Thread: 70 Monte 454 Fuelie Bad Combo Questions:(

Tweet

Have not had much time but bad weather soon arrives in this part of the country.
I realize there is an oil consumption issue that must be addressed. My thinking is to replace current camshaft with one that would work better with 10-1 compression but also would be fine with 9-1. This way I would try another grind this Fall. When installing I will check valve guides/seals in an attempt to remedy the oil burning.
If the new grind does not remedy the detonation I would tear this engine down this Winter and get it bored, lower the compression to 9-1 or something more street-worthy. Obviously I should have had it bored the first time around.

Could you guys take a stab at a roller cam grind that would work with this combo?

Thanks, John

OK...Tearing it out.
Starting over.
I won't screw it up the second time!
