1) I fired up my engine for cam break-in. The good is that it actually worked. The bad is several (like 4 or 5) pushrod tube seals are leaking.
Pushrod tubes are original. O-rings are viton from McMaster-Carr size 212 and 214. I still have the O-rings from the VR gasket kit but wasn't sure if they are viton. Should I use the VR kit o-rings or maybe try the square profile viton o-rings from McMaster? https://www.mcmaster.com/1170n84 https://www.mcmaster.com/1170n86 These are kind of expensive, but if they fix the leaks.... 2) From what I can tell both the clutch and throttle cable are in tubes that run along the length of the center tunnel. If that's the case can one just pull the old cables out then install the new ones through the engine compartment; no need to attack a string to pull the new cable through? 3) Can the rear axles be installed after the engine, exhaust and transmission assembly is in place? I want to install the motor first just to make garage space and so I can leave the starter in place. |
