blueskies, your website is fantastic. I have a few questions. 1 Did you measure the rod side clearance on the crank? 2 Did you measure the crank end play? 3 What kind of rings came in the kit - iron or chrome moly?
4 Did the machine shop who did your block recommend any special break-in procedures? 5 Are there any special break-in instructions for your reground cam? 6 What weight oil are you going to use for break-in? 7 Have you considered using Synthetic Motor Oil once she's broken in?
A couple of years ago HORSEPOWER TV did a Ford Flathead V-8 build-up with the help of a flathead specialty shop. I taped the episode and over the next few days will try to find it and give you their name and info. They really know flatheads and may be helpful to you.
That aluminum head on your 230 is a piece of art.
Good luck with the disc brakes.
