mowerman Posted Friday at 01:22 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:22 PM Tire came in a month ago I had not realized it’s been so long since I call the guy yesterday and he said yeah that thing came out a long time ago. I didn’t think you were ever coming back. I told him I didn’t realize it’s been that long and I thought he was still waiting for it to get there.bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/57/#findComment-573446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

His antique collection was huge, and really nice stuff like this too. He had a 707 gas powered LJ that looked brand new.

HarryS Posted Friday at 03:30 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:30 PM 15 hours ago, Joseph Cummings said: If those bolt holes are dimpled in, you want to take a big flat punch and drive them out a little. Also make sure the shouldered bolts screw all the way into the rocker shaft mounts and the shoulder sits tight on the mount. Lots of times incorrect washers get used on the bolts holding the rocker shafts to the cylinder head and the rocker cover bolt bottoms out on the incorrect washer. I noticed when I replaced the valve cover gaskets they seemed to bottom out on the mounts as mentioned not making a solid fit to the gasket. I did a bead of RTV to try and compensate. No leaks so far. Here is a picture of the shouldered bolt with a grove around it. I'm not sure what that was for.

Popular Post Joseph Cummings Posted Friday at 04:28 PM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 04:28 PM That surface has to sit down flat onto the rocker shaft mounting. The problem that happens a lot is people loose the correct washer that goes on the bolt that holds the rocker shaft to the head. So then they put a regular flat washer on it. The OD of a standard flat washer is too big and the valve cover bolt hits it on one side. That shoulder outlined in red will be sitting on top of the too big flat washer. There is no need for double fiber washers, or doubled up gaskets, or RTV if you use the correct hardware and press the rocker covers straight in the area of the bolt holes. I used to use an arbor press to press them, but no reason you can't use a hammer and a punch. And yeah on some of the early engines there was a clip so the bolt and fiber washer didn't get lost while doing a valve adjustment. I think they stopped using the clip in the early 60's 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/57/#findComment-573464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
