1930 called. It wants its truck engine back.

Does that thing have a handle coming out of the front that helps you start it ?

Ferrari and Formula 1 both run some pretty nice V8s. No pushrods in either

My audi AWD doesn't have any pushrods either. Does that make me as cool as a ferrari or formula 1? :icon_cyclops_ani: lol

CMK, I'll help you finish, if you can help me time the audi. I help you, you help me deal? lawlz

That's Ford's design, cause the factory manifolds/headers on my Mustang look pretty much the same.

[MisterCMK]

Yup, they have that little pinch in them.

I have both heads off and the pistons/block surface cleaned up and ready for the heads. I am working on tapping the block holes and will probably bolt the heads on tonight. Fucking autozone shit taps breaking off blow ass BTW

And the tap that almost fucked me

[thrash]

Wow that tap is nasty. How did that happen? Were you using oil?

Also, what's that a mechanical distributor doing there? I thought I was kidding about 1930

[MisterCMK]

Haha, it is a PIP sensor in there, so its only 1950s tech.

Anywho, it was just a shitty tap. I wasn't using oil, but it was not getting tough at all and then just snapped. That is what I get for being lazy and not wanting to drive all the way down to Sears to get a good tap. I ended up going down there anyway.

[XJHEAD]

I remember when my engine-bay looked like that.

[SPANISH-RICE]

whatd you do to clean the tops of the pistons while they were still in the motor? worried about anything being between the cylinder and pistons? an earlier pic looked like there was quite a bit of carbon build up

[MisterCMK]

Yeah, there was quite a bit of carbon buildup. I used a wire wheel cup that you chuck up in the drill. I brought each piston to the top and cleaned it off and also cleaned off the block. Then, I took brake cleaner and sprayed down the cylinder and rotated the engine until I didn't see any crap left behind in the cylinders. I know that there is going to be some crap left over, but I am going to change my oil right away after I start it up to get some of the stuff cleaned out of there.

I have both heads on and torqued and the valvetrain re-assembled. Now I have to finish cleaning up the valve covers and then put the intake manifold back on and put 'er back together. I have more pics that I will put up soon.

[MisterCMK]

Still have polishing left to do on the valve covers.

[thrash]

this is the 4.6 engine right? is it 100% metric hardware now ?
