Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
Now that we know what went wrong, do you guys think that this lends itself more or less now to the cam being chewed up too bad to keep running it?
|
Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
I'd pull it and post up pics of it next. Youve gotten this far, so fix it right and don't just let this thread die. I say you gotta document the repairs too.:)

Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
I believe you indicated you loosen the oil pan and tried to remove it but could not based on the clearance to the frame. How confident are you on resealing the pan gasket with the clearance issue. Most of the time the oil pan will be a leaker, no one needs a leaker.

Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
.
Hopefully you have a hoist/crane to lift the block a bit to get the pan fully off and make room to do the gasket cleaning/replacement. Now is a good time to find a camera and inspect your cam dist drive gear. Either that or pull it out. -klb |

YoungPups method works perfect......If the the dist body is not seated tight on the intake you are not tight like prom night. The engine will run fine but NO oil pressure if you do it wrong.

I always used a long screwdriver to turn the shaft. |
Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
I just dont like telling people to stick a screw driver down into the engine. If this process works for you and you always used a screw driver to align the oil pump. Great stuff
But its Bad enough the dizzy gear gets installed wrong Plus bumping the starter to destroy the dizzy gear and maybe the cam gear. Cant imagine what could happen if something got dropped into the intake. Geee now what ? |
Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
It's pretty hard to lose a 16" screwdriver down the distributor hole.
|
Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
And its really hard to put the dizzy gear on backwards too but sh$t happens

Re: Need Advice! Do I Need a New Camshaft????
I have thought of taking an old distributor and grinding the teeth off the gear. You could just drop it in and turn the rotor where you want it. You could also use it to prime the oil pump.
I just don't pull the distributor enough to make it worth my wild so I use a screwdriver. |
