gerg 10,871 Posted May 11, 2022 Yeah mate I think you're right about the different gasket set, the big one with two holes looks like a throttle body gasket (they had twins from memory). Dunno what the cork one is, never seen or worked on one to know.Sent from my CPH2197 using Tapatalk 1 burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregaust 319 Posted May 11, 2022 You don't really need the turkey pan tray. Those blue gaskets in that set work awesome 2 CHESTNUTXE and burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the VR nitro seal I've found work great . Please just stay well away from the Felpro print-o-seal (Black teflon gasket with blue beads) They are rubbish. They are coated for easy removal but the teflon coating allows them to creep around between the smooth surfaces . Most then leak coolant @ the front or are these felpro ones different greg 1 burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bear351c 10,270 Posted May 11, 2022 That timing chain is a standard Morse chain. Multi link for maximum quiet. Multi keyed sprocket is for advancing/retarding the cam. Reckon that round corky is for under the oil filler cap. ?? 2 burnnotice1000 and Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,310 Posted May 17, 2022 i bought a heap of parts from america to finish off the engine ,now just a waiting game until everything arrives,good thing is i made a friend over there who has a mountain of 400s and 429/460s,we video on messenger and he is dying for a set of 302c closed heads (lol),he finds aussie clevo stuff a real goldmine,and giving him the rundown on info about how we got the tooling from the states then started pouring our own clevo stuff was a real eye opener for him,he did not even no about the D1AE high nickel 400 block i had,he has gone on a rampage looking one in the states.amazing when you find someone on the other side of the world that is right into all the stuff you love yourself,we have already got an idea about loading his container full of $200 complete 460s and 400s as where he is there is a abundance of them,a once a year shipment should be plenty to muck around with and sell,well thats the idea at this stage ,from the info i have dug up so far its double the price of a container ATM,from what it used to be,and our dollar is poor as well,but will keep it on the backburner for the moment,probly one of the reasons its very hard to find a 460 engine latley.if the deal works out i would love a few 429s just for info sake,you no,usual strip and rebuild while photos and description. 4 Outback Jack, gerg, SPArKy_Dave and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted May 17, 2022 There are still a lot of used but rebuildable 302 heads kicking around, can be had for not much. Still, in the States their aftermarket alloys are a lot cheaper than ours, and rebuilding factory iron 2Vs would be less and less feasible for HP per dollar.If he insists on getting hold of some, maybe you could strike a deal with him?Sent from my CPH2197 using Tapatalk 1 burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
