This block was preserved with a thick goop to minimize rust.
|
![](333t.jpg)
Headed to the machine shop for clean and inspect.
|
![](524t.jpg)
Weights for the balance shop.
|
|
![](529t.jpg)
Wiseco Pro piston. 1st time I've used this pistons.
Good design underneath.
|
![](530t.jpg)
-28cc
|
![](531t.jpg)
1st ring is .300" down which is nice for tubo-blower motors
|
![](532t.jpg)
It's relatively light weight for a blower piston.
|
![](606t.jpg)
Doing what I can without the crankshaft. The crank is still
at the balance shop.
|
![](607t.jpg)
POR 15 black.
|
|
![](609t.jpg)
Mahle rings file fit at .028" 1st and .026" 2nd.
|
![](611t.jpg)
|
![](639t.jpg)
Block cleaned up and oil galley plug installed.
|
![](646t.jpg)
Premium cam bearings installed.

LE Camshaft via Lunati

Rod bearing clearance check...
|
![](656t.jpg)
Mostly all standard size Clevite H with a few .001" under
mixed in.
|
|
|
![](674t.jpg)
Crankshaft back from the balance shop.
|
|
|
![](683t.jpg)
Main bearing clearance check. Some mains required the 'x'
size to give more clearance. The target was .0025"
|
![](686t.jpg)
Final clearance written in sharpee. 0 means standard size
and "x" means one over.
|
![](690t.jpg)
Thrust was .006"
|
|
![](696t.jpg)
Stock timing set provided by customer.
|
![](697t.jpg)
A look at the 2 bores that have a slight blemish. This is #2
with a bit of rust and so it required the whole motor to go to
4.032"
|
![](699t.jpg)
This is #7
|
![](701t.jpg)
The remainder of the bores look good just like this one.
|
|
|
![](707t.jpg)
Rods/pistons all installed and rod side clearance is .020"
and Callies Compstar H-beam rod bolts are torqued to 75ft-lb
|
![](711t.jpg)
Pistons are .008" in the hole
|
![](713t.jpg)
Cam degree check at 110 intake centerline and the cam card calls
for 108. (loose chain)
|
|
![](716t.jpg)
The block deck was not milled because it was nice and square.
|
|
|
![](719t.jpg)
7.150" previously used pushrods work well to get the rocker
tip centered on the valve tip.
|
|
![](722t.jpg)
The chain is too loose. The chain makes a clunking sound
when you rotating the motor. Now going to install a Cloyes
double roller and convert from 93 opti to the vented opti.
|
![](723t.jpg)
Here is a photo of the nearly finished long block. Now
taking a break from the build to deal with the timing set.
|
![](801t.jpg)
Customer agreed to a vented opti-spark. I made the pin
shorter previously and so now I need to remove it and put in a longer
pin. This pin will not be persuaded. I finally broke it
off and drilled it out.
|
![](805t.jpg)
A Cloyes double roller was installed.
|
![](807t.jpg)
Crank sprocket at +2.....
|
![](808t.jpg)
...gives 108 intake centerline exactly as cam card shows.
|
![](811t.jpg)
Scorpion self aligning rockers.
|
|
|
![](815t.jpg)
Stock windage tray
|
![](816t.jpg)
modified and bent to clear the rods.
|
|
![](821t.jpg)
Stock oil pump.
|
![](822t.jpg)
Stock oil pan cleaned up as much as possible.
|
![](823t.jpg)
I cut and peal back the dipstick hole in the windage tray.
Less metal shaving potential.
|
|
![](826t.jpg)
Oil pan on. Notice my shop is now in the garage.
|
|
|
![](830t.jpg)
Valve covers on and dyno manifold on as a dust cover.
|
![](831t.jpg)
Now we wait for the delivery of the Jeg's
crank damper.
|
![](832t.jpg)
I moved the assembly shop into the 2-car garage due to a pending
move.
|
![](859t.jpg)
Pressure test of the oil system. I used a heavy 15W-40 oil
here so the 60psig is higher than usual.
|
![](860t.jpg)
I use an 18v battery powered drill.
|
![](861t.jpg)
It only took 1 minute for the oil to reach all of the lifters.
|
|
![](163t.jpg)
Now at the dyno. Morgan International
|
|
![](174t.jpg)
One delay was that I only had a neutral flywheel for the dyno.
I purchased a stock "external" flywheel and now I can run
any balance combo on the dyno.

750 Holley carb

Hot after the dyno session.

Oil and rockers look fine.
