Moved from topic of first start of 10 year old build to tear down, inspect and reassemble. The 10 year old build is from a 73 1.7 to a 2270. Stroked to 78 mm and 96 mm cylinder diameter. Heads are Ham/RAT with 36 mm exhaust and 44 mm intake. Both are nicely ported.
Have torn it down to the case and checking crank end play before I split the case and pull the cam and crank. So far, everything is new and looks in good order. I'm concerned about oil passages being blocked with old assembly lube so a complete tear down and reassemble is happening. Discovered stacked cylinder spacers (4) totaling .150". So looking to replace those with single spacers. So far I can only find .160" spacers from type 4 store and may just use them as impact on compression appears minimal. Was shocked to discover crank end play is .450"! Sure glad I didn't try to start this thing. Will check again in the morning to make sure I'm checking it correctly, but I'm doing the same thing on the videos such as Ian Carrs YouTube engine builds so pretty sure I'm checking it correctly. Now to figure out what to do about that huge end play. Any thoughts about what to watch out for? |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Jul 26 2024, 04:59 PM)  Previous post does being up valid topic though. What does the cylinder side of the case look like? Any evidence that the deck was machined for flatness? Easy to use a straight edge and feeler gauge to verify the cylinder mating surfaces are flat. A little bit more difficult to verify that they are parallel to the crank but this too can be checked pretty easily on a surface plate. Not sure what resources OP has for inspection tools. In Jake's engine case video, he stated that EVERY case shows un-evenness here. He said casting sag might be the reason. Aluminum casting can change dimensions slightly with age. If you don't see evidence of fresh milling, I'd automatically have it done due to his comments... These pups are old enough now to have shit like casting sag as problems. Another reason my inner self says "don't even try to build something older than your children"... Video in question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siPS_EBLxLY Well worth watching... |
