Fast, A long time ago (10 yrs+) I was inquiring about one of these heads and was told they had an oiling problem. I don't know if it was in the lifter area or the head itself. I don't remember if it was the guy that ran FOCOA or his mechanic that had the Green Machine. Was wondering if you ever heard of anything along those lines. If so what did you do to address the issue?

I haven't heard anything about it, but info is pretty short on these. To make matters worse, 10 years ago I was 13 lol
Been working on this quite a bit recently, between work and school, updates/pics are running a little behind.[This message has been edited by FastIndyFiero (edited 03-16-2010).]

It was either Keith Huff or John Parenti that told me that. Both were in FOCOA at the time and Keith is somewhere in AZ now. Don't know about John. Just don't want to see you blow it up. I've noticed a few SD block for sale that had rods go threw the side. I don't know how they address the issue of eliminating the lifters and that might have been the problem. Oh well, hope I'm wrong. Just wanted to give you a heads up ------------------

The lifter bores are inserted with aluminum plugs. At this stage I've been seriously considering moving to a dry-sump oiling system so I can provide pressure feed to critical areas in the head like the cam bearings. It will probably have to be something I do when the engine is being set up in the car with all the accessories, since I'll have to move to a Gilmer-style drive.

After finally tracking down someone who had 321SS tube in 16g and waiting to get it from SPD Exhaust, I formed the stainless transitions using my new mandrel, and they work great. Matches up with the flange and looks good to boot.

Wow, tried to read thru but had to jump to the end... I am in the parts acquisition process to build a SD4 16V turbo engine myself. Please keep those CNC coordinates so I can buy some flanges form you! I'll check in when my parts arrive here. I have to ask if you have any spare bottom end stuff, rods, pistons, crank, block?
