Reply to "Bad Noises from Cleveland"

Dave 2811, I just finally got my car on the road. Only took 2 years. I'll take picts some day soon and post them. I built the cleveland myself using George's formula / advice on this forum. In installed the bushed lifter bores and the restrictors. Was not difficult to do. I checked static compression ratio with the Trick Flow heads and the Ross pistons he recommends. I got 10.7:1 not bad. The engine runs really hard with instant torque. Unfortunately I do not have a comparison of before and after as the car never ran when I bought it. I run about 80-90 psi cold and 45 psi or so hot. Hopefully it will survive for a long time.

I too have had problems in the past with shoddy work from machine shops. This time I only sourced out the maching work and did everything else myself. I'm glad I did.

BTW George thanks for all your help.
