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.

Title: Re: my engine build
Post by: Kevin K 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
Title: Re: my engine build
Post by: Kevin K on May 17, 2011, 07:51:15 AM

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.
