One last pour. Will sand out in a few hours. Thought I wanted it real shiny. But changed my mind. Don't want to get blinded when I look at the gushes. So going with a mat finish.

.Had a few touch ups to do but this is now. Should look good on the old girl.

All finished. Next weekend gonna map out where to put gauges and then cut and mount.

[spectra3279]

Ordered two cams, 2 sets of lifters,
2 sets of roller rockers and one distributor yesterday. Hoping to start putting the old girl back together the weekend after next.

Need a place to get some plug wires though. Need to be long enuff to go around Gill exhaust. Any recommended places.

Had planned on keeping the old skool look but broke down and bought some used gaffrig throttles. Couldn't stand the look of the Morse controls.

How good are the speedometers that use the little paddlewheel compared to pitot speedometers?

I would just got with GPS they are affordable and accurate. plus no lines to run. neither wheel or pitot are very accurate.

 

[spectra3279]

Do they have GPS units that use a regular gauge or are all of them lcd

Livorsi has analogue GPS gauge boundled with receiver. http://www.livorsi.com/catalog/speedo_gps.htm

I never liked the look of those controls

and knowing what I know from posts, every time I look at the pics of your helm I ask myself "WTF was the previous owner thinking when he installed those?"

I would of kept it old school too, by going with

Or do you not like the look of Morse all together?

 

[spectra3279]

I just dont like the look of them period. they seem to clutter it up the way they sit above the dash like that. Plus I wanted it so that all of the controls were together. Here is kinda how I am gonna lay it out. the controls are gonna go just below the trim indicator.

 

[spectra3279]

this is what I bought. should be in in about a week. Probably have to paint them but not bad for 150.

 

[spectra3279]

which looks better. still need to place the fuel gauges.

I get it , and by the way

That looks awesome :thumbsup

 

[spectra3279]

thanks. still trying to figure out the fuel gauge placements.

I figure the teak will perpetuate the old school look and give some more class at the same time.

 

[stickman07]

i'd put one on each side. Even lay out... Looks great.

I agree.
I also like the teak, nice touch.

 

[spectra3279]

That's what I went with. Still have a few parts to do. Waiting for new controls to finish it all up. Plus waiting for drizzle to stop.

Those new controls will really update things... can't wait to hear about the first trip out... should be awesome!

[spectra3279]

thanks.

I think I have B&M 2 speed trannys. anybody have any info on these things. like how to make sure thats what i got?

 

[spectra3279]

I think I have determined these are 2 speed trannys. I hooked up battery charger to tranny and positive to wire out of back of tranny. I hear a solonoid clicking.

Ok need some info from you guys. Need a wiring diagram for the 32. Any body got one. My making tape didn't hold and fell off.

Here is the new dash all mounted. Or atleast the top part. Waiting on switch panel for the bottom part.

Ok got dash mounted, upper part. Throttles have been installed. Trim indicators partially installed, lost 2 of the little pegs and springs. Gotta order those. Short block is built. Waiting on pushrods and timing chain/gears. Lower part of dash is ready to be coated with resin. Gauges are all hooked up.

OK, guys and dolls, the motor is back together and hopefully will get it back in this weekend. will still have to break in the cam and take it out to newport so I can break it in. But that will be the following weekend.

 

[alohajeff]

Did you update to a roller cam? If not, did you at least load up on high zinc oil? A bottle of GM Break-In additive or similar might be a most excellent idea if you haven't already added one to the crankcase. I am overly cautious after wiping out a few lifters and the cam a few years ago. The same oil I had used for years went Earth friendly and didn't tell me. They reduced the zinc which ruined my 4th of July weekend. I'd hate to see all your hard work go to waste because of the wrong oil.

Aloha

 

[spectra3279]

Have not put oil in yet. Everything is coated in assembly lube. Any recommendations on a good oil to use for break in. Something I can pick up locally.

[spectra3279]

No roller cam, can't afford that yet.

Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk 2

 

[alohajeff]

GM has their EOS additive... Comp Came has some, Crane, etc. The key is to ensure the zinc content is sufficient. Brad Penn has a break in oil that worked well for me in a non-boat motor a few years ago. I gave up on flat tappets and run rollers now because I didn't want to worry about lifter / lobe failure due to crap oil.

If you do a Google search for high zinc break in oil I am pretty sure you'll find the info you need.

Aloha

 

[Soldout]

Rotella has like 1400+ppm zinc. Works well as break in and everyday use

Which formulation? The newer CJ-4 has reduced zinc additive content than the previous spec. I have heard too many numbers to know which to believe.

I still run the Rotella T 15/40 in just about everything I own except my Yukon and Subaru. It is good inexpensive oil and the price lets me change it out far more often than if I was running the exotic stuff. Even my CRF450R gets it and it works great on the engine and trans side. I just wish they still offered the older CI-4 spec stuff.
