Chevrolet 235 Engine on Simtester

A 1960 Chevrolet 235 cid engine on the Simtester for a lost-stress break-in. A great way to pre-initiate the cam and lifters prior to engine start-up and break-in.

why are the valve springs tilted forward like that? im from autralia and our 253 is a v8 so that would be a nice cruisy six :)

@mykidlets - The 235 uses the May Fireball combustion chamber, its a bit different than the trench or bathtub styles.

One man's explosion ans another man's controlled burn - semantics.

I look at how a transmission works and think about how smart the guys that came up with them were! People who don't know what all goes into making them work really can't truly appreciate that. Of course harnessing multiple explosions to cause locomotion in a desired direction is no small feat either. :)

Chevrolet continued improving the straight six from it's inception up to the 292 came in. That was through the 216 (babbitt) which was through 1952. The 235, 250 and 261 were improved on until the 292. That is about as far as technology could take the straight, overhead valve, six. It was a hell of a good tough engine. Junk pile? I don't think so. Generally, It is the engine of choice for old chevys.

Could you please explain the benifits of this type of simulated runup ? I carefully lube (not to over extent ) . Just curious...

[JohnxWaynexGacy]

That valve train looks so much more stable then factory sbc stuff. Stamped steel rockers, and pushrods that could bounce around when the big heavy valves start floating. I bet this is a really good engine. Just out of curiosity, does the timing cover interchange with sbc?

That music is horrible.Isn`t the whole point of a video of an engine running is to hear the engine.?
