I'm beginning to think CNC blocks and raceman14 are in bed together. Both are good at spewing bs....lol Talk about spewing check this thread out Results from thinner ring pack Another clueless post. And another clueless post where I caught you spewing bogus info again =D> =D> All 604 crate heads ar...

Yea those beehive springs really kick out some serious power. That bowtie logo on the "new" heads added 10 hp as well! :lol: Read your post same head as the 2007 ya right get a life not even the same castings :lol: :lol: Yep only added the Bowtie nothing else yep same as the 2007 castings...

And the newer are engines do make a little more HP over the older 604. And then there's the "more equal then others" 604 engines, that are making even more power. The newer Crate engine show a little more compression on the whistler then the older 604's We are lucky we do a cam change, de...

The new 604 with the Bowtie on the heads show a little more power over the older heads, But a gear rule restricts those engines to 6600 RPM. All 604 crate heads are the same since 2007. They added the bowtie recently but did not change anything else on the head. Pre 2007 heads are the only ones dow...

How deep do you groove Carl? I might try that on my next build Same size hole as the original hole that is already there and the groove is about .020 deep about 3/16 wide with the carbide we use. I just use a drill press or bridgeport to drill the hole and a die grinder and a round carbide seems to...

On the SHP Pro blocks I use the GMP-1 and add another oil hole and groove on the OD of the bearings. Lot better oil control then the bearings with 3 oil holes.

I men't to agree with everyone your quench is way too wide tighten it down- way down- pick a gasket - do the math- tell (consult) with) your machinist did you measure all four corners before teardown or off the crank CL- as CNC utilizes CNC "its best to square and deck first for the best resul...

Kwik way?

that's CNC

Nope I bore of the cam and crank center lines and parallel to the main line. I don't need to square and deck.

Never seen a flat deck from GM yet so I would deck it. Plus if your going to bore the block of the decks its best to square and deck first for the best results.

The new 604 with the Bowtie on the heads show a little more power over the older heads, But a gear rule restricts those engines to 6600 RPM

In our area we the engine builders are allowed to rebuild them, deck, bore, valve job, get the compression to 10:3 and a cam change and change the oil pan.

CNC and Rats posts would carry more weight if they weren't based solely on hurt feelings. Amazing how we have a professional business owner and an engineer trying to pick fights on an Internet forum. Hard to take guys like that serious. Check Tom post out as well before you start crying about me !!...

Tried a set of mahle piston on a new circle track motor with their new 1mm 1mm 2mm ring pack. Dropped my rotating torque from 130 in/lbs to 110in/lbs compared to the same engine with .043 .043 3mm rings. On the dyno the motor picked up 20hp and 20tq over my previous best and help hp much better pas...

Does not look like a good finish for a new roller lifter, Your really need to measure the lifter bores and lifters to see what your actual clearance is.

I have seen the zebra stripes from T/S oil rings, But never had one scratch or hurt a cylinder so far. When it comes to that ring package I will use the Speed Pro 9771 ring set now they come with a second Napier rings and there oil control rings leave no marks. My circle track engines with that ring...

I use a lot of Scott wires and just got a set in today from Brian you shouldn't have any problems with his wires.
