Hello all!
It is a rainy friday evening here so I thought I would spend a bit of time on updating this thread..... If I can remember how!
This is the blower drive shaft going back in.
The little piece of speedometer cable looking thing in the end of the shaft is what drives the tachometer.
I bet you thought this pic was going to be of the heat exchanger going on....
This is the intercooler and fuel cooler. I was about to take it all apart to paint and have the cooler pressure tested and have the intercooler core tanked while it was apart.
The two flaps that you see are spring loaded and are actuated by a cable on the bridge just in case the engine would ever run away.
Here is the head being lowered back down into place.
I cleaned the head all up and found it to be in very good shape, all within spec except for the injector tubes so I had new ones installed and also installed all new injectors.
Putting the seals in place along with the crush rings.
Head installed and ready to install injector supply and return lines.
These things are pretty delicate so you have to be careful.
Tightening to proper torque. I may have been off slightly because of the use of the crows foot but I we could not find any other way to get in there to tighten them down.
Fuel lines all on and now installing injector rack.
And on goes the exhaust manifold. That thing is heavy!
Nice shot of the top of my head.... I was tired from putting that manifold on so I sat down and rested for a while.
I didn't know that Dave took my camera.
