It's been raining cats and dogs all morning, so I haven't crawled under it yet.
There is no windage tray. And you're right that wouldn't really help in low rpm applications.
That was my mistake earlier, I forgot that I put the roller motor in my S10. This block has the fuel pump boss plugged by the factory, but is pre-roller. One of those kinda inbetween years.
Factory roller motors will usually have two or three bosses down the webbing rib above the cam in the lifter valley for the lifter hold down plate. The tops of the lifter bores are machined flat instead of having a little 'crown' and the face of the block is clearanced for the roller timing gear.
Good idea, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut..... the motor had a standard hyd. cam in it before I rebuilt it and it ran fine. Something obviously went south when I rebuilt it.
This just gets better don't it?!?!
And Tuts I know what ya mean, I'm almost to my 100th post. Whooohoooo!
