Subject: Re: Budget 406 Build Up Inside by PeteK on 2009/11/9 23:45:44 It was a productive sunday afternoon. After all the measuring, checking and mock up, it was time to begin final assembly of the shortblock. First step was to fit the rings to each individual piston. After that, bearing was installed on the rod, bolt protectors were installed, and bearing was lubed: [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/vrodpete/100_5684.jpg[/IMG] Rings were aligned lightly oiled (along with a smear of oil on the skirts). Then the piston rod combo was fitted to the tapered ring compressor: [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/vrodpete/100_5685.jpg[/IMG] The assembly was then set on the block, and the piston/rod/ring assembly was gently, and smoothly pushed into the cylinder: [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/vrodpete/100_5686.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t221/vrodpete/100_5687.jpg[/IMG] Bearing was installed into the rod cap end, lubed, and snugged down.This was repeated 7 times. |
