Reflections

Maybe in a few years I'll look back at this and reflect.


Capped Off

April 21, 2018

New day, first up was to install the balancer now that we had an installer. Oil was then poured into the engine through the valley over all the lifter sleeves, the oil was pumped till it came out the first lifter (number 8 exhaust) then the lifters were put in leading the oil forward on the right head and back on the left till they were all in, at that point the pleasure climbed to a good point. The push rods were then put in with assembly lube on both ends. The rockers were put on the shaft and assembly lube applied as they were slid into place. The assembly was bolted in place and the clearance checked, still not enough. The rockers were removed, cleaned and ground some more then cleaned again, rinse and repeat. Rocker assemblies once again installed, the engine was rotated to TDC (compression) and the rockers adjusted rotating through the sequence.
