Well my Wilson Proctor remanned engine is now up on the stand.
As soon as I can print off and scan as an image the build sheets I can upload them for all to see what was done. It is alledged there are about 7000 kilometers or 4000 miles on this engine....
I have MOST of the gaskets I need but two or three small ones...wait four..will need to be picked up. Rear seal cover plate, lower rad hose adapter, front timing cover, water pump and thermostat. I have all the rest......I think....lol....oh ya fuel pump block off plate...lol
Core plugs...check...may get screw in plugs yet...dunno.
Head studs are here in stock.
Deburred exhaust manifolds...check!
Items needed to procure.
Cam
Zero gap second rings
Main studs
Main girdle
If pistons look good and I can afford it I may ceramic coat them...may
This will provide a solid foundation for building up for long term reliability and increased Torque and horsepower as an added bennefit.
If all the bearings and so forth look good no changes will be made. However if I see ***** I do not like I will correct it.
Before tearing this engine apart I will thoroughly deburr it externally and as I tear down chase thread holes and counter sink them.
EDIT....More correctly put I will CHAMPHER the bolt holes for stress releif with a countersink bit...this detail and how I had put it was not clear as Brian asked about countersinking....I knew what I meant but it was not clear by what I said!
If viable I will pull engine right down and send out for tanking or washing to rid the coolant passages of all residual oil from a blown oil cooler....my understanding is it was NOT this engines cooler but the one in truck previously and the owner did not properly flush rad thus contaminating the block and so forth.
Things like:
Harland Sharpe rockers
Big IP
Custom injectors
These items are mostly an external item and can very simply be exchqnged out later as finances allow.
Thanks to years of collecting and hording parts I am in a position to finally make a decent engine capqble of good power.
Now to either go see Russ with a big box of TURBOS or ship em...and get a replacement HOTRODDED 093.
Add my IC...again thanks Russ
Add propane if I can
And ya it will be a pleasure to drive.
I will remove fan clutch, fuel pump, fuel filter bracket and serp alt bracket and exhaust manifolds.
The Turbo engine Oil cooler will be going on this engine too.
There are plenty of sandblasted and painted and baked parts for this already and more to come as time and such affords them.
I need to blast and paint my turbo valve covers as well as some other tid bits...
Be warned this engine will not be opened up and torn down untill every single gasket and internal component I am after has arrived.
Thanks for looking stay tuned.
