I have my engine back from the machine shop , I found a way to get er home.
The guy got me an engine kit , they did all the machining, including the valve job, new seals etc, bored the cylinders, installed the pistons , polished the crank installed it and thecam, put in all the bearings, new timing set,new lifters etc.....
They also gave me a new oil pump and all the gaskets seals etc.
It looks like they gave me a new main seal but I think that one got put in when they installed the crank.
I'm just wondering if I need to use some sort of gasket seal for the head gasket, the instructions said to put it in dry unless it has a metal face.....
any thoughts on this....?
I have to search the books on that I guess......
lots to do.....
polished off any sharp edges left by the machine shop, chased all the head bolt hole threads.....cleaned the surfaces with brake clean, cleaned out any debris from the oil passages etc....
also got new head bolts
still lots to do.....
here's a few pics....
Later ,
Dave
