About to be embarking on rebuilding my engine and can't find a great step by step guide on all the tips and tricks when rebuilding a modified engine.
If someone would be willing to give me a run through or a write up on how to do it that would be massively appreciated. I am a mechanic by trade but since I have never ripped into one of these engines specifially, it would be great to know what to do roughly!
I know the basics of rebuilding and engine, just don't know the finiky bits like degree'ing the cams etc to suit how much material is taken off the head etc.
Specs are:
Bottom end:
Block: (Hope all clearances are within spec and give it a quick hone)
Standard Crank (Measure end float and out of round, Get polished)
Bridgeway H Beams,
Weisco Forged pistons with rings and gudgeon pins
ACL main bearings (5-9 Upgraded Thrusts( Standard size))
ACL big end bearings (Standard Size)
ARP Main studs
Ross Sport balance shaft delete kit
New hydraulic tensioner
OEM Oil pump
OEM Gasket Set
Tomei Oil slicer plate
Head:
Kelford 272 Cams,
Piper Cam Pulleys,
Manley springs and retainers with valvelocks
OEM IX MR Headgasket
New Valve stem seals
Kiggly HLA
ARP L19 Head studs
Was also thinking of getting the whole rotating assembly balanced so when its assembled its as balanced as it can be!
Like I said, any help or a write up would be greatly appreciated!
