Or, in other words, where is a first time engine builder most likely to go wrong?

Incorrect alignment of cam and crank timing marks.
Breaking the eyelet off oil pickup when installing the bolt through the case. Not checking deck height and confirming compression ratio. Not lapping the cylinders to the heads. Not using correct sealant for case. Improper installation of oil cooler seals = leak Incorrect setting of the crank end play. Not surfacing pressure plate mounting surface the same amount as the clutch surface. Not that I have ever done any of those things. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
