well fellas time has come to take off the top end and see whats going on, seems to me I overheated the motor with my old radiator and bad #7 plug wire. Going to work one day my temp rose to L in normal and momentarily I saw oil pressure go down and up and it never did that before, it doesnt do it after that time either. I replaced my old crappy radiator with a new all aluminum dual row rad and it works great! Problem is it smokes white smoke, oil burning smoke, Im not loosing any oil or antifreeze both levels are fine and clear. My coolant level rises in the reservoir after a hard drive of 10-15 min and starts bubbling a little bit. The smoke is more noticable when its really warm at idle and really bad when i start it back up when its warm. Im going to tear it down tommorow and while im in there im going to swap my p's for some x's "in talks will know 4 sure tommorow". It has 64cc chambers and I have a explorer longblock with a steeda stick, What would my comp ratio be??

Should be around 9 to 1 with stock pistons.

is that a good ratio for a n/a "for now" d/d. Im looking for decent low end torque.

will my headers and intake bolt right up??

militarymustang88gt

yeah all that will bolt up just need to worry about piston to valve clearance.

well the steeda 19 with 1.7's is .510 lift if im not mistaking, not that wild of a cam hopefully it doesnt interfere. Did you dyno your car yet?

woohoo gt40 x's are on the way baby!

dimebag

yea theyll bolt up

and i dont care, check ptv anyway. either with clay or a checking spring

Lift has nothing to do with piston to valve clearance. It is more related to the individual valve events for each valve.

Mainly, the period of overlap, when the exhaust valve is closing and the intake valve is opening at the same time.

I see, im not familiar with the check spring way tell me more please.
