wow. good to hear

 

I just home the darn thing stays together now.

I went over the head and it seemed fine, Went over the block and it seemed fine. So we'll wait and see. I really don't want to replace the block!

 

so you are coming to help me with my 7M swap this summer then, eh?

Good work Lumpy, hopefully she holds in there tight for ya now

 

heh, not too sure I know much about swapping motors, but this carb'd engine is really easy to yank out.

 

Alrighty, I was a bit ill the past few days so the couch was mine...

Now this is what I found...
1. intake gasket looked not quite right. May have leaked a bit.
2. Head g/s on 4 was looking rough, I think it came apart. Small mark on cylinder wall. Enough that you can see it but not feel it. More like a burn mark. I know it was not there on last build.
3. Check block seems flat enough, checked head seemed flat enough. Doesn't seem warped or anything.

I started on it a little after 10 am and finished up about 8 with a hour lunch break. I had Dad helping till 3 and my buddy Bob till 1. Bob was there for the tear down and cleaning we were ready to reassemble by 1:00. Dad helped me get the head on and valves adjusted. From there I was on me own.

Thanks XXX, 92 and Chef for the help on the vacuum lines. Now that I have those in the right places it seems to be doing very well.

good to hear man. now that's enough of that stuff please. lets switch to fun stuff like tires or lifts or gears....no more rebuilds...except Joe's, that is.

 

I'm tellin ya...I'm really getting tired of doing this. Next on the list is a new bumper then a Aussie for the truck.

 

that's what I wanna hear. I know you are setting new personal records each time you do the head gasket, but, SHEESH already.

 

that's ok, I am beginning to think the truck is burning a little oil because my rings havent seated like I thought they did having 170psi of compression.

 

They are suppose to burn a little oil to keep the muffler bearing lubed.

I thought everyone knew that. -sheese-


.

 

what if I don't have a muffler? then I don't need to be burning oil lol. 7000 on the motor, maybe it's still somewhat normal. I mentioned it in my build thread though so. Hijack off lol.

 

You cant tell by looking with your eye , you have to measure with a machinest straight edge and feeler gauges.
Since you keep blowing head gaskets I would bet that your head / block or both are warped beyond limits. Its a common cause of blown head gaskets.

 

I did use a straight edge and light to check them.
