Restart the rebuild
Mocked up the timing cover. Not sure about the color yet. Not quite the same shade as the MP red. Also double checking hole depth in block for the cover bolts.
TDC on dial indicator matched up with TDC on timing cover and orig style balancer. I have a new Trickflow SFI I mocked up. Quite a bit thicker, but has an inner offset. I'm HOPING no pulley alignment issues. Degree markings on opposite side...
Got oil pickup tube depth set. I removed pump, backed off a couple turns. Retightened shy of where it was previously. Remounted pump, placed pan over it and pushed pan down which tightened the pickup. Pulled pan back off and taped 1/4 piece of alum to pickup give me the depth off bottom of pan. Placed pan on again and gained that 1/4". Pan was on without gaskets so another 1/8" maybe?
Windage tray on.
Oil pan and tc cover final install next.
