Finished up bolting on the Oil Pan.
Got my heads back. Had them freshened up, and also machined for bigger valves. 2.02/1.60's   
|
Installed Cylinder Heads and torque.
  
|
|
Heads installed and time to install Lifters, Push Rods and Rockers and set rockers.
Glenn inspects my work to make sure I haven't OVER TIGHTEN anything and to check the play on the pushrods.   
|
|
Set a few of them according to the manual with 0 TDC, then turn crank one revolution and repeat with 6 TDC.
After that's all done, it's time to tape everything up and get the engine ready for paint.   
|
Couple coats of paint - Chevy Orange
  
|
|
Glenn adds some stickers from the parts to his cabinet and I'm cleaning up the tools and putting them back.
That's it, Engine is built and all set to go ... now time to get the Nova in here and get the swap underway.   |
