BMT Forum Bot Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Moving right along, and spending right along too!!Anyway - Got the 711 engine out of the old R-600,and did the transfer of those "few" items that need changingto fit in the short hood of the B-67. Basically, everything onthe outside of the engine except the exhaust manifold andthe rear section of the air intake has to change. The engine was steam cleaned and degreased. It got two goodcoats of hi-temp enamel tonite, and looks great! I took off allof the aluminum water manifold and air intake pieces so I couldpolish them up. Bought all new Aeroquip engine hoses and re-useable ends. They don't give that stuff away!! Also got new upper and lower engine gasket sets, crank seals, clutch disc, throw-out bearing and pilot bearing on the way. Expensive week for the old wallet. I'm having the flywheel resurfaced, and will see if anyone will tackle re-surfacing the pressure plate. It looks pretty good, and I'll use it as is,if they aren't re-surfaceable.Time to get the radiator checked out and get the transmission covers offto see if everything's happy inside it.Moving right along >>>>>>>>>>>>>>View the full blog entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom309 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Sounds like the job's moving along just fine. There's always a lot of extra work to do, you just have to keep going and before you know it you'll be driving that thing down the road. It looks like it's going to be nice when it's done.
