Ed talking about the vacuum pump reminded me of back in the late eighties when racing was exploring V6s. a friend was an assembler at Ruggles Race Engines He said they had their engines down to only a 5hp variation at the most on their high output V6. One day when rushing to get an engine ran on the dyno it produced 50HP more than expected. Everyone was scratching their head as why this engine had more than expected power. What they finally realized was in the rush to dyno they had installed two unvented valve covers. The dry sump was pulling a vacuum on the crankcase and negative pressure under rings helped to pull intake charge in. Guess which valve covers all the engines had on them from then on
Rodney! Great story! Thanks for sharing this with us! 👍👍😎
Ed has the happiest person i know lol
👍🙏
Reminds me of the very early IROC series when they used TRACO engines. All built as close to the same hp as possible. Some drivers complained of low oil pressure.... 40 to 45 lbs max during the race ! None of em ever had bearing problems ... ! All the engines had the same low pressure.
Ed is THE MAN 💪
No substitute for years of experience
All these years later, and I didn't realize at the time, but Fords used twist the hex shaft that drove the oil pump off the distributor. I used to sell a lot of those. This was in the 70's. I had a dream job. I ran a parts store and had a race car. 69 Nova. Chevy was easier.
the man is smart !!
Intriguing as always!!! ❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲
Absolutely appreciate you both!!!
And thank you for the encouragement!
I always thought it was strange that folks worried about those vent holes in the lifter valley on Gen 1 SB but aftermarket blocks have all that cut out in that area so it makes me think it isn’t an issue or the aftermarket would have addressed it.
On my 390 stroker FE Edelbrock to put too big a holes in the oil feeding the rocker shaft and at 5,000 RPM I had no oil in my engine oil pan or almost no.
Yep can confirm: a high volume oil pump alone puts all the oil at the top of the motor= good way to destroy a motor
Straightforward way to put it 🙏🙏
❤Edd I've been having phone problems IAM enjoying your videos I will watch all of Thanks I have many engines all flavors

I'd like to hear Ed talk about valve train oiling, specifically spring cooling in circle track and endurance applications.
That’s a great idea, I’ll ask Ed in the future video 👍
Is there a video of all this not cut off in the middle of the conversation 😂😂
No - it’s a conversation not a lecture… sorry about that! 👍
Does he have any info on the 455 buick oiling system?
I’ll ask Ed!
If I could just AFFORD a ED SMITH SBC
The next time you talk to Ed, I would like to know his thoughts on drilling the main oil galley on a small block out to 1/2 inch and the lifter oil galleys out to 7/16 inch. Is that something he does or does he feel its bad or unnecessary? Thank you
I will ask Ed in a future interview!
@@BarryTsGarage thank you
