The next step is putting the jugs onto the case. I have shims in between, so should I use any sealant or should I just make sure the mating surfaces are good and clean?
Thanks, Konrad |

QUOTE(bdstone914 @ Oct 28 2017, 08:31 AM)  Why do people pile stuff all over these cars ? don't they know that is what the trunks are for ? Looks like a nice find. Can't really say it is bone stock with different engine, painted bumpers and no sail panel vinyl. Sitting for 20 years. Too bad you cant see the boxes on top.  -Big Ed |

No sealant. Old school technique is to clean everything up really good, and lap the barrels to the case with valve lapping compound, but you've got to have the head studs off, which to me isn't worth the trouble.
These cases have been know to have trouble with the barrel (cylinder) registers (mounting surface) sinking and causing leaks. You might want to lay a known precise straight edge across the cylinder registers and shine a light across to see if it's nice and flat, if it's not you could have troubles |

Piston rings are going together just fine. Maybe by the time everyone else is driving space ships, I’ll have this thing back on the road. |

And in the village, there was much rejoicing! After 10 years, parts are finally going back together.

A huge thanks to Perry Kiehl at Iron Hill Restorations for the head nuts. I forgot to take a picture of them before I put them on, but you'll see how nice and shiny they are in a minute.

The head nuts look great! I'll torque them up later on.

Great opening pic with kids stuff hiding the sports machine, and better to see this project moving. Keep up the energy and you will be tooling around with the kids before you know it
