Apologies Brutus, you no what I mean

You guys can't even decide what cubic inch this engine is. It's got no chance.

Adam when you fix up the spray oiling, why dont you feed the oil through a Y block to a Nos style jetting, easy to change the pill to adjust oiling at the heads, and reduce flow ??

These heads use the -3 lines from rear of lifter gallery to each head , the jet/orifice can be changed out no problem to each head , had to spend the day @ home today , so not much goin on , tis me birthday & she would'nt let me go to the garage.

Happy Birthday Adam

Yeah...."Many a B returns"

Happy Birthday Adam, where is Alan taking You

Thanks .

Those heads sure look a piece of work sitting on the block , won't be too long now.

Had to shave the engine mounts down to clear the pad on the block , also had to fiddle with the oil line from pump , hoping it all works out when i trial fit the block , can foresee some issues with fouling on the K frame.

Ad, happy birthday ...and keep these posts coming...interesting mate..

Rich...

Checked rod bearing clearances , all @ .0025 thou with rod bolt stretched to .0065 thou , so all good , although #6 is still haunting me.

Checked P/V clearance @ 15* before & after TDC ex stroke , no probs , got around .350 lift , checked with a dial gauge on valve retainer preloaded from .100 to .350 , still no problem so good enough.

Rocker shaft hold down bolts go into intake ports , so had to seal these up , also cleaned oil ways to valve adjusters , as these oil the pushrods from spray bars.

Checked oil pump clearance , tis around .005 thou so ok @ that , just need the torque specs.

Got some done today , will be fitting tommorow , so hope no major issues

Oh , nearly forgot , final coat went on block the other day , no brush marks either.






























Only messin Mark.

Adam,
I don't have official figures, I personally would torque Oil pump to around 35/40ft lb

Harris # 4730 - Extra Long bristles - excellent brush, no brush strokes visible, ensure you use Tech Oil # 7770099 for cleaning brushes
