1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter

This has been sitting on the bench for months ready to be cleaned up and put back together finally got the ambition this afternoon. Another RV2 brought back from the grave. New crank bearing, crank surfaces polished new old stock pistons and rods new valve plates from a O’Reillys rebuild that I scavenge for parts, new gaskets O-rings, NOS front seal. It’s getting really hard to find parts and gaskets for these all things now with the supply chain issues. Luckily I’ve been gathering up new old stock over the last few years. Maybe tomorrow I’ll mix up some black Southern Polyurathanes Epoxy and shoot some of remaining piece parts. Next up is the distributor, starter and put the alternator back together.

 It’s nice the 66 four-door that I stripped the air conditioning out of had the original compressor with this original September 1965 tag on it pretty cool

The O-ring pictures are to allow people to order all rings from websites like the O-ring store when you can’t find full rebuild kits anymore. These are for the Seal housing and for the oil pump cover.
