Yeah and that picture of the cam really gave me a Lift and then I read the Duration of this thread and it was Exhausting, but at least I was able to Intake the info. What a Grind it was.

I know stupid :asshat:
 
I couldn't believe the force he used to try to get the cam in.

At about 10:44 I laughed at his frustration, been there.:D

I like the crushable tubing for a safety valve in case your foot's still on the pedal at spring bind :)

Actually I have pretty good control of the press, it is a pneumatic/hydraulic press. I just use the hand pump so it is quite slow.
 
Got the heads on, torqued to 105 ft/lbs in 5 increments. Used Blue Loctite on the studs, torqued them down before set, per instructions.

It is what I did last time but there was no mention of using Loctite in those instructions AFAIKIMG_0801.JPG . Wonder if WW has been in contact with ARP?

Nice! I'm glad they finally figured that out. I might still be running my 97 engine if that had been in the instructions when I bought my studs... So yeah, either WW called them or ARP has been trolling around here.

Nate, what happened to the 97 engine? My memory fails me.

I had a lifter fail so I yanked the heads. While they were off I put studs in it and I only used the typical Permatex thread sealant - I hadn't read anything warning about what to use and what not to use at that time. Oh well, I have a better engine now because of it, right?

Permatex Liquid Teflon? I have no use for it, at least in hydraulic situations.
 
Thanks, it's mostly the same color scheme as the last one with a few changes.
 
Love keeping it traditional. If I have to do it again I think I'd go that route.
 
Thanks Nate, I had thought of something different but had lots of paint leftover. There will be a color change on some small parts.
 
Really makes me want some mint chocolate chip ice cream. Looks cool. I just never can seem to paint an engine anything but black u less it's a restoration. Then I still think it should be black.

I saw on here where someone painted the waterpump and timing cover silver to match the aluminum timing housing, so I did it to mine when I had it apart last time. It still bugs me, want to paint it back to black.
I'm broken in the nogin, huh?
