looking for this too.... looks like this is the one. #99369 - 95mm nominal Wear sleeves, SKF Speedi-Sleeve - 99369

Ouch! That looks like a 'make work' project! Got a little more time put in today. Hopefully lots more :wrench: this weekend Typical condition of the lifters. Nice and smooth and mic on size although pics amplify the imperfections. Almost looks as if the faces have been resurfaced at...

Little more work than I originally planned! HA! But Im not one to run away from a challenge! Be that a good thing or bad... im not too sure yet. :cheers: Camshaft Bearings newly honed and near new specs Camshaft, little worn but still within spec and ready for some new action. And...

Slow and steady. So nice with everything on size, clean, straight and true! Rings installed and prelubed In the hole we go. Bagged her up so all stays nice and clean. Will continue this week as time permits.......

Some more progress.... Some might call it 'ford' blue. I kinda like it. Oil cooler installed. I ended up keeping my old downward pointing oil filter as I am sure it will interfere with the turbo/exhaust setup. For piece of mind, I plasti-gauged the new crankshaft bearings. On the...

Cheers! Glad you are enjoying! Well, FINALLY got my 3b back from the machine shop. I can finally begin this rebuild in time for FALL :frown:. I guess better late than never. And better than ever! Near new again :grinpimp: This evening, not too much progress. Little bit of prepping...

Thanks for the input guys, kind of what I was thinking too. Although I thought I have read that MLS gaskets can be reused?? I see two HG listed, looks like two different thicknesses??? PN 11115. Anyone know which I should pick? Why the different thickness? Cylinder head. Fits: 1986...

Well the 86 block is at the machine shop for liner replacement and bore to suit new pistons. Hope to see within a week or two.... No rush = better price and usually better quality in my experience. So clean and wire wheel and paint this time all the accessories. And now a serious...

I thought they all had some at least...... Thus the large vent coming from the lifter cover plate.

Anyone able to comment on differences in IP pumps? If any?

I had Dan ship to my work so that princess wont know! At 485k (original?) it is likely getting to that point. Check compression dry then wet. If little difference you can try a valve grind but my guess is you will be best to just do the full rebuild, rather than doing it almost twice, like...

I am hoping to use the 86 3b from a BJ70 and mate it to a 1981 bell housing and H42. I think this will only be an issue if I was attempting to use a newer transmission? Do I read this correct? Just for clarity, the circled plug is the insulated superglow wiring lug. As for the old IP pump...

Some calling around today and 4 wheel auto had the full rebuild kit sitting on the shelf. Should see it in a couple days. :princess: is gonna kill me if/when she finds out. LOL

Searching for a set of pistons that are in spec..... Rusty camshaft doner This got me diggin in my 3rd engine, the 86 that donated the cyl head. I was shying away from this one as it is a different 'generation' of 3b and not sure of compatibility with my tranny etc. But this might be the...

My 86 is still on the stand so haven't mated the bell housing but the flywheel bore and bolt pattern match.... looks like the bellhousing holes are the same so I think I am in good shape. In attempt to compile some details, here is some good info on differences in 3b's Assistance on...
