Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I have to make a guide to help install cam bearings tomorrow. About the only tooling I could use from the B, RB engines is the engine stand the mikes, and my data recorder ( pencil and paper).

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Larry, would you mind sharing which block you are using? If you have the part number that would be most appreciated.
Thank you! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
All new parts engines need to have a bolt kit. Finding all the correct size, length, grade, and type has been a real treasure hunt. Dowels and O rings can be elusive. You can't afford to buy each bolt from the dealer. A valve cover bolt is $5.00 X 10 bolts per cover X 2 covers = $ 100. Solution for me is going to the local salvage yard and harvesting a lot of used parts. Billy will be so proud of me.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Today has been a bad day, I feel like I was a tackling dummy.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
If you need a small piece of shim stock to shim something and you live in the middle of nowhere or all the stores are closed. Open a few can goods and use the tops. I found them to .005'' to .012'' thick. This weekend it was Charlie The Tuna to the rescue, .007'' was perfect
