Some more

GerhardH · 10-15-2020, 01:48 PM

Fuel-,oil pump and cylinder heads

The small plastic bushing in my opinion don't needed if you have an oil pump shaft with a guide (both in picture 1).

Copper oil pump gasket SUM-111480, in my opinion normally not needed, but can't hurt.

GerhardH · 10-15-2020, 01:52 PM

Head bolts ARP #134-3701 (12-point)

16 pcs 1.750" UHL
04 pcs 3.060" UHL
14 pcs 4.180" UHL

Working perfect.

Torque: 70 ft lbs

GerhardH · 10-18-2020, 08:46 AM

Preparing rockers, pushrods etc.

Despite I ordered the same part number EPR 34B (8 pcs. each) twice I received two different lengths pushrods=== TIME DELAY!!! Lesson learned: Always order one complete set.

Right length 7.794“
Wrong lenght: 8.544“

Time for preparing accessoiries.

GerhardH · 10-18-2020, 08:54 AM

Preparing valve covers.

Grommets are perfect:
PCV Valve grommet 42052 Dorman and/or WVE 2P1006

That's gonna be a nice engine!

GerhardH · 08-09-2021, 10:08 AM

Last entry from 10-18-2020, 04:56 PM , was completly frustrated, because of the not matching valve timings (tested with Summit Degree Wheel), after studing and learning alot now new hope, start soon.

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-10-2021, 06:45 AM

Goodness, you're getting technical. I'm glad to see you're still around....

GerhardH · 05-26-2022, 04:24 AM

I JUST came across this thread.

I knew this was going to happen

I gave, made, sold many parts to Gerhard and tried to give him a lot of common sense advice but being a German engineer he was determined to complicate the living dung out of everything.

I always wondered if he'd frustrate himself into packing it in which looks like finally happened - so sorry , too bad

Noooo! Say it isn’t so. Call it temporary, leave the door open just in case another truck happens to cross your path.

LT7A · 05-28-2022, 05:52 AM

Oh man, hadn't seen this build before, was just getting into it. I've never seen such detailed care taken in engine assembly. Good luck Gerhard. Sorry to hear that you sold it, but sometimes that has to happen. Hope to see you back. It looks like you got it all together. How did it run?

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-30-2022, 06:58 AM

You can still stop in Gerhard.

cornerstone · 05-31-2022, 05:00 PM

I'm surprised! What's the next project Gerhard?
