Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
In the second video I wanted to check the difference between valley vents installed and removed. You'll have to go back and look at the difference between the two videos, to me it seemed nearly identical as far as the standing oil in the valley. I also believe without the three lifters heavilly oiling the rockers plus the o-ringed distributor body should dry the valley up even more.

Tell the people what happens when you run a Trend lifter with nothing in it.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
With the crank not turning your oil system and flow test is not accurate. But what your doing is good just to see what’s going on in the valley as to the oil drain back.
You really don’t need a lot of oil up in the heads in a drag race engine.

End of your first video cylinder 2 with .014 puck drill running on high that would be the most oil I would let go up top. Oil in the valley never worried about it, clicked motor off at the stripe. |

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
I am a bit alarmed, was hoping to see next pictures of engine installed back in the Nova. Was this a planned tear down to double check everything ?
