Subject: Re: Disaster - Engine seized. by Durango_Boy on 2012/7/10 12:57:14 The short block is assembled. Tolerances were spot on and everything went together perfectly and looks good and ready for when I have gaskets and can keep building upward.   Now that I almost have the timing cover finished I can install it, the oil pan, and balancer. Moving ever closer to long block stage so I can git it back in the car and put it all back together. Over the weekend I modified the intake by cutting out the divider. I really didn't have much of a choice because of the way that the carb adapter runs the mixture from each carb down into the manifold. I basically had one carb per plane and the air / fuel from each carb wasn't mixing with the other. The carbs were matched, but I think this still complicated things and the divider needed to be removed. The heavy removal is done and I just need to go in and re-polish everything and remove all the rough edges and burs but I think it'll be very efficient at allowing the mixtures from each carb to mix before dividing up to the runners.  |
