Thank you Rick...
I also used the 64.5* IVC. Glad you used the 15 * because that is what I used ,But I added the 15* to the 49.5 instead.
My actual cranking pressure is also right there...we checked it upon first fire up of the engine. I don't have the build book with me that
we created during the build...( we blue printed this engine per say), But I seem to recall a cranking pressure of 170 PSI.
This higher pressure was most likely do to being a brand new build with the rings not being seated yet.
Using the Wallace calculator. I came up with 9.23 dynamic.... and dynamic boost was 15.34
I came up with piston travel at 21.62%..which amounts to 2.94 effective stroke.
I think this proves that this engine was well thought out and built for a specific fuel and target HP!!!!!!
WE (as in YOU and I RICK) did a fantastic job planning and designing this engine!
Also Coty and I... I feel did a great job on the actual build.
This reaffirms my thinking that it was an over heat and too small of a pump that caused the issues.
My only other concern is tat the pistons were 2618 forgings, and I only had my piston to wall clearance at .0045
I have not yet pulled the pistons out of the bore yet...but from what I can see on the cylinders, there is
no sign of seizure.
I am going to rebuild with the same pistons. I can back the boost down a couple pounds for safety if need be.
