Hey all
Been on here a while, lots on the other forum, but came here to ask some higher end questions that perhaps won’t get as much feedback over there. Here’s the build:
6.7 block, 5.9 crank, .080 longer Carrillo rods, oem 6.7 coated pistons, Colt stage 4 cam (similar to Hamilton 188/220), ported head (stock intake shelf) 7x13, 13mm ppump, 64.5/485 compounds. Looks for 10s and 1000hp or bust. No nitrous planned yet
Short block specs (checked them all myself):
Mains clearance - .0035
Rod bearing clearance - .002 plastigauge on each side, .004 micrometer, so I say good
PTW- .0065
D+J tool steel wrist pin clearance - .0015
Connecting rod side clearance - .009. Machine reliefs in rod caps? If yes just at the bottom or the whole cap and would it need a rebalance?
Top rings - .016-.018
Second rings - .043-.046
Oil rings - .021
Does that look good for the bottom end? Truck is a hot street truck, daily driver, casual drag, set up to handle 5000 rpm.
Thanks in advance guys
