Just cause we like em, here are some pictures of my engine
hanging there awaiting new parts.
Before I post, though, I want to say that I think I understand
what it will take to properly degree my cam. I am waiting
for the spacers or shims that go behind the crank timing
chain gear in order to properly aling it with the cam
gear. So, I'll be moving forward when those little buggers
come in.
Here you can see, again, pistons 1 and 6 at top dead
center. The cam gear is in place but will have to be pulled,
of course, later for proper setting.
No crank gear on the crank as putting it on and off is
a bit more headache and only hope to do this once more, if
my measuements are correct, when spacers arrive.
Notice that I have installed the after-market oil filter
spin-on type upgrade. I'll show another picture that will
demonstrate how turning the oil filter adapter a bit to
the front of the engine is a good idea as it will provide
a bit more working room when changing the oil filter, once
the engine is installed:
I show in the next picture the large bolt in the end of the
crank; the crank itself and then about mid-way back of the
crank toward the engine block is the very fine spacer/shim
I await in the mail.
This particular one is one in which I notched the inside
of the spacer so that I could slide it onto the crank and
all the way back to the engine block, where it will reside,
without removing the wood ruff from its slot in the crank.
(Stole the idea from small block Chevy OEM's).
So I guess I have to chill untill the parts come in.
Come on Mosssssssss. Ju kan do it!
