No Title
Not sure why my pictures didnt post last time, I have posted a picture of the bolt first.
You were correct top bearing cover no longer moving.
I have been using anti-seize on all bolts, should I have been using loctite?
Replaced the missing crank shaft bolts at HD tonight, used stainless steel. Guy at HD thought there might be an issue using stainless on an aluminum block in true internet fashion I found people on both sides of the fence. Coated with anti-seize and installed.
Still had trouble finding torque specs for the crank case, used the bolt dimensions to find torque using maxrules, used 270 in lbs for alen key bolts inside case and 70 inlbs for outside bolts. Did not find a torque pattern, I used a torque pattern based on one I found in the Selco book although not the same engine. Same went for the exhaust manifold cover used 70 in lbs from Maxrules and found a similar pattern in the selco book they had a pattern for a 75hp 98-99 pretty much identical bolt pattern.
Installed 2/3 of the covers above and below the fuel pump. Seems the rebuild kit I purchased may have shorted me one gasket as I only have 2. The other may turn up.
I cleaned up the cover to the right of the fuel pump its a linear cover with two gaskets. I posted a picture of the one of the screens which I removed as it kept coming out when I cleaned the covers, didnt want it to end up the in engine. Are these replaceable? Am I ok without one? I plan to install an inline fuel filter.
Installed the bottom bracket which looks like I need another gasket below it, it was not in the kit. Any idea what the name of that would be?
Any advice on how much I can reassemble before re-mounting to motor outside? Its getting heavy but certainly manageable. Obviously the more I can do inside the better! Its getting pretty cold around here!
Is there a point at which I can do some compression testing without completing reassembly?
