ZZ 502 Question
I recently dyno'd a brand new ZZ502 (complete deluxe). The only
time I was able to get the rpm's past 5200 was on the very first pull. The oil temp was 140 F on this pull. On subsequent pulls with oil temp at 150 F or greater it acted like it was experiencing valve float.
The first thing I checked was valve spring tension. According to GMPP the springs should check 140 Lb @ 1.94 inches. All springs on this engine checked 135 - 140, which I feel is acceptable.
Next the lifters were checked. One lifter would not pump up, even out of the moter submerged in a can of oil. A few others would pump up but never get really hard feeling. So, I ordered a new set of lifters and installed them. On the first pull with oil temp at 140 F everything went fine, after that it was the same as before, 5200 rpm max, on the very last pull I got 4800 rpm before the flutter symptom. All tests were with Valvoline 10 W 40 and the zero lash setting was checked by several very knowedgeable people.
anybody have any ideas on this????............pduecy.....

Changed the shocks yesterday to OEM spec Monroe, they are still gas shocks. Disappointed that the ride is still very firm, it is not as bad but I was hoping for better. Might have something to do...
