[QUOTE="Darius, post: 200099, member: 61"] Howdy Richard, 1) Like MIHELA I also went with grooved cam bearings on my build. The slight added cost is overshadowed by the greater peace. (PS - make sure the installer knows which way is up - the right orientation) 2) For piston rings I've gone both ways (not to get kinky here) but my edge would be for the Moly. I also prefer Total Seal rings for most applications. Just saying'. 3) We don't really have much choice in cam gear sets. Again, the difference in price is such that I'd go with the best offered. My pockets are limited but my experience says [B]there are place NOT to go cheap[/B]. 4) Camshafts? Pick your Poison! Determine your goals and build accordingly. With these engines "bigger," in terms of cam specs, is more doable than with smaller engines. (Julius would be proud of me!) As for other suggestions: Again calling on that old fart, MadCad, keep the bearing clearances tighter. Our stock oil pumps have limited capacity and larger clearance are just another name for unnecessary leaks. Best, bro. d [/QUOTE]
