Here are a few bananas

That should get it done. And leave a few to snack on as you go.

heheheheheheh

something will definitely end up out of whack

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Home now and this is what I have deduced.... Forgive me if I’m way wrong.
The camshaft is long... the bearings get pressed onto 4 spots along the shaft so are each bearing the slightest bit different in size so as they are slid on, let’s say the most rear goes first, then 3rd, then 2nd then 1st? They are rings correct? That’s what I saw on SOR website which was the pix I’d added... they have holes in them for oil transfer right? Which is where I have a chunk of metal wedged; in the 3rd bearing. I’m pretty sure now the metal wasn’t moving so much as oil and it was causing a darkening as I looked. Thought I could see it in the video but twice I watched I wasn’t able.

I have far more to say but need to feed myself and kid and hope he’ll nap...

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

I’ve alrwady pondered beer w/ lunch.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Am I directing the kid to look at the right place? The little holes on each rocker arm? Could be blond moment right now.

I AM noting far more oil at the back half end then the front although everything IS wet.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Breuler, breuler?

 

[Prairie Swamp]

Run the engine with the VC off to see the oil. Might want to put safety specs on the kiddo.

 

[Infinity00]

I don’t think you’ll see it without running the engine. For a second I thought you’d put it all back together lickety split

 

[Infinity00]

Or spinning the oil pump but I can’t remember if that will defeat what you’re trying to determine

 

[Infinity00]

But yes there are holes it will spurt out of

 

[Infinity00]

Proof you can trust your trusty assistant

IMA Dumbass - there's no oil pan on it is there.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

Oh duh. Crud, I did t think about the oil pump needing to spin. I put the old pan back up w/ 4 stews for now, rain coming. Valve cover is back over top end but gasket slipped off back edge. It’s a wench w/ my fancy rainbow of coolant hoses. A new gasket will tap back in tighter when time comes. But regardless, it wet up there. Not as I thought it would have been. Also it’s been getting hot up top, paint on VC is lifting off half length closest to fan.

Kid is wearing PPE, I had himadd the plug to the pan.... beer is mine.

 

[Infinity00]

Love the moon boots and shorts

Yeah this is a house w/ free range chickens. Boots are year round. He’s wearing a moon shirt right now too. My brilliant kid is learning so much about numbers... sockets, drill bits, he’s into one thing after another.

So once I get the painted new used pan I could add oil and then run the truck minus the VC and see how the oil is flowing? Right? Right. I need to do some soul searching here on how deep I want to get.
You all might know that my rear main has been puking all over my transmission... mounts are goobed up like a well fed infants diaper.... but $$ is tight. One of my dogs has to have surgery to remove a potentially cancerous growth. Just got the quote yesterday for $750-1k.
I’m picking up shifts and better able to now since kids dad is on sch vaca, he’s willing to take him more so I can work. We won’t talk about other bills... my head is like a hamster wheel right now.

Yes, put the oil pan on and see if oil is moving correctly. The other stuff you could do. Seals are cheap, bearings for cam aren’t too bad and Kurt probably has some reasonably priced mounts.

Saying my mounts are trashed... too much oil?
