Welcome from Burlingto ND. There is a vast amount of knowledge out there in ciber Stove bolt page.
I have a GMC 270 engine that I am in the process of going thru for my 48 Dump Truck. The Head has just been finished and now I am needing to get the Crank turned. Because of a lousy installation of the rear seal my Crank is a little ate up. When I pulled the rear main cap off you could see the rope gasket smashed by the cap allowing the motor to leak oil, and i mean Leak oil. Dirt got in the bearing groove, after filling that up it started to spread out onto the rear main bearing, grooving out the crank.
One problem that I am moving into is how to put the Altenator on. I have a pully that is almost an inch in width on the crank Water pump and Generator. I am replacing the Generator and now I need to figure out how to put a pully on the motor which will run the alternator.
Any Ideas on how to mount another pully on the crank to run the alternator?? I think this is the least of my problems but it will take my mind off the motor problems. Oh yea any recomendations for rings. I just pulled out the pistons and I had # 5 piston compression ring fall off. Maybe that is why I had 40lbs in that cylinder?
Any tips on finding guidance on assembling this engine.
Thanks and Welcome.
