Here are some engine pics from the beginning until now, enjoy.....
This is where I started:
You may remember this one.....
I finally got a Weber...
The tear down!!
Reassembly....I was scared to death!!
Got'er done!!
After I finished assembly and reconnected all the parts, she started right up.
Ok...I gathered everything together that I needed to put things back together on my engine. Thank you Atom for the use of your tools bro!!
Well here are some pics of the engine and everything.
Block prep before head:
I don't know if you can tell, but I ported and polished the intakes:
I got my head on strait:
I lined up my cam sprocket to the # 2 position:
Front cover went on without a hitch:
I even came away with the obligatory meat puppet:
Yeah...that will leave a scar: I don't remember seeing anything about this part in hainz's video!!
I did the lower end today....OMG! I started at 6am and was finished at 3:30pm. I was soooo nervous about doing this and it turned out to be a peice of cake. Thanks to everyone who has helped me out with this. She does not smoke anymore and I have tons of power!
Well here are the promised pics, I did not take too many because I was a little more concerned about doing the job right.
Here is the first piston I took out, the rings were in very bad shape and so were the bearings. I replaced rings and bearings.
Here is the crankshaft, it was in good shape.
Hahaha....the tool of the devil!
Here is the first piston I did before honing.
And this is after I finished all cylinders.
Now one question.....what is the rules for breaking in the new rings and bearings?? You know, the do's and dont's. Thanks again!
