Barry R. Barry, we pinned cam bearings in both the fuel rail and funny car with iron 426 blocks. Have also done this on a Pont motor,with a poor camshaft tunnel. It's racing.
As for reading, I read your book and have not cryed
. It's well done, little more reasons why this or that is done. It's alot better than the old info from service manuals that are 40 years old, but not old FE machinists.
As far as
oil pressures, it ALL depends on what the motor application is for and how much
oil pressure is at idle of the motor. How hard the motor is being abused. The stroker kits you sell and I have been running for 4 years, shows no sign or wear to rod or main bearings. It's hard to get a reading change of .0001-.0003". Still running 70-80 psi hot on the track and idle in the 35-38 psi at 750 rpm. These numbers are from a blue printed 427SO spec sheet. Going to work, how's that???
Rick L. Ps waiting for Jay's book to come out.
