    Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block

    Ordered new lifters,valve springs & assembly lube from Summit today.Got the necessary gaskets also from a local warehouse where I used to work,now just have to wait for the delivery man so I can get this thing back together.

    Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block

    Found a new problem....decided to check the distributor a little,tried to spin the shaft from the gear end and could barely spin it.Something is definitely wrong here,shouldn't it spin freely?Gotta investigate this,the gear looks fine though.

    Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block

    Does it look like this block was machined for a roller cam & lifters? I see four holes that have threads for the lifter spider and flat surfaces for the dog bones...puzzling.

    Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block

    Not bad for 275,000+ miles,huh? I attribute it to using Castrol GTX 10w-30 conventional oil and always a good filter and changing it every 3,000-3,500 miles.The valve cover and heads are the same,very clean.

    Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block

    Got it apart with the help of a good friend and man did we get an eye full.Apperently the ''oil metering disc'' decided to break up....and the part that broke off found it's way into the check valve keeping the lifter to pump up.The cam still looks good and the face of the two lifters I removed...

    Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block

    Yes I am,in fact when I chatted with a tech at Edelbrock I mentioned I want a new cam that is as close as possible to the one I have now.Evidently the grind I have now is no longer available :(

    Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block

    So i finally got to start on my Burb's problem...removed a few external parts yesterday,today I should have the intake manifold removed and thus be able to remove the lifters.I hope there are no major damage and maybe might be able to simply clean 'em and reuse 'em.Worst case scenario I'll have...

    Reasonal place to put this i think?

    yup!That's exactly where I put mine.However I used a magnetic mount antenna on the roof.Don't forget to tune the antenna.
