| Re: Rebuilding an old Ford V-8 for mileage
Headway was made today. The assemblies of rod/piston/pin/keepers were pretty close on weights. The heaviest weighed 1435.9 grams, and the lightest 1435.3 grams. The assemblies had grease in the pin and rod bushing, so that could account for some of the variance.
Cleaned the block really well and washed, then sprayed the better part of 1 can WD-40 to keep things from rusting. The cam, lifters, and crank are now installed. Yahooo00.... Here are some pics:
