...I ordered a new head from 22re performance...
Another question for everyone. I'm about ready to slap some more parts back on the engine and I started to think about the need for an adjustable cam gear. Doing some quick research it looks like you need to think about using an adjustable cam gear if you have milled .010" or more off the block/head. When they machined my block they only took .005" off and I ordered a new head from 22re performance (still waiting for it arrive) so I think I'm in the clear for needing an adjustable cam gear. Any thoughts out there? Would it be worth while to get one anyway just in case I end up needing one and if not just leaving it in the stock location? Or just run with the stock gear? Thanks for the input.
What camshaft are you going to install?Gnarls.
Still waiting on the head to ship from 22re performance so I cleaned and painted up the gas tank and oil panI also found some time to apply the Eastwood internal frame coating. That stuff is a bit messy to apply but looks like it will work pretty good. Still have some more heavy duty anti rust stuff from eastwood that I'm also thinking about shooting into the frame rails once the frame coating is dry. Hopefully my frame will be pretty well protected from any further rusting.
THOSE are WAAAAAY too pretty for a gas tank and an oil pan!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't tell me you are going take this truck out on the trail and thrash and bash it!!!!!! Gnarls.
started to install the timing chain and cover along with the rear main seal so I can get the oil pan installed before my new head eventually arrives. In the past I have applied a small layer of RTV on the timing cover gaskets without issue but I wanted to see what everyone thinks is the best method. Should I installed the gaskets (both timing cover and rear main housing) with a light coat of ultra grey RTV applied to them or install them dry? I'm leaning towards dry as this is how the FSM shows it.
... In the mean time I got the valve cover cleaned and painted up. ... I went with Summit Racings black krinkle paint and really liked how it turned out. Seems pretty durable and I'm thinking about using it on the other various brackets on the engine.
How does that head compare to an engbldr head?
