I'm getting ready to drop the tank and change the three rubber lines off the sender. I'm going to switch them to the gates barricade lines that can handle the ethanol in the gas. I'm thinking about pulling the pump and changing the one in the tank too. Is it 3/8" too? I know I need...

What a nightmare.... dropped a push rod into the block, cant get the end play set right, and then snapped the cam button bolt. 70 ft lbs is not the correct torque for this bolt. Now ive gone backwards.

Front cover is off, i removed, cleaned and then red loctite the cam bolt and torqued to 70 ft/lbs. I trying to make a oil squirter and here is what I'm thinking of doing. I would cut the end off the fogger nozzle so its a straight shot. Here it is with a mocked up front cam gear width and...

I know how you feel, im going through my engine for the third time too. The first and second time were both done by "experts". .. never again. I also had the PTE eco roller pay for a cam twice deal from way back when. I find it hard to believe that any of these cars ran more than a few...

Well looks like I'm going to take the front cover off again. How many times can I take the front cover on and off before I need to replace the oil pan and front cover gaskets? I'll remove the cam bolt clean, apply loctite again and torque to 70 ft/lbs this time. I'm going to look through some...

I did some more searching and found some used 50 ftlbs and 70 ftlbs too, my original search was for PTE roller button torque. I found a post from Mike Licht say 40 ftlbs. So which is it 40 50 70 ? I did 40 ft/lbs with red loctite

I ended up using the same gasket, cleaned everything up, loctited the cam button bolt and torqued to 40 ft lbs. Assembled the front cover and my final cam end play was .005 I measured off a cam lobe in the valley and off the back and measured the same .005 I taped a 1.45" long label on the...

After some searching I found a post from a few years ago and saw 40 ft/lbs for the cam button bolt and to set the end play to .010-.015 I have a PTE billet roller if that make any difference, I was trying to get the end play to .005

I checked the cam end play after torquing the front cover and letting it sit for a few days. I measured .017" so I need to add at least a .010" shim to get the end play between .005-.010 When I removed the front cover to get the cam button bolt off some oil got on the front cover gasket. Can...

Cleaned the lifters a few times and then soaked them in oil. I assembled the front cover and water pump and installed the pickup and pan. I installed the roller lifters in the same order that they were removed. Does it matter which way the hole in the side of the lifter faces?

So my next step is to clean the roller lifters. Can I just clean them in the parts washer, blow them out with air and then soak the in motor oil?

I didnt put oil on the threads I put permatex #2 on the threads and 30 weight on the bolt head and washer

All the searching i did said 85 ft/lbs with 30 weight oil for arp head bolts. I dont have the part number to look it up on their site.

I used 30 weight oil

Ya I was thinking probably better to leave them too. I bolted the heads on today, followed the sequence and torqued to 85ftlbs (arp bolts). I put permatex #2 on the threads of each bolt and some 30 weight oil on the bolt heads and washer. I stared at 50 then 60 then 75 then 85. I did both...

ek02 thanks for the help. This moring i installed the plugs with some permetax #2. I bought two set of the TA plugs and used both of the short ones. I had a difficult time getting them in. They seem to get tight after a few threads. I put them in and out a few time cleaning the threads after...

I looked at the front of my block the other day and the oil galley holes in the front have been tapped very far in on both sides. Will I have problems installing the short TA plug in the passenger side? Should I use permatex 1 or 2 or ultra black on them before installing?
