All out
No tools just a bit of wiggling and gently turn crankshaft



Still stuck on these ?? Why would you put those in?? Completely jammed 😠

Got it Jim
Bit of fiddling

Do they write on the cam s

haft as to what grind it is ?

The big end caps are on pretty tight??
Hints!
So far Rob your instructions have been faultless

It's ok I re read your post . Take cam out!!
The contersunk  hex screws have morphed into bolts that are down pretty flush to the front plate.HTF do you get them out drill them and rethread

I guess the whole timing gear needs to come out yeah!
It's getting scarey. Hope i can put it back together .😊

Got the balancer off

There are 3 different sized bolts holding the timing cover?? Two are 13 mm😡
One of them protrudes through and fouls the front seal as the picture shows.??

Thanks Rob
You have inspired me to give it a go.
Following your instructions and have got to the point of the removal of harmonic balancer . Bought a universal puller .



Doesn't quite fit and will buy some new longer bolts. Do I have to remove the

nut on the front of the harmonic balancer?? The crank rotates when I try to tighten up the puller

By the way what seal did you end up using. I see fraze used the Maxparts 6380S

Wow thanks Rob.
Sounds very thorough and I would attempt it but at the moment the crank is insitu.
I don't think I have the knowledge to pull the crank out.It is  very interesting and I would like to learn. You need special tools to get the front of the crankcase off.
Give me a step by step on that one. 😊

How did this all end up??

Hi
I'm chasing a Speco tappet cover to go with this



Anyone got one for sale?

Nick

Better move this to cars under construction

Ok a bit has happened.
Got the motor fired up which sounded really nice but had oil pissing out the rear main.

Out comes the motor and check it out.
Never done this before so relying on some mates

 and Facebook for advice as well. Have the option of getting it done in town but they are not back till after New Years.
Pulled off sump and have noticed a few things which have been pointed out to me. One is the pitting on the crank shaft where it sits over the seal. Two is the mainseal is sitting quite proud of the block where the two join

and that would not help.
Got my mate and local NRMA mechanic coming round this afternoon to have a look.
The wagon is definitely going to get an upgrade!

Thanks Gary

Thanks for all your replies. Pete has come to the rescue again for me.  .
Don't have much option up here to take some where else.
Harv is there a preferred method of design for the engine pipes for the headers?
Should he have the flange gasket??
Nick

Hi All
Just trailered my sedan over to get the headers hooked up. The mechanic says he needs a flange plate to attach to the headers. I thought that he should have been able to make one up?
What have people done ?
Nick

What have people done to bling up their guard bolts??
Nick

Chasing a set of springs for a mate if anyone has any. Seems they are quite rare.
Nick

Thanks Harv
