Engine updates

Won't be using the cable drive for the tachometer. Found a piece of scrap aluminum (scratched up, but will work). Machined it so it would fit in the bore of the tach housing.
More on this later.


Pistons being installed


Cylinder, timing chain, rollers & guide


Sometimes I wished I had three hands.
Timing chain was to kept up during assembly. Trick is to devise a way that is easy to "unhook" to keep adding parts.
Used a bungee cord, connected to the garage door rail, then a piece of wire to go between the cord and the chain.


Cylinder head & camshaft sprocket


The tach drive "plug" in place. There's a seal in the bore, which explains why the piece looked strange. I'll replace the screw with an Allen head later.


Pic of the camshaft (red stuff is assembly lube).
Valves adjusted, .002" Intake, .004" Exhaust


This is as far as I'll go until it's in the frame. My brother & his son are coming over for some welding. I'll see if I can bribe them.
