Re: Secondchance - 380 build begins!
#1 intake set up for camshaft timing.
 A long story short, first TBC was determined and degree wheel set to 0. Then, camshafts were set up using factory dowel method to get them in proximity. Degree wheel method confirmed right side intake using dowel method yielded 118 degrees - 4 degrees off. Degree wheel method on #1 cylinder and #6 cylinder was used to set intake @114 and exhaust @109. Setting camshaft timing using degree wheel and digital gage is a long and mind bending experience for those who do this occasionally. A great big THANK YOU Phil!!! - I am just a helper

Re: Secondchance - 380 build begins!
Phil noticed carbon build up on the spark plug seats.
So, he makes a custom tool to plug the spark plug thread and cleaning tool that slips over the plug.  Windage tray and pick up.  Fully assembled minus oil filter housing and water pump.   380 is finally complete for installation. Just need to install oil filter housing and water pump. Thank you Phil, Jim, Lee, Jerry, Ryan and the WAZOO gang! Last edited by secondchance; 05-26-2014 at 09:31 PM. |

It looks great and will surely draw a h_ly sh_t! from you the first time you put the hammer down through 3rd gear (my very favorite gear). Might be a good phone video from the passenger seat.

Re: Secondchance - 380 build begins!
Lookin' good!
Hopefully not a typical Z project, like mine seem so often to be, where it looks like I'm about done, and it turns out that I'm ABOUT started, actually... |

Yun, If the air horn doesn't make it in time, I will provide a loaner. No Worries!
