Here's where i'm at now: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...5&postcount=40 |
Everything was cleaned.
Used a drill wire brush to remove gasket sealant.
Brake cleaner and high pressure air to remove oil and other debris.
Make sure that all oil gallys are clean.
Used a tin can that squirts oil and applied it during assembly.
I used almost a bag of rags during assembly.
Plastigauge to check bearing clearence on crank, rods & camshafts.
You need some "special" tools.
Torque wrench, feeler gauges, piston ring compressor and some other tools.
I had everything neded in my work shop.
