now I'm done putting on my rods on my crank and i also did the 1st test fit with every thing i the case and every thing is fitting nicely
all we have to do is put a shim or two under the cylinder then i can move on to the heads and getting them ready

Kevin K · « **Reply #48 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:51:18 PM »

but now i have the problem with my retainer bottoming out on the exhaust valve guide
me and my dad are going to sleep on it and look at it again in the morning

great work kevin!!! cool son & father project too!

Kevin K · « **Reply #50 on:** April 24, 2011, 02:09:38 PM »

thanks
me and my dad have a lot of fun with it
and just today we fixed the problem with the retainer bottoming out on the guide
it turns out that i had ratio rocker and we didn't even know it, that combined with the valve guides that we put into the head had a very high shoulder on the top was the problem
so i put stock rockers on it and it fixed the problem

iv got almost all of my tin fitting good
i just have to get my front apron piece to fit with the header that I'm using
then it take it all apart and paint and put it all back together

no it hasn't ran yet, I'm waiting on fittings for my oil filter and some oil hose.
but it is technically done right?
and that paint was one very long process and involved a lot of work
but worth it in the end.
