yes to the 45 degree twist coming out. keep in mind when you install the pistons the oil on the rings (which is needed) also allows that heavy piston/rod combo to slide all the way down til it hits something. IE: crank journal or piston cooling tube.. A helper who can catch the rod on its way down may be needed.

Yep. Im home sick, so I have Fox News on T.V. I just saw him say that...

He is one of few democrats that I will stop and listen too. At first I thought he was dissrespectful because of his wardrobe, which I still dont care for, but I respect his thought process'

I have a fresh long block for sale. Its an E-Tech. I put steel lifters in it and the cam key is set to high horse power . It also has Jacobs 690 engine brakes. I also have manifolds an engine harness, the oil cooler leaks, but should still be available. P.M. me your phone number if youd like. Jojo -
I may be repeating myself here, but I have the tools because when I was with Mack for 10 years, i became one of the Go-To Engine guys. I would buy tools or make tools for my personal use. As well as buying books. Fast forward 15 more years, and all of the tools and books afforded me the ability to build these engines and a couple others at home in my modest shop. I am not a machinist so that work is done outside. The only machining I can do is cut counter bore shelves in mid stop bores, like E-6+E-7's. Paul, I think you would like to do that engine job. And yes tools get expensive quick.

There is bunch of guys here that have great knowledge... Glad you found BMT
-
Paul, here is one I did in my modest shop a few years ago. A BMT brother needed an engine, so I went and picked one up that he bought and did a full build.

Earl taught me to do the same thing, knock the flux off a welding rod and use it to aim the cooling tubes.. you brought me back a couple decades Mech... thanks..

Yes, it stays hot for at leaste 15 minutes. Not good....
-
Yes to all. My boss bought one of those smooth top ranges, we had a double wide avacado green range that Columbus installed and it worked great, the oven temp was spot on.... well.... it is now being used to make body panels for a KIA...

Be patient with it. It will look loose and watery, but it will stop bubbling and settle down after 25 + minutes and then the crust will firm up and eventually toast to a golden brown top and bottom. If you have a high dollar oven, check it a few times to be sure its not cooking too fast. Our oven is so so..but it works..

What will she top it with?
-
Really... who cares... i gave my stone away to an eclectic guy i work with.. he will never use it.. all you need is a vented pan..
-
Does the shop you use have the installer?
-
You are supposed to heat the stone while heating the oven. It helps to have a pizza peel to slide it on the hot stone.. blah blah blah... but im right... 🍻
-
Monaco tool and freedom racing have the tool.
-
Here i go again.. I own the Proper seal installer. I have only done rear mains with the tool... freightrain... it matters.. does your friend have the installer ? I have a few different seal installers because i built other engines. Kinda sucks, because when i was building those engines I had to buy the right driver to make sure my quality was right.

Thats sounds terrible... sorry Paul... -
From what I remember there are 2 different seals. 1 for seal only install, and one for the use of a wear ring. Somehow i cant say with 100% confidence since i dont have seals here to compare., sad, really, ive built dozens and cant remember

I worked at a pizza joint chain in Maine that put cottage cheese in their lasgana.. it was different than what my people made, but it was really good.

O.D. I was really surprised at how good the 🍕 was.. My Italian grand parents are rolling in their graves..

I have a target that i made 25 years ago and to me they look like they are aimed right, when compared to my target, that is 400 miles away from there, 🙃
