Engine Continued

The cylinder block was painted and I started to put the engine together.

First step was the camshaft. It looked good, no marks and the bearing looked good to. Its an early engine so it only have one bearing instead of three as in later engines.

Step two, crankshaft. Bearings are ok. Everything has been cleaned and I have got new look tabs. I used a lot of engine oil when I put all the parts back.

Now it started to be interesting. When I put the bolts back on and torked them to 60 lbs/ft, will the crankshaft still move freely?
I did it in stages and checked after every stage and YES it moved perfect at maximum tork.

So far so good!!
