Weekend (Dec. 14&15) cam install
Total time: 5.5hrs.
Existing cam: Ford stock .444 lift
Installing cam: Lunati 51014 blower cam (.510 lift)
Existing balancer: Wobbly stock unit
Installing balancer: Ford SVO
Existing timing chain: Ford weak unit
Installing timing chain: Cloye double roller
Wish I had some aluminum heads to go on it since I have it torn down this far. aaagggghhh!
Things went extremely well. No out of the ordinary occurrences during disassembly and reassembly. The only part besides intake and
timing cover gaskets were longer Grade 8 hex bolts for the harmonic balancer. I changed it from the stock to a Ford
SVO unit that required a spacer and thus longer bolts.
What a mess!
Might not look organized, but it really IS!!
Not a recent picture, but you get the idea... new pictures to follow.
