What are those really long springs, Paul?

 

Scott

They live on the rocker shafts, between rockers and shaft mounts to keep the rockers aligned.

New work completed: 

Pump back from Wes Ingram. Before and after.

 

Here's some video I took while the pump was being tested on the bench.

 

Block machined and painted.

 

 

Crankshaft "plasti-gauge tested and torqued.  New bearings and polish.

Assembly is WAY more fun than tear-down.

Paul, where did you source your pistons and are they standard or oversized?  My Tii block is on a stand stripped for rebuild and my Ingram pump is on the shelf awaiting installation.  Beautiful work so far.

[PaulTWinterton]

Pistons are Mahle second-bore oversize from Walloth and Nesch.  Thanks.

Great photos Paul! 

Wes and Herb have my pump and I need to pick it up soon. I can't wait to see the CAD plating. 

 

Pistons are beautiful also. 

 

Cheers

When I visited Wes and Herb, they told me that they won't see a KFish pump for months (Spica is their big business) and then 4 KFish pumps will arrive the same week.  Go figure.

 

The cad is gorgeous.

This is all gorgeous, Paul!

 

And what's the compression ratio on those Mahles?

 

Best regards,

Work in progress update.  Our resident 2002 veteran mechanic, Rick Stephenson powder coated and cad plated different parts for my project.

Looks good ,  Couldn't wait to put the bling on, huh!   I have to admit the gray looks better that the metallic blue.

 

Thanks, Rick

May I please have the contact info for the KFish pump rebuild guy?

Excellent work!  I kind of like tearing them down to see how really bad my choices were at part selections.??

[jgerock]

Dab some paint on the KF pulley face adjacent to the notch along with the rib on the plastic lower timing cover and outer crankshaft pulley notches  to make it easier to check the timing.  Let me know if you cannot find the torque value for the two KF pump to timing cover bolts.

[Conserv]

So I have to ask, Paul:  What's your plan vis-a-vis your car and the original engine?  I'd guess there is no way that you, or I, or anyone on this forum, could do this beautiful rebuild only to let this engine sit in the corner of the garage for 5 years!  Right?  But I also know that you, like I, greatly value our tii's original engines.  So what's the plan?  Install this engine now and save the original engine for....the right time?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve
