Engine Shop

[BPVan]

I talked to Rob at Action and he said the head was milled to tolerance. Since I am a little "green" in this area I am going to leave it be for now for fear of messing something up. Worst case if I need to pull the head it is not too bad to do with it in the van, the seats and doghouse come out pretty quickly. I also plan on having the block and head that are coming out cleaned and machined at some point.

Progress so far is that I finished the engine paint Wednesday night (thanks Kenny for letting me use your Propane Heater, that thing brought the garage to a balmy 70 degrees). I am finishing up the final assembly tonight (Fuel pump, water inlet, temp/oil sending units, Oil Filter adapter). I do need to finish the paint on the Oil pan tonight as well. Will be ready for the hoist party tomorrow.

Rocker cover is temporary, new one on the way. Oil pan is post intense grease removal.
