I just built a 2056 and had a number of no start issues, I finally got the engine to start. but it looks like I wiped out the cam. So I have to start over with a complete tear down and cleaning of the block and the internals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
My question is with determining push rod length: Are you measuring the length of each push rod, or measuring the #1 intake and exhaust and cutting all the intake and all the exhaust push rods the same length? With turning the engine over and over by hand to get the correct push rod lengths you would assume it has wiped all the assembly lube off the cam lobes before you start the engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I sure as hell don't want this to happen again. |

Drained the oil and cut open the oil filter . There were a few shards of metal stuck to the magnet after dragging it over the bottom of the plastic drain pan. No debris in the bottom of the oil filter and the paper element was clean. The black specs in the cup is from the bottom of the drain pan. and are non metallic Opinions?
