Hey gents,
Things began to pile up on me and I had to step away from the project for a while. I’ve got a renewed desire to get some work done on this thing so I put a wrench on a few bolts today.
I was able to square away pushrod length. 7.200” leaves a tiny mark in the dry erase marker dead center of the top of the valve stem. Also P-V clearance was on the money so I feel safe with this setup.
Then I disassembled everything to notch the cylinder skirts to clear the rod cap bolts. Should be plenty of room in there now. I’ll drop off the entire rotating assembly along with damper and flywheel for balancing tomorrow.
Cleaned and spritzed with WD40 and shrink wrapped while I wait on the parts to get back from balancing.
