My car has been sitting for too long. It's time to get it back in driving shape.
While assessing the condition of the engine, I found that the head on the driver's side has some issues to address. Here is the hardware that was holding the intake to the head: I know, right? We have seen this before. Yes, those are threads that came out next to the threaded rod/nut combo on the left. It looks like I have to drop the engine and pull that head. Question: Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in Central Florida to fix the head put the studs back in? |

There is one more thing I'm trying to figure out - what camshaft is in this engine.
Here are a couple of pictures. The stamp isn't exactly legible, but can anyone recognize the configuration of the text and possibly tell me the brand? The rebuild paperwork says the engine has a 272 degree cam, but no other identifying information. The rebuild was done in 1988, if that helps. Here is a closeup of the stamp: The lobes look pretty good to my novice eyes! And here is the dirty engine in a partial state of disassembly. It's actually a little more apart now than this picture shows. Yes, those are scratches on the door and rocker cover of my car. And, No, I'm not happy about them. |
