Nice measurements. Most of the roller cams were sold as blanks (like the one I have from Dave/Oregon). Oregon or someone else can grind it. Nice surprise on the rockers. What is your chamber cc?

Fun fun fun...

Lou
Lou, 30 CC and that is being generous.

Roller cam was just to find out what it was, not planning on using it on this engine.
I don't think I will need it for that Chi-Town Hustler.

What is this thing you call a rev limiter? :D

Is your cam going to work with those rockers?

Yea, I only go 1/2 throttle.

It could, but it makes it a 590 lift cam, which, I wasn't planning on.
I have another set of real 1.5 rockers that I am going to use.

If it's in 2025, Let's all 3 of us plan on Clay City, and we can all race each other. That's a year and a half to get the bugs worked out! :D :D That's plenty of time for me to do all my race prep. Check timing, fill gas tank, go race! :mrgreen:

I have the 1.6 on mine because I don't want to be stuck with a lawnmower cam.

Have you got the stick in yours yet Rick?

4 trips to the machinist today.
Going to take the pistons back to him tomorrow, he says he will be done flycuting the valve reliefs this week.

First the guy doing the cutting was at an appointment, come back in a couple of hours.
Then, I don't use the DC document, you need to center-punch the valve centers.
He gave me a transfer punch.
Then the punch didn't fit through the guide.
Back to get the punch polished using my head guys.
Then back with the parts to drop them off.
Kinda of a what else could go wrong deal, no ones fault, just murphy's law.
