Here's a very detailed rebuild article. Good Stuff! ;D
http://www.webrodder.com/index.php?page=showStories&search=nailheadIn a few cases, I've had the exact same issues as this guy did....the same problem with the oil pump, and I used the same technique to size my camshaft bearings (whom I can thank Doc for!).
Just a few comments on what I read from the articles so far:
- my Zollner replacement pistons did not have the piston pin relocated, so deck height was near stock at 0.045". However, piston dome volume was a tad less on my Zollners at 46.5 cc vs the 51 cc of the Egge pistons used in the article. Resulting compression ration was similar. I came up with 9.8 using stock steel head gaskets.
- Many don't like installing hardened valve seats due to thin head castings.
I still have to read the rest....there is a lot.
All in all, it appears to be a very well done article!
P.S. anyone have a technique to save that article on my computer? I don't wanna spend $60 for reprints. :-\
