I dont see a torque wrench in the pic. You set your rods with that vice grip. Just kidding. What cam are you using? Carb or FI? 2.0L ?

IPB Image Where is your rear main seal and "O" ring at????

Not to worry, vise-grips are calibrated IPB Image Everything torqued down properly. Actually, after getting this far, my son stopped by and we reassembled the cases. I will post some pics of that a little later.
It's going to be a stock 2.0 w/D-jet and a slightly modified Elgin cam and euro pistons. Gonna continue on today and hopefully get the P/C's and heads on.

Sounds great GOGO Djet. I like the Djet

Okay, so far I have the cases back together, the distributor indexed and in (Had to rotate the clamp about 45 degrees though IPB Image ) hopefully correct. Motor is up on the stand. Got the oil pressure relief in and the oil pump (Except for the front plate due to a torn gasket ) installed. Didn't get the heads lapped today so hopefully tomorrow I will have time for that and to install them. And my camera has problems IPB Image .

Now which way do these Euro pistons go in? They have no arrow. And what's up that they do not come with the retainer cir-clips?

looks good kemosabe.. I did the same aluminum paint on my fan shroud too, looks good!

Posted by: jd74914 Mar 14 2005, 07:53 PM

What kind of paint did you use on the tin and fan shroud and what colors. I really like it , and my engine is getting pulled for a rebuild soon?

Posted by: Headrage Mar 14 2005, 09:16 PM

I used an industrial enamel on the tin that we have at my office. I'll try to find out who makes it. All I know is the can says RED. The fan housing was painted with regular rustoleum aluminum paint.

Posted by: newdeal2 Mar 14 2005, 09:31 PM

Rusto is actually pretty good. My tins and fan housing are holding up fine so far.

BTW...those don't look like euro pistons...I see a dish. Mine are dead flat.

Actually that's a raised area. Seems to fit okay.
