Jerry, you did not get the tops ceramic coated?

 

Nice stuff Jerry. Did you gt the package I sent you to Sharadon? I know who your talking about and I hear they are having trouble again. I thought the oil rings were not going to be in the pistin pin hole though. I will be ordering my set of pistons hopefully next Mon. I got a set of Carrillo rods from STU (thanks again). You planning on getting the tops coated? What rings and piston pins you going w/? Later,

Uniball, I recieved the package yesterday. Thanks again! When we were designing our pistons, the oil ring was suppose to be out of the pin hole. The engineers at Ross must have come up with a different design afterwards. ??? We have the Ross tapered pins that came with the pistons. Still working on the rings. We're planning on going with the gapless style.

SRT10KILLR, As far as coating the top of the pistons? We figure with the oil squirters, air to water intercooler and the water/meth injection, our pistons will stay quite happy under boost.

 

Here's a shot of the custom closed chambered design of the SP-3 heads. Velocity air speed is at 345 fps with a 77% intake to exhaust flow. I think we have a winner!

 

Notice the pretty bronze inserts for the valves! These are the only Hemi heads w/ that currently. Is that a billet t/b spacer for the water/meth injection? Good stuff man!

 

Uniball, You looked through the trees to see the forest. You wasn't suppose to look at the throttle body spacer laying there. lol Yes, it is for the W/M injectors.

 

Shakey Jake??

Do I need to limit your Mountain Dew when you stop by the shop. LOL

 

Notice the pretty bronze inserts for the valves! These are the only Hemi heads w/ that currently.

No, no there not.

 

They must have moved all the ring lands down from the top of the piston.

Correct.

 

superjay, Did you put the bronze valve guides in your heads also?

 

From what I heard there won't be many of these bronze valve guide around. The amount of time to do it is extensive from what I heard. These are the only one w/ the bronze valve guides that I'm aware of and have seen. Who else is doing this?

Jerry, I'm ready for the pistons!!! You got mail.

superjay, Did you put the bronze valve guides in your heads also?

Yes, yes I did. Most shops do it in one of two ways. Old guide is bored out, and a thick,(.500) replacement guide installed. Or the guide is bored,(reamed), .030, and a thin Wall guide installed. Have pictures ready for this, but just get error message when I try to post them.

 

Superjay, e-mail them to me and I will post gotahemi5.7@gmail.com

The ultimate shame. Using DTW to post a picture on HTC.
Thanks my friend.

 

SJ, does anyone make a stock replacement rod bearing for the 5.7 besides DCX?

 

I believe Clevite does. On another note, a manufacture I deal with called today, and said they will have the hemi valves in stock in the near future. Both in stock, and in oversize, at a good price.

 

Do you have the part# for the Clevite bearing?

Are the valves going to be stainless steel?

 

The valves will come both ways. I won't be able to ck on the bearings till Thursday.

 

Sounds good. I like women that go both ways too, lol.

 

I like women that go both ways too,

Have I ever told you about the time,---- O never mind.

 

Keep us informed on the valves. From what I was told, the 6.1 main bearings are tri metal, as are the Clevites. I'd rather have the Clevites to be sure. Update.....The rotating assembly has been balanced and I should be able to pick up everthing later this week. The heads are in the final assembly stage after another trip to Knowlton/Mondello Thunderheads for the last of the testing and tweaking. Alot of R&D has been spent on these heads, from designing the port's, valve size, intake to exhaust valve percentage, air speed and air velocity. Four and half months have been spent on these heads, but then again, this is where the horsepower is going to come from. I would like to take the time, before I forget, to thank, Sharadon Performance, Knowlton Thunderheads, Total Engine, R&R Performance, Manley Performance Products, Weldedhemi, Stu with Heat Performance and to all the Hemi Truck Club members, that has supported this project with their fast response, new tip's and technology, and helping me to get the parts I needed ASAP. (You all know who you are!, Thank you.) If I get this excited about the heads, wait until the motor is done.

 

Well, this morning, Denny went and picked up all the parts from the machine shop. All the parts are now going into the "deep freeze". The cryo process will take two full days to complete. We planned on putting the engine together this Saturday, but that will have to wait until sometime after next Tuesday. We pulled the stock fuel tank today, to start on the mod's needed for the new fuel system. I'll start posting pic's next week of the reassembly of the new engine. Have a safe weekend and enjoy it.

 

"What are you doing now?" Was the question of the day from the customers.
