Can I get this one dad??  Group: Members Posts: 1,183 Joined: 11-August 07 From: Palmetto, FL Member No.: 7,987 Region Association: None  |
First off, thanks for the replies. Now, I have the case assembled but, have not yet torqued the case. The Haynes says to spin the crank 360 and make sure nothing prevents it from spinning. She spins but takes a bit of muscle and slows down during the spin requiring a bit more muscle.
How much resistance should I have when I spin the crankshaft after assembly? My MG engines spun fairly easily and this is with pistons! Do I need to separate the case and re-check bearing seating? I don't want to continue until I am sure I have things set up right. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, I have everything cleaned up and getting ready to lay everything out. Three questions: 1. Is there an easier diagram other than on PP or in the AA catalog to help me ensure I put the bolts in the correct location on the crankcase? 2. Oil pump re-assembly. I have loctite 518 which Jake recommends for attaching the oil pump to the case. I have Curil T and K2 as well but I don't have anything to reseal the cover to the pump. Can I use loctite 518 or do I need to find something else to ensure it seals properly? 3. Final question. How much of a bead of K2 do I use for the crank case? |

Thanks all. It bugged me to no end so I did just that, tore it apart again but this time, I put the bearings in then made some alignment marks on the 1 and 4 bearing.
This time, when the boy and I put the crank back in we were able to line up the tick marks and ensure the bearing dowel pins seated properly. Put her back together and 'TA DA!!' she spun flawlessly and easily. Now I am happy. Will load some pictures up a bit later once I get the child bathed and prepped for bed. Again, thanks for all the responses. Hopefully I can get the rest of the motor put together next weekend. |
