Made some good progress on Paul's monster motor today. I have decided to go with a custom top secrete cam 8-) This bitch is gonna scream!
I got the main bearings all blueprinted. Only one bearing saddle needed some work, the others were all fine. I also set the cam thrust. Next I will probably blueprint the cam bearings, they feel a bit tight to me, so they may need some work. Then I'll do the rod bearings. After that there are some things I want to do on the case to bring it up to CPE standards. Here's some pics of today's progress

My new work space:

Can you say "big"? :shock:

#2 bearing saddle needed some work, the areas that needed attention are marked with a sharpie:

Measuring cam thrust:

Plenty of clearance at max lift even with huge cam:

Max lift at the cam :shock: :shock: :shock:
About the same as an fk89 :wow:
