I honestly don't know how you're alive.

The only times I've read this thread you fell down a flight of stairs and now have pneumonia.

TIMING IS COMPELTE AND CAM DEGREE. its dead on perfect this time around, turns out the adjsutable timing set wasnt at 0* last time either.

So anyhow, touching up body work and the heads are ready to go on and so is the front cover oil pump etc. I'll start that tomorrow.

Yall would be SO proud of me today!

For starters, got the drivers side head on. All torqued, no cracks or busted blocks either . All the pushrods and rockers are in and tightened down. Turns over smooth and seems to be building compression. Cam timing is still dead on by the marks on the front.

Video of the rockers moving by me turning it over by hand, sorrry but its ahrd to turn it over with 1 hand and hold a phone in the other.





Tomorrows goal is to get the other head on with the front acessories and intake
