Engine build Take 2, The rebirth of my 2270 Options

[DNHunt]

Here's the other end of the Q-tip from the inside of the case. Can you say oil leak?

[DNHunt]

Here's the windage tray and the oil pick up in the left side of the engine. There is an O ring on the oil pickup tube that needed for the oil pump to suction oil from the sump. I use a little bit of Gasket Maker on the ends of the windage tray seals cause they always want to come off the tray. That tacks them down a little.

[914werke]

So you not going with a Tuna can or Deep sump?

[DNHunt]

I'm trying to show that you have to catch a ring on the top of the oil pickup with on of the case bolts. I left the windage tray bolt to the oil pick up slightly loose to make this a little easier.

The part of the case the line goes to is the boss that breaks if you over tighten the stainer.

[DNHunt]

Rich, No deep sump or tuna can.

Here's the distributor drive with the thrust washer and spring. I think most people put this in before putting the case together. I aligned the notch in the dist body with the rotor and put the drive on the shaft. Then in it goes and I put the nut on the bracket

[DNHunt]

Here it is in the case half and nutted down. I have a crankfire ignition so I just run a dummy distributor but, it is nice for finding TDC.

[DNHunt]

I already posted pics of the crank and cam aligned. I put in the cam plug, put on sealants and dropped the left half on. Put in the oil pump and torqued everything down.

Here's the lower end. The crank turns smooth as can be.

I found this old square from my dad and I used it with vice grips to tighten it. It fit the slot very well. Then a couple of taps with a mallet and chisel and it was seated real well

The ring I was trying to show is on top of the oil pickup and a bolt goes thru a hole in the right side of the case then thru this ring and into a threaded hole in the left side of the case. The point is if you tighten the stainer more than 9.5 lbs you may break the threaded hole in the case. Type IV syndrome and ruined case

Time for crankshaft end play

[DNHunt]

Three shims .0145", .013" and .012" gave me an end play of .0045"

[DNHunt]

Here are the felt washer and the pilot bearing.

[DNHunt]

Here is the washer installed.

Good stuff Dave. This is a very informative thread as was the last one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

I should be doing deck height today but, I'm going to Walker's swap meet instead.

Other than the head stud it sure is going together nice. I haven't needed the persuader yet at all. It's a great feeling when the case halves go right together except for the last mm or so and then the crank turns by hand with a little flick of the wrist.

how does these marks hapen? there should be a big washer between the screws and he flywheel

You need to use the flywheel bolts lock plate, and you need to use a new one each time you torque the bolts, and you should of used an old one when you set the end play.

The locking teeth on the flywheel bolts, after there torqued on the flywheel a couple of times, they've chewed away a grove, now there is no material left for the bolts to lock into, so use the locking plate, it keeps the bolts from coming loose.

[DNHunt]

You guys are both right. A new washer and new bolts for the final assembly. I can't answer the question of how those got there except to say that someone didn't use a washer with this flywheel at sometime. While we did endplay we used an old washer and old bolts. When we installed it on the last build we used a new washer and the bolts Jake supplied. I can't remember when we checked endplay on the previous build. So, I can't say if it was us or not. With a new washer and new bolts, I think it will be Ok on final assembly but, I'll listen to all opinions.
