Manana Engine Rebuild Page 2 |

So, I had the heads rebuilt, I spent hours scraping and pressure washing the case, and I cleaned up the pistons for inspection. I had the case acid dipped by the local machine shop along with the rods inspected and the crank polished. After minute measuring and thought justification, I elected to go with standard size Klobenshmidt <sp> bearings for the entire engine. |
 |
I had all the tin and shrouding blasted at the local monument shop for a great price and I was extremely pleased. The tin was perfect. I found one small pin hole on the driver side (near cylinder 3). |

Making sure the crank is seated properly |
 |
This is EXTREMELY important. The mark on the crank has to be in line with the mark on the cam gear. If not, no good. |
 |
Torqued the cam bolts on again...just to make sure. |
 |
See the difference in the case after cleaning? |
 |
Double checked the bearings, installed the cam and crank for the last time, applied the case sealant. |
 |
Installed the oil pick-up tube in the othe half and grabbed a beer. |
