Re: Project COPO cleanup
Maybe I just didn't see it but where's the cam button to prevent that roller camshaft from walking forward? I'm also wondering why that front cam journal is stepped like a Gen V or VI?
|
Re: Project COPO cleanup
it is a gen 6 cam..waiting on the retainer plate!
|
Re: Project COPO cleanup
OK..got the cam stuff figured out..new button is here and installed..time to close her up and get ready for paint.
Hopefully some paint later today if it warms up a little [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...7-img_2226.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8-img_2230.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9-img_2231.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...0-img_2232.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...1-img_2233.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...2-img_2234.jpg |

Re: Project COPO cleanup
A question comes to my mind when I see the pictures. First it is a great job and it looks good.
But I wonder how they did paint them at the factory. Was the water pump mounted when they painted the engine and if so wouldn't it then sort of mask parts of the cam chain cover? Just wondering... Jan |
Re: Project COPO cleanup
----Waterpump was mounted as well as intake. On earlier short waterpump engines you can tell the waterpumps were on the engines as they had no paint on the backsides.
The Tonawanda factory had masks that were made out of pressed cardboard. They were attached to the aluminum intake prior to the paint. At the end of that process the masks were placed in a bin and rotated back to the beginning. The cardboard would get worn and sometimes edges would be broken off and thats why (generally) on survivor aluminum intake big-blocks you will see some overspray. When a mask became too worn or get too much overspray on it, it would get tossed. As well, sometimes the mask wouldnt be attached correctly and more paint would get on the intake than intended. The aluminum intakes were never uniformly oversprayed or fogged along the edges as is frequently seen. I saw a picture of something that I was told was a mask a long time ago, and many of us feel this is the method, but I would love to hear from someone involved.......Bill S |
Re: Project COPO cleanup
Bill,
Here you can see the evidence of the mask used when this manifold was painted. Sharp edges rather than a fogged edge.

Re: Project COPO cleanup
Shouldered bolt pairs on both ends......number 1 & 7 and 2 & 8.

Re: Project COPO cleanup
Looking good Albert

Re: Project COPO cleanup
Has anyone ever seen the engine install plate that is attached to the carb studs pull off? I've never used one of them because I'm always concerned that those 4 studs will pull right out of the aluminum!
|
Re: Project COPO cleanup
A few months back I was bolting my lift bracket to a BBC and noticed one stud would not torque up. So even after the heli-coil repair I elected to use a chain bolted to the heads, Makes me nervous too.

I was always leery of using the plate, but I have a lot of friends including my engine builder who uses it all the time. I ended up setting my engine in and had no issues at all. I can't remember the numbers but if you add up the strength of four 5/16" bolts......they will hold a lot, even in aluminum. Anyway.....your project looks great Albert. Can't wait to see/hear it in Ohio. Kurt |
