Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I was just looking at that ring filer last week, I use a friends ABS filer and it's $1200. The Total Seal is like $700, looks real nice.

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
Today was a first. We installed the cam bearings installed the camshaft, are you ready for this, it turned. No gnashing of teeth,or anything but a smile. It was a very good day.

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.
