Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Cam is where it’s supposed to be. I should be able to fill some more holes and stretch some bolts tomorrow.
Building this on a bench has been a little different. The more I work on it the harder it is to wrestle into the next position. Has anyone looked up ring gap placement for the five different parts of the ring package. Several ideas to look at. |

Larry,
Page 2 of the Total Seal installation sheet has their recommendation for gap placement: https://assets.website-files.com/5ec...heet2010_2.pdf Bill |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
There are other sites that have a very different placement. I thought it was interesting.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
So that’s how the ring gaps sometimes get lined up over each other. It’s such a physics problem.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Getting closer to smelling smoke. Front cover, water pump, damper installed and torqued. Holding the block with one hand a pulling the damper bolt to
129 Ft/lbs it took a few try's but I got it done. Checked TDC to the ATI damper it was spot on. Today is head day. The heads are easy. Its the pushrods and valve train that is more fun than an empty barrel. |
