Arrington has good stuff IMO. they have a lot of stuff for a range of stroker motors.
You can buy trays from them. And for their heads all I can is they work.

Owww Ahhhhh those are PURDY heads !!!!!!
Ops have to wipe the Drool off my keyboard
And only $2300 is that each or a pair ?
Let's see how can we swing this ..........:brows:
Ow how about .....


Dear Santa,
Iv'e been a very good boy ...................................

Plus a $1500 core charge ,
you think they will take these heads for a core ?
Both heads lost the end cylinder intake seats

 

[04sthemi]

So $3800 unless you ship back heads?

 

[Redtruck-VA]

Arrington will negotiate core charges. When I bought my heads I bought a cheap pair from ebay gave them as core. The short blocl I bought I told them I'd give them $600 for core and they accepted. And now there are Edelbrock heads available with no core charge. I also have a pair of maxxed out RLD 6.1 heads that I have a ridiculous amount invested in that I'll let go cheap with no core charge. Good head is addictive...

I think redtrucks heads are worth looking into

Good head has gotten me in quite some trouble over the yrs.. I’m just curious if I read it right on my previous post an that’s the initial charge? Shoot me a pm about them 6.1s

These are for the serious addicted, I have over $3,200 in these 6.1 based heads including having them flow tested. Anyone interested in them can pm me a offer.

I found a couple other guys that had clearance problems with the Manley Timing Set , they may have that cleared up by now but why take the chance,
I ordered the Howards Timing Set, Howards Cams #94332 , should be here in a week.

 

[oldmanram]

I've been out of town the past week , the last thing I did before leaving was to get the motor on the stand, visual inspection looks good.

and I'm back !!!

Checking piston deck clearance ,
Looking like +.001" to -.001 pretty consistent,
This is using the piston pin axis measuring method.
Had a couple things show up at my door while I was gone .
Photos later today !

No Problems with rod bolt to block clearance

Crank End Play is at .0055"

Melling 10342 oil pump
with extra high pressure springs for
YELLOW stock 50 PSI (installed from factory)
RED 60 PSI spring
Purple 65 PSI spring (for 6.1L Hemi)

 

[oldmanram]

Nice Finish on the pump , LOOKS like a quality piece

 

[Redtruck-VA]

I don't remember which spring I used. I read the higher pressure spring was for 6.1 blocks with oilers. Of course I had to take it apart and pretty sure I used the heavier spring even though I don't jave oilers.

 

[Redtruck-VA]

Note: higher the pressure more hp to turn the pump....

 

[oldmanram]

Yeah, I haven't decided yet , but it's between the 60 psi and 65 psi springs, kinda leaning toward the 60 psi ,
But I always invite everyone's opinion :facepalm:
