Have you pulled the plugs? When you say valve float, you're worrying me here....you could have slapped a piston with a valve.

Hate to say it but you might have some bent valves

That's what I'm thinking too. Putting a cam in without doing the springs, and then raising the shift points past 6200 you're pretty much asking for trouble.

Hmmm...so the ballancer was ok? Any way lol you should definetly do a compleate rebuild on it. New cam,Crank and rod bearings. Line hone it before you put a new crank in it for sure.And also hone the cylinders with a torque plate and put new rings on the pistons. shoot may as well buy a forged rebuild kit. You already have a short block so why would you buy a new or used one? just rebuild the one you have. Just my .02

That's what happens when coolant gets into the bearings. sux

well the balancer im not sure on it looks like it wobbles when it runs when i put a new one on the car wouldnt even start!.... i think the whole timing to be out was caused by the knock sensors picking up the noise from the spun bearing and thinking it was kr. what is line honing? i planned on having the cylinder walls done with new rings and bearings. as far as forged internals....im only n/a right now so that might be a bit over kill. i didnt look like any coolant in the oil but i kno some got in it before we started it up but we changed it out soon after. couldnt dirt cause a bearing to be spun?

yep. a grain of sand can do wonders



what is line honing? Line honing is when the make sure the mains (where the crank bearings are at) are perfectly straight. Then they put new bearings in. wether they have to be oversized or not just depends.


didnt realize you were running N/A so yeah forged would be over kill.
