Some small issues during removing of the old hard tape, next time I will remove it in intermediate steps, but in general not bad for the first time.

Today arrived the air cleaner housing from classic industries. Not bad for a replica, I guess.

Was thinking good to have a bore caliber for valve seats.
Good :8.70 mm (0.34252 ") Bad: 8.72-8.73 mm (0.34331-0.34370 ") Asked my old father and he produced for me. Probably the last mechanical work in his live, my most important memento. |

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Did you learn your machining skills from your father? That would definitely be a special piece to have something handmade. The chrome on the GM logo looks incredible Gerhard!:metal::chevy:

Compression test and leak test again with better equipment (to screw).
Comression (psi) /leak test (%) ok: 1: 180/17% 2: 190/42% 3: 190/42% 4: 180/28% 5: 180/25% 6; 190/25% 7: 180/22% 8: 180/22% Found ot that the position of the piston is very important for leak test. Sometimes you could turn the pushrod with the fingers, the valves are still open a crack and you get more percentages, see cylinder 2 e.g. |

Some interesting works on vacuum system:
1) A canadian friend gave me the advice that the spigot must be in the pipe- done. But than the porous hose became a leak. The switch point of the TH400 was rised dramatically, the switch over was very hard and the oil became foamy (Optimized for WOT (Wide Open Trottle)- Repaired and know now that hose, pipe and vacuum switch are working fantastic. 2) During the investigation found out that the vacuum advance in the distributor is dead too. Bought a new one AR23 (good advise from Gregski and Rich weyand here in the forum). START 5-7 inHg, Max. advance distributor degree 7.5° , Max inHg 11-12.5. 3) Some paint work for the new engine and changed the ugly blue distributor cap against a black one. |
