How far along is the re-do?

I have finished tearing everything apart and I posted the #'s for Jake to match up the bearings. Throwing caution to the wind I went ahead and assembled the crank (cleaned everything and matched the bearings back up and got the caps all on there right). If Jake says they are the wrong bearings than I will just take it all apart again.

I called CB and got the torque for the cam gear so I will bolt that on shortly and set the cam timing. If I get the OK form Jake I will put the case back together tonight and start getting all the through bolts set up. May not torque them down till tomorrow, but we shall see. If I can ever get rolling I could have the motor back to long block in a few hours.

P.S. Redshift, I bet you wish you hadn’t asked now.

I need more numbers. call me.

torque the bolts to 18 lb/ft and use red loctite

Be VERY SURE to use the Loctite. The PO's builder didn't. mad.gif Bolts walked out, ate the oil pump, strange noises, metal shavings in the engine, BAD! headbang.gif BAD! headbang.gif BAD! Evil thoughts upsetting my karma ar15.gif

Yep, I did. My PO went the other way though, he used JB Weld!!!

I had to use some heat to get them out so I could put the gear on right.
