Rick, you're a basturd.
I didn't build the short block. This brings me to another question, but I've ALWAYS been too afraid to ask because heck, if I get bad news, then what do I do?
Wynne Speed out of Mississippi built the Short Block. Any one have good or bad experiences with them? I haven't seen any "RED ALERTS" on here, thank God. Seems to run like a champion...
It was built loose I guess because it was their "competition model". They had like 3 different 408's available, each one had different crank, pistons, compression, and recommended head choices.
Why in the heck they recommended the M83 pump? GOT ME! Oh yeah, something about wear on the distributor and cam gear...
But it's a steel hydraulic roller cam and a steel gear on the distributor, so would that really be an issue? Seems like when I was researching specs for the motor, everyone was saying "NO don't use a Hi-Vol pump" and now that it's in there, everyone's saying "Why the heck do you have a std. vol pump???"
I'm not under the car right now and won't be until Friday night or Saturday morning. Any SPF owners out there tell me if dropping the pan is simple like it should be? I'm having trouble visualizing if there is some piece of car that would make it tough.
Maybe I'll just get the hi-vol pump...
Or maybe I can dump some corn starch in the oil. Seem's to have worked for years in Mom's gravy.....Mobil1 may taste better.
Rick, I use that oil you use in my ACCORD. Doesn't seem right!!!
