351w w/cleavland heads
Can't understand it! The build up of the engine was to spec.
ENGINE HAS:
CLEAVLAND 2 BBL HEADS W/STAINLESS VALVES
COMPRESSION 10.7: 1
HYPEREUTECTIC PISTONS CLEAVOR STYLE DOME .40 OVER
ROLLER ROCKERS ON 7/16 STUDS
LARGER PUSHRODS 3/8
CLEVITE 77 BEARINGS
THE ENGINE IS VERY VERY TIGHT
I HAVE TO USE A BREAKER BAR TO TURN IT OVER
I'VE DOUBLE CHECKED THE CRANK AND ROD JOURNALS
AND BEARINGS MATCHED (ALL WITHIN TOLERANACE!
CHECKED THE RINGS TO SEE IF THERE WAS A MISMATCH (NOT)
CHECKED THE RING END GAP TO MAKE SURE NO BINDING (NO)
THE CYLINDER BORES ARE GREAT AND THE PISTON BORE TO PISTON CLEARANCE IS GOOD?
WHAT AM I MISSING? WHY IS IT SO TIGHT?
HELP!!!!!!
