 clearance on the intake---Unless its a blown nitro engine--------------

Only turn crank over two rev and then check-many turns won't help anything
spray chamber with wd40 and clay won't stick

I stopped by a Hobby Lobby for some normal model clay----its too hard and I'm afraid would bend the valve stems plus not flow easily into nooks and crannies-Its going to continue to be PLAY DOUGH for my work-----
