[COLOR="Red"]Do you just rely on the timing chain to hold the crank in place while removing the balancer and hub?[/COLOR] I guess I was also wondering if it should be prevented from turning. I thought I saw someone chaining it to a side frame rail or something. I got all my parts in now. I should be starting this evening or tomorrow. I thought my valve spring kit was supposed to come with shims and instructions for installing. It just has the springs, seats, and retainers in the package. [COLOR="red"]Should I be concerned with spring height and shims?[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]Is cleaning, soaking, or oiling of any parts required?(rockers, lifters, springs, etc.) [/COLOR]I've read many different opinions on that. Most say regular oil on cam journals and assembly lube on lobes. Any brand recomended? I also read dipping or soaking lifters after cleaning in some solution is common. I saw comp has a spray for the springs and rockers. I didnt see it at Autozone though. [COLOR="red"]Is there any sort of break in method needed?[/COLOR] I read keeping it abouve 2000rpms for the first few minutes. Someone said something about using dino oil for startup. [COLOR="red"]I thought that was only for a rebuild.?[/COLOR] While I'm thinking of it, whats the best grade mobile 1 to use at 114k miles? What size vacuum lines do I need for the opti? One of them is cut. |
