CLEVELAND ENGINE TALK

Recommended Posts

Well it could be , problem is evrytime I take a pic on that driveway the camera makes it look x5 worse than it actually is,if in the garage they seem to be fine,interesting thing about scratches I once took a 400 clevo crank to the machine shop to get it milled and he said that big scratch won't affect its performance,he could have easy said ahh yeah m8 $350 to mill it but he didn't and just got the crank linished and it was fine I guess maybe what angle the scratch or scouring is.

Pistons are in ,chain is on,oil slinger and alloy cover also loosely bolted on for a look ,crank sleeve on,also got sent an incorrect oil drive it's about a inch too short, but overall it's going together as planned d4cdb2e5f1e9ebdff4b39bc89921afa6.jpg42b7fd18062d6e334ef7bda6b296d368.jpg76c5279fdf32bfc8b848173add17f40f.jpgac68c9a28a832846b6e2b14ab09c32f0.jpgac7f0095ce3d323081066011e3c06ba9.jpga99aa1c84c30a227a2f5c7cbc4f6298c.jpgf80fd6091890da378ddd88844f1ef4ed.jpg

Lol. That engine stand looks a bit weighted now.
Nice job on the motor, looks real nice.

Yeah thanks Jack it's almost done I just put the factory manifold back on it and it fit so good,I tossed the new stamped steel oven tray and put the felpro ones on it with a tad of gasket sealer in the corners and yeah my tiny engine stand is on the limit with this done and it still needs the oil pump and sump on it and its all done I think.15a2df99299d645ec13ef494d6c57228.jpg99f009e0ac3aa32cbcda6a091b10ece6.jpgfa187e33b8c2c75d45112d40d2ccf820.jpg335f922563ab464e7995d312340f1092.jpgfdd9a0ce5d584caa0b1b11f9da542687.jpg3b743eaca69cb67abd395546a17e50d2.jpg8e35ab0eb3dbc09a3335edcb9e2fe11a.jpgee344398c8795a6155cf6915cb8850bc.jpge43225ea24568d172ddb06c1dea0c3f1.jpg

I still have the other block at 030 and managed to find a set of main caps but wondering if it's even worth paying $700 odd dollars to get it line bored ,if I did ,is a 030 block even worth that much ?

Not sure mate. Good big blocks are getting harder to find. I just like watching you put them together.

New dilemma apparently the backing plate needs a gasket as well,strange how my book does not mention this ,nor does the full felpro gasket set come with one,I looked up some usa forum's and some say just use a bead of sealer if you don't have the correct gasket kit,this is why I always do a dummy up of things first now let's undo it all and get it right,then use the rtv sealer.810f11f56c5db15e4bd404d8cd5152bf.jpg

while reading about the t5 thread before,in rememberd i had an idea of putting a single rail behind this 472 c.i,a shop sells a big block alloy bell to suit top loader or single rail,as its not a race engine,its 100% stock,a 008 351c xc xd xe single rail should be fine imo.
