The original HP/truck/"six pac" rods part nr 2951908 | NOS never installed TQ. | Camshaft innstalled | |
Squish is good | The engine block is back from the machine shop, acid cleaned, 030 overbore, new camshaft bearings and a new fuel-pump axle bushing. Picture also shows the water pump housing that has been acid cleaned and the old pistons. Now Now I guess it's time for some tedios cleaning before starting the rebuild. Always wanted a Mercedes with a V8 in it, this is probably as close as I'll get. | ||
The old forged crank looks really healthy after a very light deburring and a good clean up. We'll have to wait until bearing squish is measured to see for sure if it's good to go back in as is. | Engine block is at the machine shop so now it's time to do some cleaning up on the parts to be reused. | (3 Comments) Santa brought in some more parts. Can't wait for the holidays to end and have the block done. | (2 Comments) I have been messing around with rust removal by electrolysis for quite some time. A while ago I imported some carbon graphite plates from Israel (e-Bay) to use as anodes. I tested them yesterday and they really made a great difference. The prosess is a lot cleaner and way more efficient than with iron anodes. This is the thermostat housing after 2 hours i the electrolysis and a very light cleaning of with a wire-brush. |
