I have a 89 5.9
got it mocked up, fitted and running
Like my other post "Out Of Time"
The tracks have closed for the season, missed it by a few days, due to weather,
to get to make a base run to see what it would do.
Rather than wait til Feb.
Am going to pull the engine back out
I'm going to pull the head,> port it, 60 lbs springs
shorten the depth, and widen the oil pan sump
So since the engine is head-less and pan-less
Thoughts turned to increasing compression
If I'm "Out There"
let me know
haven't calculated how much yet,
to remove from the deck, pistons, etc, until i have the head off
the plan is
Deck the block,
mill the pistons > to get back needed head, and valve clearance
balance engine
shim the injectors ( distance that the block was decked, so that they still spray in the same spot, in the bowl as before the machining
basically, just moving the bowl up, to gain compression
I have the time and machinery, except for balancing the crank
What do you think>.
a Waste of time ???????
I'm thinking more compression> less timing
