so since many of you know i had crank bearings going out in my motor i did a rebuild on the lower end. i also replaced the crank, cam, timing chain and gears also with a high volume oil pump. when i pulled all of the covers and oil pan off i found that my timing chain had a lot of slack in it, so much that it actually ate a groove in the timing cover. so i've gotten all the covers and oil pan painted up along with the intake. i haven't gotten the motor quite put all the way back together but that will be done this weekend. here's the photos that i have so far so enjoy!

You definitely outdid yourself. Great job on the paint. Can't wait to see what it'll look like fully assembled in your truck.

Looking good! Doesn't look like you are applying the paint sparingly

the engine has 5-6 coats, the intake also has like 5 coats, the pulleys, covers, and oil pan have about 3-4 coats including clear coat due to the black paint hazing over on me

Someone once suggested to me that timing chains strech. Perhaps they do a tiny bit but what causes that much slack is that the fiber teeth that used to be on the cam gear have broken off of the metal part of the gear and fallen down into the oil pan. so be sure to check your oil pump pickup tube for bits of the fiber teeth if you are reusing that part. I have seen this many many times. supposedly the factory put the fiber teeth on for less noise. The replacement gears dont have the fiber teeth!

well a new high volume oil pump is on the list of new parts that i am installing on the motor. it probably wasn't the factory gears and chain. but the chain had stretched so much that it ate a groove into the side of the timing chain cover. the only fiber teeth that i have seen was on a ford 400 that i had used for parts when i rebuilt a 351m to a 410 stroker.

well the motor is put back together for the most part and it looks so perdy!! too bad i forgot my damn camera

Stepside65 · 10-21-2007, 01:20 AM
