Re: Eliminate draft tube options
looking good. soon it will be in your shop.
possibly consider a support clamp on the oil pressure sender because vibration causes cracks in the fittings. the longer and heavier the parts are then the ore chance of having an issue. I have seen some crack at the exit from the block and you don't want that. easier to whip up a clamp before it goes into the truck. you're gonna have fun driving soon. kepp posting up pics as you go |

Re: Eliminate draft tube options
Did you break in the cam? Ran it at 1500-2000 rpm for 20 minutes.
In the video the rpm sounds low. |

Re: Eliminate draft tube options
Yeah, the builder has run it multiple times including a run to burn in the cam. He’s going to run it again tomorrow for another high rpm run prior to shipping.
