ok I refered to cast iron guides as steel thats what is installed Block punched out 0.30 silv-O-lites pistons all the rotation assemblies are balance i have the spec sheet on it but dont understand it much which we can discuss later if nessasary the cam is comp. 260-H 484-484 lift 260-260 or 212@.050 110.0 lobe seperation cam came with lifters, the springs are stock as well as retainers and keepers, valves are speed pro SS stock 2.02 Int - 155 Exh push rods are melling MPR-311 Rocker arms are MR-859 New stock Rocker shafts Heads are D2TE-AA milled 0.10 3 Angle valve job no Harded seats stock valve seals, Stock cast iron rings for 0.30 bore Melling HV oil pump and harden shaft Windage Tray The motor goes to the shop monday I've already gave him the heads on friday I dont see any cyl wall issues or any noticeable cyl damage wont know the rest until its all disassambled and inspected the #6 piston is 80% gone on top but still attach to rod top of rod dont show any real damage the exaust valve that let go was still attach to spring and the keepers intack the head of valve was gone 1/3rd way up motor turns over ok with socket an wrench the motor started making lifter noise after 2000k but wasnt excessively noisey but enough to bother me and felt it shouldnt have that noise on rebuild the guy stated that some was normal and (O) lash makes HP whatever that means told me to run heavier oil still didnt take care of noise also the pistons had valve reliefs cut into them like the stock dished type with the term popups type eyebrows I don't have the pt. # on pistons so i guess im asking questions now to ensure a better rebuild this time and to make sure the machinist does it to my satasfaction and of course you guys input i do have a better cam and adj rockersystem that comp sells in the box you know the pretty one blue in color for FE engines with higher lift applications the specs on this other cam i have sitting in the box is as follows .562 -.562 lift dur @.050 230 -236 would this be a good cam to run for street/ daily driving instead of the one previously mention Dave I Hope this helps you better to understand my situation any seriouse info for me would be the world to me Thanks Tim P.
