Hi all,
While assembling my new engine I torqued the impeller hub to 21 f.p's. (stock spec.) In an effort to set-up the distributor I used the impeller hub bolt to rotate the engine using the same torque wrench. The force req'd was a little more than the 21 f.p.'s I had set. Although it spins with fairly consistant resistance/no "tight" spots the bolt is now torqued to 22 f.p's. Is this normal??? BTW - How do YOU spin your "static" engine??? P.S. Clutch pack is installed... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Thanx, Gary |

No tight spots.... So I take it your plugs are still out. Good question that I never gave much thought about. Now you got me thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Well Rob's motor turn with my finger tips.
However I don't have pistons and cylinders on yet... ANYBODY WANT TO GUESS WHY????? |

Yep, no spark plugs installed. Their installed in this pic - but just to keep crap out. I can spin it using the flywheel too but not as accurate (rotationally) as when I spin it from the impeller hub bolt. Oh, yeah - the oil is drained as well.
Thanks, Gary Attached image(s)

Thanx - It's just plain 'ol silver engine paint.
Hey Joe, my guess why you don't have p & c's on yet is that Santa hasn't brought your nikkies yet - or... Attached image(s)
