i would get alot more done if it wasn't so hot out and i wan't doing the work in my drive way.

 

HEy Jeremy

Hey how do i set the lash on the vavles? i'm worried about it cuz i have a score mark on my HEI system so i know where to put it back into place so i don't mess up the timeing.... shoud i ptut he heads on and the intake and the HEI then put the push rods in tighten them down and then "Bump" the motor over and tighten then again then start the motor (howing it will start) and then tighten then down till i here then stop taping and then do a half turn?

HELP ASAP!!


PS if i get there on time i will do the cooking. :-D

 

Start at number one cyl and work your way thru

if your confused do number one intake then number one exhaust

just roll the motor over till u see the pushrod move then adjust accordingly

then proceed to do cyl 2 and so on

then repeat for all cyl and recheck.........should also be outlined in any haynes/chilton or factory manual as well

PS doing it one cyl at a time is alot of turning the motor but u wont get confused either so just go slow and be careful

 

want to come over and show me how? i know how to do it when i'm first putting the motor together and i can spin it by hand but not like this. i called Mark AKA Mean5.7 to see if he could come over and help but he is busy all day tomorrow.

 

U do it the same way as the motor was fresh
aint no difference
just do a cyl at a time so u dont screw up


doesnt matter as long as u do them all

put a socket and a rathcet on the crank with the plugs out and set it normally

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS RAINNING!!!!!!!

 

dopplar radar is clear for most of chicasgo with chance of scattered showers, should still be able to swim today and get cruising in t-nite

so quit whining about a lil rain :-)

Jeremy


Is it running?

 

it was at 7:00am today... i'm just about to bolt on the intake and set the lash on the vavles. just have to torque down the passager side head then put the intake on. run it (open heads for 15 mins) then retorque bolt on the headers and i'm good to go. so if i make it i'm going to be late getting there.

 

i woukdn't be whining if i wasn't doing this in my drive way

 

ITS ALIVE!!! ITS ALIVE!!! *** LORD ITS ALIVE!!!


all i have to do now is get the *** damn pulley back on for the power streeting and set the vavle lash when its running...

 

good job i knew you could do it

 

WooHoooo i got the pully back on befor the rain started... all i ahve to do now is retoque the heads and put the headers back on :-D


PS this is the first time i have ever ripped apart a block and put it back together and it still ran!!! :-D -=jumps for joy=-


i now think i can really build my own motor now.

 

just let the car run to normal temp and i'm letting ti cool down so i can retorque the heads :-D
