Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T
It's amazing how much time it takes to build something like this that most people never know. You are doing a great job, pan looks stock.

That oil pan turned out very nice!

Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T
Tasks to get the engine running...
It turns out that I need to have the engine running to complete the compression check. Simply using the starter to turn it over, like I would with a 4 stroke, will not yield accurate results. Here are the steps so far: 1) Battery cables - I could have probably jury rigged the battery cables; but, since I am starting the engine in the frame, I thought I might as well make the final ones. Here's a shot of the positive and one of the negative cables. These are very stout - 1/0 between the batteries and 2/0 from the last battery to the starter. I shouldn't have any voltage drop issues. 2) Rear main oil seal - I replaced the flywheel housing awhile ago but I didn't have a new rear main oil seal at the time. It was fine to not have the seal for mock-up. I put in a new seal and new pilot bearing. 3) Camshaft pulley - The original installation (C-70) had the fan running off of the camshaft pulley. In my installation, the fan will run from a separate pulley belt driven from the crankshaft. So, I needed to replace the pulley. 4) New injectors - There were 2 stuck injectors so I replaced them all. I'm hoping that is the reason that the engine made so much smoke. 5) Jake brakes - Since I had to flop the rocker arms over to replace the injectors, it provided an opportunity to install the Jake brake actuators. Here's a shot from the driver's side: And the passenger's side: I still need to bend the oil supply tubing for the Jakes and new fuel tubing before I can start it up. |
