Spent the day working on this engine restoration. Lots of tin work. Even the timing cover, people take a screwdriver and pry out the seal, then pound the new seal in. Thats good and all, but I would appreciate it if they wouldnt miss! Lots of dings around the seal area. The valve cover was really bad. All part of the fun!
Then I did some fun stuff like removing the timing gear cover, oil pump, etc. Please if you dont like the way I say something in the article, correct me.
One thing I cant remember is.. When you purchase a new cam and cam gear, do you also get the retainer? I do not remember ever removing the cam gear to get to the retainer. Old age I guess. The Balancer will need a speedi sleeve, but I will describe how that is done as well later.
