Well,

Here she is, painted with the cam and crank installed.  Funny thing though, when we started to put the rob bearings in, one set was different, just like the pistons.  So back to where I bought them to swap them out...LoL!!

 

Attached is a pic..it's kinda blurry, but you'll get the idea...

I had exactly that with cam bearings. Wrong part in the box. What a pain getting that one figured out!

LoL!!

Thanks Steve, so I picked up a new water pump, oil pump, cam lock and button today. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll have an oil pan and have the one rod bearing replaced with the correct one.

Cam lock and button? I've never used one on a small block Chevy. Did George say it was necessary?

Hey Carl,

Not needed, but suggested it's a good idea and considering the cost it's an inexpensive piece of mind....

Well,

Stopped by George's today..things are progressing nicely. The heads are cleaned..and getting ready for the new valve guides and the 3 angle grind...the valve covers are all cleaned up and ready for paint as well as the Edelbrock intake is cleaned up and ready to go..I suspect by the end of the month, we'll be completing the build and doing the swap!

You likely are aware of this Shawn but make sure those head gaskets don't go on there dry.

By now it's likely old school but I was taught when I was a teen that you soak both sides of the head gasket with auto trans fluid before installing it. I'm sure these days some makes something that "works much better" but I've never had a head gasket issue yet on an engine I've done, which isn't a big amount, maybe 15 or so.

How are you going to reattach the PCV canister inside the valley?  looks like that thing covers up the screw hole.  And yes you need to reinstall that canister.

If you end up with funny rattling sounds coming from your fresh motor,  its probably that valley pan.

But that is just my opinionbiggrin

They used one on Horsepower, I forget what the reason/purpose was.
