Yeah those would be a great fit! I dont think they will support the weight though.

I am tryimg to install the crank sprocket, If anybody has any tips that would be great. I can get it about 1/5 of the way on but then it gets real tight. I have heated it up with the torch and applied a little assembly lube but it is still getting hung up. Does anybody have any recomendations?

Good gravy! I guess that sounds like an exciting option. Do you recomend any tools for pounding it on or should it just slip on if I dry ice it and heat the sprocket.

Sounds like a Key way issue. Remove the key from the Key way in the crankshaft and see if the gear slides on and off freely. If it does, you have found your problem. Also ... Check the slot in the gear that the key fits into. If it is damaged you must replace the gear. I have seen this before and a new key will usually fix the problem provided the gear is not damaged. You should not have to Heat, Cool, or Pound on the gear to get it on. Good Luck, Jim

If you haven't dealt with the water pump seal yet, the way I did it was to tap it into place with a large socket that was about the same size as the outer diameter. I used a rubber mallet to avoid "cutting" the rubber on the seal. If you work with it, it should go in ok. as for removing the key, i'm kind of rugged on this. If you use a small flat head screw driver and slide it under one side of the key, you might be able to work it out with some light tapping from a hammer. the key shouldn't be wedged in very tight so good luck. and you be rollin'.

Thanks, I was pretty excited when I saw what they had done. I painted the inside of the oil pan with a high temp oil resistant engine paint. So I hope that holds up. The pan had paint on the inside from the factory, I hope I made a good choice and I dont get burned down the line with particles of paint cloging stuff up. The intake manifold looks hot. I cant wait to put the pics up. I plan to do it tomorrow.

Some of these heat resistant paints benefit from being 'Stoved' .. baked in an oven for maybe 1/2 an hour at about 180 c for an example .. then allowed to normalise as the oven cools .. just a thought .. check it out before doing so though .. respect , arthur, (*v*) ...

Coal, Yes, what you have still in the cover is whats left of the old seal assembly. Once you drive that out you should be able to install the new water pump seal assembly. Don't forget to install the seal at the backside of the cover for the balance shaft that drives the water pump. The hole you found in the cover is indeed the weep hole for the water pump. Good luck! Jim P.S. How did you make out with the crank gear issue? Was it the key way?

Still have not dealt with the crank issue. I have the key removed, still have the sprocket getting hung up. I found a local shop that might be able to get me a used sprocket. I was thinking I wanted to resolve the water pump part first. The remainder of that water pump seems really stubborn. I think I will get the propane torch out and let the two of them mediate through a mallet and a socket.

So on the back oil seal. I think it is supposed to bo in with the spring and grooved side facing the block, is this correct.

looks right, the pressure would open up the grove to create the seal. where did you get all the bits from to do your rebuild? i have a spare engne in the shed that i am hoping to rebuild and parts in the uk are either non existant or expensive, i am hoping to find somewhere abroad and have them posted over.

My local machine shop supplied me with most of my parts. They were able to order from their supply house. rockauto.com has a pretty good selection of parts that would be a good place to start looking.
