6.0 Buildup - Your advice wanted.
#168
Sorry, but it won't be done this weekend. I don't even have pushrods yet. I have no idea what I'll need yet.
The crank and cam are both in. The clearance on the mains measured .0015"-.00175". I don't believe any of them were .002". So the mains are nicely in the center of factory tolerances, right where they should be since the block and crank are original.
Man do I hate this torque angle guage. I find using a torque wrench much easier to use. I'm glad for that reason alone that I've got ARP rod bolts. That'll make checking the clearances and final assembly much easier and quicker tomorrow.
I need a puller for the original timing gear on the crank, so that's where I stopped for the evening.
Here's the book I'm following for assembly.
