SLANTY BLUES
I do not have a catch can on the radiator. On torquing the head down I snug them down@ 45 # starting in the middle and working out left and right, then again @ 75 # I believe was what it's was. ( what ever the specs were that I looked up)
The dog house just gets fresh air from through the grill, The van still has the sheet metal underneath to direct the air through the radiator and dog house. NO cool fresh air to the carb.
first thing I did was pull the plugs.( I had already drained most the coolant out the petcock .)
spun the engine over with the starter, 2-6 spit coolant out, didn't notice any out of #1 (?) Which might explain the others being cleaner. #1 is more burnt looking than carboned up. (Note the white specks at top of piston).
Here are the plugs #1 - 5 -6
and the head
These last 2 are with the gasket. No hole in head as in gasket. The push spot on the fire ring I believe was from comp. Head came off easy.
I had the timing at 10* at idle don't remember what the full advance was at. I remember on the original engine I had it at @34* full advance and wanted this new engine lower, maybe it was around 30*. Let me throw this in the mix, I also installed a Oregon Cam everyone recommended .Not much , but thats all the specs I have on it.
I'm going to drop the oil pan and put new rod bearings in while it's down. I didn't like all the hydrolocking going on while trying to load the van the day I towed it home. And I'll check the push rods for clearance . Thanks AL.
