Next up, the camshaft installation.
Be extremely liberal with the engine lube!
Close up pic of the timing gear and crank keyway.
The piece de resistance, the AFR165 58cc, CARB E.O. equipped aluminum cylinder heads getting their first test fit!!! Along with the blue anodized 1.6 roller rockers. This should give the XE264HR camshaft ((.512" lift) a total of about .540" lift. This is a sneak peek here, I can't wait to see the fully assembled longblock on the engine stand.
The Ford Racing HD roller lifters are installed. They've been sitting in an oil bath for 3 days.
Here's a look at the head gasket along with some putty to check valve-to-piston clearance. He measured about .193" intake and .220" exhaust. Plenty!!
Everything is checking out just right with clearances! Piston to valve, valve cover to rocker, pushrod length. We are go for final assembly!
