Guest buickkuhn Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I bought this engine ( rebuilt by NIZEN ) from older gentlemen in hartford Connecticut that didn't realize his roadmaster had a 320 straight eight . So he bought this engine then realized it was wrong , awesome I got it though . Since being back in Michigan I have found it is .030 over pistons , all new valves , guides , springs , along with thin headgasket . I then used a dial indicator to measure the cam . Turns out to be .441 lift . With the cold lash at .015 . I have turned the motor over by hand (with a 1/2 rachet ) getting oil to the top end along with me oiling the cylinder walls and valves . The more I find out about the engine , my tri power set up is be a great combination . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
