I realise that the video is 2 years old now, and it's an excellent video, in as much as you've detailed your problems, and how you fixed them. One thing that I will mention to you is that every time you stop the oil flowing through a gallery, with a half grooved bearing, it expands any air in the oil column, blowing the oil out of the gallery, and away from where it is needed. From long experience, Cleveland's benefit greatly from fully grooved mains, as you proved to yourself
ford used fully grooved bearings in the 1971 351 cleveland boss, and had no problems, they obviously did that for a reason without telling anybody, jusy too back up what your saying
Paul, Congratulations for putting it out there, I am so glad you did matey. You could've called me earlier and I would have helped you out with the same advice, I guess I might be one of those guys you mentioned that used to know. I have preached this but people don't want to listen and they reckon the bearing companies know what they are doing when they supply half grooves. My only question to you is, where did you source full grooves or do you buy two sets or do you groove them yourself. Cheers matey and keep flying the Clevo Flag.
@@pauldilley453 Shame no-one makes full groove that are readily available. Good onya matey and keep the Flag Flying, you are a real good peddler and too humble matey. I've seen your results a few times.
Iv been talking about fullygroved main bearings and clossdrilling for better bigend feed for years. Engine builders dont want to talk about it or think your stupid. Build your own guy,s and stay away from father son shops is my advice.
Hi Paul, thankyou for sharing the information! What Hp@RPM : Torque/RPM are you making to date with your cast iron 2V heads@351C crankshaft assembly? Cheers
@@pauldilley453Thats very good power mate. I got me Australian 2V irons as well. Not much porting work though. What durations would you recommend with this head on the street with good 1-5/8" headers and dual plane intake and a roller hydraulic cam?
Gday James, sounds like a nice every day car, i'd be thinking around 228 - 230 duration at 50 intake, 234 - 236 duration at 50 exh, 112 lobe centers, 580 - 600 thou lift no more,ring mike jones at jones cams, get the right thing first up, he will set you straight if your heads are closed chamber be aware of where your comp will be if you have a flat top piston, will be far too high for pump fuel, don;t cheap out on lifters or valve train parts or it will bite you, cheers , @@jamesmedina2062
