326 Startup.... Bad Knock...

No "new" news?

The guy who built my short block said it is definitly a lifter issue... the noise wasnt there on the cold start and hes looking at me like im stupid.... as soon as it idled down ot start xmaking the noise again. Long story short he thinks it has something to with the regrinds and wants me to measure the cam lobes and compare them to stock ones... said there might be enough material gone to cause some slack... he wants me to drive it and get my rings seated... he said a couple heat cycles might cure the issue since it goes away when its warmed up.. he said its not off by much.

So gonna try and get this street sweeper out today and se if lito cant get the tune dialed in for me.

I was worried the 28" front runners were going to be an issue with the extra weight but it tucks nicely... I dont think I will be able to run my street tire setup with out changing the springs lol...

You could always swap the stock ones back in to check.

I had to have my Comp 127550's re-ground due to damage. The base circle was decreased by .030 to clean them up. Comp said I probably wouldn't need shims but most of the other people I talked to said to shim them. I made .015 shims for under the lash adjusters and haven't had any issues to date with the valve train.

I may have a low mile set of 127350 comp cams cheap

I have a set of stock cams if you want to try them

Ok new problem lol... car wont go into gear while running... stock clutch new slave...great peddle pressure...plenty of fluid

 

[AutoXRacer]

Uh oh...clutch.

subbing

 

[Dark_horse]

I've got my vacume pump on the resevoir...should I pump the peddle or let it sit

 

[Dark_horse]

Or say fuck it and set it on fire lol

Typically you want to work the pedal...cycle the clutch master cylinder.
Air gets trapped in the slave and only escapes with cycling the pedal.

Vacuum + cycling will hopefully pull the air out the line.

But I have never had to do that. The pedal gets better the more you drive the car/shift.

 

[Dark_horse]

Lol...have to get it in gear first lol... damnit so close to driving it

 

[yz85rider2002]

Dont burn it down just yet lol. You got anyone that can help you bleed the system?

 

[AutoXRacer]

Lol...have to get it in gear first lol... damnit so close to driving it

Just sit there and pump the pedal!!! Promise it will get stiffer!!!
Just pump it like 100 times. lol

Did you prime the slave before you installed it? Meaning compressed it, and released it while it sucked brake fluid in it...?

 

[Dark_horse]

Yeah slave was bench bled... just had the vacume pump hooked up for an hour... peddel has good pressure...

 

[AutoXRacer]

So it is working now?

If not, then your clutch is not disengaging. What clutch setup do you have, transmission?

 

[Dark_horse]

3650 stock clutch.... ive got the front end up now well if that helps any... nothing goes very smoothly with this car lol
