Oil pan on and Head ready to bolt down

The head went on, but I have'nt bolted it down yet because one of the lifters is a little sticky. I got them from SOR and they've been resurfaced. One happens to look a little corroded on the side and went in with some pushing, but seems to be too tight, unlike the others that slide easily. So, i'm going to remove it and get another one before bolting the head down. it's starting to look like a motor.

Headbolt stripped

I found out one headbolt is stripped and worse yet it's the block that's stripped not the bolt. What does one do about that? Do I have to drill and tap the block to accept a larger bolt? Then does that mean i have to drill the head out too?? Holy bajessus!!

Bad news Gwest. Very sorry to hear that. It must make you angry after all the work you've done there.

But the problem should be able to be overcome using a Helicoil.

Thanks

I'll look into the helicoil option.

Did the helicoil on the head

I got a helicoil kit from NAPA and it seems to have worked well. It took the 86 ft. lbs of torque, so it seems to be Ok. Using that method, you can use the same bolt as apposed to going to a larger bolt. They're supposed to be stronger than the stock thread; we'll see. I'm wondering now if that stripped head bolt was the origin of the coolant in the oil pan? Next is the rocker assembly and adjusting the valves.

Glad it worked out for you.

Valve adjustment done

I did the initial valve adjustment and will re-adjust them after the first start up when its warm. It's been a long time since I adjusted valves and I've never taken a motor down to this level so it's nice to see this motor getting close to being together. The reconditioned fuel injectors are in and next I have to clean up the fuel lines so they look right.

Wow great job!

Tks for sharing, very interesting. I got 560,000 km's out of a 2H. It only though a bolt in the bottom end, but it was cheaper to get another 2h than re build. Kind Regards, Marty

 

[gswest]

What happened to your motor Martyfox? It threw a bolt?

New engine jewelry installed

Fuel injection lines, intake manifold and dual fuel filter assembly installed. Installing this stuff was easy, cleaning and pollishing all the little pieces was the issue. The fuel injection lines took me 4 hours to clean up to the point where they looked pollished. A dremmel tool and 220 grit sand paper. An equal amount of time on the fuel filter assembly and centrifugal oil filter assembly. Whew! The problem is as soon as I fire this thing up it may spew fuel and oil all over my efforts. That's why it's pictured here in it's virgin state.

A true work of art!

Just imagine taking it off road when it's finished.... It take weeks to get everything clean and shiny again.

Perhaps it'll be best left parked over a mirror (like they do in hot-rod shows)..

 

[gswest]

It will never look this clean again, that's for sure. I really intend to use this truck as a daily driver one day. No mirrors under this beast.

Your detail work on the 2H is awesome.

This 47 will look better than factory when finished.

Thanks!

Dual fuel filter

It's looken good was the duel fuel filter factory or after market

 

[Falco80]

Fantastic detailing job on your 2H mate! Love it. Keep up the good work.

 

[Trollhole]

Clear coat it.

 

[gswest]

Dual fuel filters were stock, Im not sure when they went away from or went to that set up. The manual shows both configurations. And as far as clear coating the pollished parts, that would be nice as I assume they wont oxidize after that. Any suggestions on a good product for that purpose?

Clear powdercoat would be the strongest.
