You got it, going to run steel rockers this time, I see you are running ECZ-C heads, what's up, are you having better luck with them, better than the G?

The Dove rocker arms became problematic.  Harland Sharp have been great.


Lawrenceville, GA

If I remember right, we put stock balls to alu rockers.
We got no spare G heads so we have to live with what we have.
Our N/A spare engine (11.8s) have those but got no titanium valves or flame ring groove.
Head itself never had a mechanical problem, but maybe some other heads might be more powerful but we dont know.

Ok, the drivers side head just touches the piston, a little more grinding (this is a lot of work)

 

 

 
Now the right head done (3 spots).

Oil pump done, this is a 1961 Ford reman, I took it apart and increased the spring pressure (spacer) nothing else done, I had to make the shoulder bolts out of longer bolts (stainless allen), this holds the pump better.
 

Last check for clearance, white grease on pistons, head installed, engine turned over, No Touch (: . 

Drivers side head needed more work, this is going to be a tight engine .039 head gasket, piston .010 out of the hole (.029 deck clearance)

New problem, pistons hit the spark plugs (closed the gap) found shorter plugs that fixed it (AC R86T), have to look at everything on this engine

More stuff, here's the the rocker arms I'm going to use, real FoMoCo shafts
