    Re: Big Single Build

    I had to get a head line honed because I had the rocker shaft upside down on my first engine build and that blocked all oil flow to the camshaft. Seized and broke the cam pin off too! Only line honed the one that seized. The other one just looks really rough :P

    Re: Big Single Build

    Hit up the dealership, turns out idiots did not even come close to pulling the right parts.

    So I am on the lookout for these part numbers:
    MD150785
    MD125669

    Apparently MD125669 is hard to find at dealers, two dealers in the country have this part and 9 of this part total in the country.

    Re: Big Single Build

    I can't tell what the first one is. Is it the end cam plug? If so, that is available from the aftermarket. The rocker shaft springs...two words:junk yard. It might be possible for them to wear out, but I doubt you will have any trouble with used ones unless the donor engine went through some serious hell. Or youcould do what the Ford 4.0 guys do and make precision solid spacers to eliminate the springs. However it has been argued that our engines really will not make any apreciable difference.

    Re: Big Single Build

    Like I said before, I think I have some rocker springs. Just let me know. As far as I can tell, their order does not matter but I may be wrong. Ive never had an issue mixing and matching the springs.

    Yes, the cam end cap appears to be difficult to find OEM. The one problem with the junkyards in the area is they don't have a lot of 6G72 engines and especially SOHC 12 Valve engines, so I can't get a rocker spring.

    If you have one, I would be willing to pay for it to be shipped.

    Re: Big Single Build

    If Sundance6g72 doesn't have the springs, I have some. Rockauto.com stocks the end plug http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...488&cc=1089626 $2.60 per plus shipping. I may have some left over from head gasket sets.

    Problem with 3si.org is that they teach people to only buy OEM parts.

    Re: Big Single Build

    So while cleaning the pole barn, I found the missing spring for the camshaft assembly so I will put that on soon.

    Not really care related, but thoroughly cleaned the pole barn and moved the car a little bit:

    Re: Big Single Build

    Here's what I did on Sunday, not really much of anything, but fabricating the heat exchanger mount to the frame was a big deal. Cleaned up a few parts, cleaned the oil pan.







    - - - Updated - - -

    The stock sender is a placeholder for that spot for now, I need to get a special line run for that to the turbo oil feed. I also need to drill and tap the pan for the return line while I have the pan off.

    I was mocking up a few things:








    Pesky oil pump seal kept rolling over on itself, will need to use oil to lube the seal and prevent it from binding.

    Re: Big Single Build

    Are you going to replace that oil pick-up? If not, I highly recommend it.

    I also do not recommend having any RTV in the oil pan, or anywhere in the oil system. It has a nasty habit of the bond breaking down and then falling into the pan or plugging stuff up, which can lead to making a bunch of scrap.

    67G72 engine manual says to use thin layer of RTV on gaskets and it is also recommended to use RTV on the entire oil pan.

    The oil pickup tube is in good shape, I popped the screen out more and cleaned out as much sludge as I could. There wasn't any bearing material in this engine anywhere so I don't see a problem. Also you can't buy an Oil Pickup Tube anywhere.

    Also, RTV black is oil resistant. RTV Red is a no-no.

    You can get a gasket for the pan but its usually a pain to install. I prefer to rtv the oil pan into place just like the OEM did.

    For the other gaskets I just copper spray them but im sure its unnecessary. I dont see a problem with RTV on them as long as its used sparingly. The stuff loves to spread out a good amount once tightend down.

    Re: Big Single Build

    So what I meant, and maybe I wrote it wrong, was I don't suggest using RTV in suction or pressurized areas of the oil system.

    Yes, the OEM seals the oil pan with RTV. I did the same when I resealed my engine. As long as it's used correctly, there's no problem there.

    I have honestly forgotten how the oil pick-up is installed onto the oil pump. Does it have an o-ring in the receiver hole of the pump, or dies it rely solely on the flange and the seal between the flange and the pump?

    RockAuto lists the oil pump screen by Sealed Power (PN 22415048) for $30.79. They list only 4 remaining. I don't know if that is all there is left, or that is all they have in stock before they re-order.

    For matching machined surfaces that are to be sealed to each other, I prefer anaerobic sealant.

    Re: Big Single Build

    He has the OEM style gasket there, and pretty much nobody uses gaskets except people who are used to working on other motors. I found that when I have oil leaks, its because of excess blowbye that is not being handled properly. My latest change in my exhaust crankcase evacuation setup that uses the OEM PCV system while idling cured up a bunch of oil leaks. Still can't get my turbo fittings to be dry.
