Re:Sohc Block Assembly From Bare-Drop in Ready. Need help
Ive looked through 3 online manuals since Ive gotten home but absolutely none even remotely touch an engine overhaul
Anyone happen to have one?

online manuals suck. they are good for a quick reference, but spend the $15 and get yourself a hard copy. its just the way to do it.

Putting the oil/water pumps and ---- like that isn't going to be your problem. Installing rings, and dropping the pistons in the bore, installing the bearings correctly and ---- like that are going to be where you run into problems.
You need a manual and an extra set of hands that has done stuff like this before. Get those two things and you won't have to worry about if you screwed something up or not.

Re:Sohc Block Assembly From Bare-Drop in Ready. Need help
I know how to do bearings and rings (maybe not set ring gaps) because Ive rebuilt a chevy 350 before. But all this other ---- is what I dont wanna mess up, rear main seals, thrust washers and setting the timing when dropping the motor onto the head
BTW- I blew my motor today, absolutely knuckled the ****** on the way to work, smoke everywhere, huge knock from drivebelt side of block, thats what you get for driving with less than 4.5psi of oil pressure
Oh well, Im buying a co-workers 91 ranger with quite a bit of new maintanance sometime this week for $1000 canadian, will be nice to have a trcuk/beater anyways

Re:Sohc Block Assembly From Bare-Drop in Ready. Need help
keep bumpin cause you need helms plain and simple. If this is your first real build which it sounds like expect everything to go wrong its how it is. It took me a long time lots of blood and sweat to be able to do things right the first time
