Think about it: you came up with a plan of action for your rebuild before even turning a single wrench. We slapped it on our tank and called it a day. The early 862 castings came with a recess on the outer edge of the deck that was sealed by an imprinted area on the original composition gasket. Also lubricate the crank rod journal with assembly lube. A final note on oil deflector tray modification is that if you are using aftermarket main studs, they may require some of the holes in the tray to be enlarged slightly, which is easy enough to do with a drill or die grinder. However, the above tightening sequence should always be used. When using a crankshaft with a larger-than-stock stroke, modifications to your oil deflector tray may be required to obtain adequate rotating clearance.
A rubber-faced mallet will be used during assembly as well. Properly performed machine work will make reassembly much easier on you. In this case only remove the bolts holding the bracket to the valve cover; on most engines, this translates to five 10mm bolts each. Step 33: Remove Rear Engine Cover Twelve 10mm bolts hold the rear engine cover to the block. Step 34: Install Front Cover Special Tool, Precision Measurement The front cover goes on next, being sure to use a new gasket behind it. Lastly, the oil pan kit comes complete with everything needed, including the correct pickup tube.
This is easy to check with clay later during oil pan installation. Step 8: Tighten Outer Main Bearing Cap Bolts and Side Bolts Torque Fasteners Now, torque all M10 outer main bolts numbered 11-20 in the first picture , in sequence, to 15 ft-lbs. Then install one oil ring control rail below the expander and another oil ring rail above the expander. The only way it would have worked was to cut a hole in the inner fender, and mount the air filter by the tire. We initially blamed the failures on the material or the induction hardening, but most of the valves and seats are micro-welded, too. Hand cleaner should be kept nearby to clean your paws frequently during assembly.
Also, it should go without saying that before getting started, you should have performed all applicable pre-assembly procedures listed in Chapter 7 and had any and all additional machine work performed on your parts, as appropriate. Each must be pressed into its hole as completely as possible, and light hammer taps may be needed to do this. These might include the water pump, alternator, and power steering pump and reservoir, among other items depending on application. Step 30: Remove Flywheel or Flexplate On most engines, six 15mm bolts attach the flywheel or flexplate to the crank. When your engine is all buttoned up, Golen re-pallets it and ships it right back to your door.
Insert the M10 main cap bolts and start them by hand. Since we are keeping this engine stock, we utilized the stock harness and used the stock computer. As far as mounting the transmission we used the stock 4L80E rubber mount and fabricated a perch for it to sit on the stock crossmember. These cam failures all look the same. Final Assembly Supplies The following supplies are either necessary or helpful during the final assembly process, and they apply to several steps. This name was given based on the shape on the intake port area.
Lubricate the bearing shells with assembly lube. Parts organizer trays are great because not only do they make items less likely to fall off of your worktables, but they keep numbered parts in order, helping prevent inadvertent mixups of cylinder-specific items like pistons and rods. Once the cam is in, remove the extension s or bolt s , but be careful—the slight backward tilt of most engine stands means the cam may want to slide its way out the back of the block! Many backyard mechanics are still building these engines and using them to show off this powerful engine in their project car of choice. But the fact of the matter is, engine disassembly is a critical stage of a successful rebuild project, and this is true in several ways. We were forced to buy a new radiator from our local auto parts store. They begin to perform poorly later in life, and eventually will die—i.
The 24mm crank bolt will be very tight! Again, this all depends on your application. The factory head gasket has a compressed thickness of 0. The engine can now be easily worked on from any angle! It is a good idea to shoot some oil into the oil pump inlet at this point for initial lubrication. The best way is to install a cold air intake system. This Tech Tip is From the Full Book,. A system for mounting a dial indicator and measuring piston and lifter movement is a required complement to a degree wheel kit, and some kits include it.
You then inspected your engine parts, selected others to purchase, and had machine work performed on many of them. Different types of puller tools are available on the market, one being this slide hammer—but we advise you save some money and have your machine shop remove and replace this bearing for you. The post-filter was installed after the axle. Apply threadlocker to the threads of the six bolts and install them. I used a Lokar Anchor Tight Locking Flexible Engine Dipstick to clean up the engine bay and to easily check the engine oil. Shipping charges are not refundable. With either style, be sure to use some oil on the O-ring.
However, when done correctly, the results will be properly tightened rocker mounting bolts on any application! On the way back I noticed that the engine was leaking oil near the bottom of the oil pan. Engine disassembly will be by far the dirtiest part of any rebuild project, as used engine parts are invariably covered with oil, coolant, carbon buildup, and other sorts of grease and grime. Step 12: Remove Pushrods The sixteen pushrods simply slide up and out of the cylinder head. This aligns the thrust bearing surfaces and it is important to note that final thrust of the crank must be in the forward direction! Feeler gauge: Used primarily during ring fitting, a feeler gauge will also be useful for other measurements, like checking engine cover alignment. Simply put, combine this book with some common sense and a couple of other resources, and you can do it! Some have made 1,500 horsepower on this block.
