Hey Kev, Great job so far, I would recommend some form of treatment for the case, that white powdery stuff will come back to haunt you if you leave it to long. You can use WD- 40 or Moovit , I always spray the whole case for storage ,just remember to clean all the sealing surfaces well before applying your favorite sealant . Double check the lifter bores for wear and the main oil relief piston bore for wear. Make sure that the bore for the distributor drive is clean, and the drive can be installed freely. Good luck on the build, you will do just fine.

Kevin K · « **Reply #22 on:** May 13, 2010, 07:52:07 AM »

now the next thing to do to the case is to drill and tap it to make it full flow
oh and also drill and ream my crank shaft to be able to put over sized dowel pins in it

this is where i am on the rebuild
i was going to put on the rods, but i need to clean them and it was late at night, i didn't want to make the house smell like solvent before every one went to bed
so ill do it tomorrow
any way so far so good it seems to be clearing every thing
it looks like it will clear the cam followers but again i need to clean them in solvent tomorrow
but hear are some pics
but unfortunatly you will need to be loged in to see them
