Autometer mechanical gauge. I found the problem last night after digging deeper. Cam bearings are wasted. The machine shop used std generic bearings. I run too much seat pressure for stock type bearings. Dont matter anyways, Im on the hunt for a new block. My pistons are sticking way to far out of the block and I dont like it. Makes head gasket selection a nightmare.

You had some serious blood sweat and tears in that project. Sorry it didn't pan out.

Dang, just like that? Hopefully you got some good money out of it. Be a shame after all that work.

That stinks but I understand. I hope you broke even. You put a lot of work into it.
