Funniest story I have is I remember one NA lump I rebuilt, I managed to install the heads on backwards onto the block…. No harm done but funny! My work colleges had a laugh! 😂 Need abit more lube on the threads Spence, sounded like My wallet!

How many times a year do you calibrate your torque wrenches? I have a craftsman torque wrench that's from the 60's from my grandfather to far to me. It's never off more than a half pound testing four times a year! It's definitely not digital! We do a ton of torquing, working in an a&p engine shop! You don't EVER want to over torque anything as it's all soft aluminum from the 90's at newest! If you're not using a torque plate to torque your heads down you are sitting on a ticking time bomb, especially with the post engines like these Subarus and all aircraft engines in GA!😮 Thank you for showing people how to do things properly there's so few of us left! 🙏

@andrewlangford88 Жыл бұрын

Looks great but I'm very concerned about those flywheel bolts! It looks like you plated them? Plating bolt significantly lowers the strength of them (i did a similar replate job with my partners ej and i snapped quite a few bolts reinstalling them due to them being weakened) I would not trust replated flywheel bolts, if they break and that flywheel breaks loose you could loose your legs. Please please replace them with new ones! I would also replace any mission critical bolts such as engine mounts bolts, case bolts etc. With new.

Given what they're known to do, it makes absolutely no sense using a standard rod and piston. Even a very light upgrade in this department would be very sensible, and to think that the best offerings here are British too. Silly. And when the 257 lets go, which it will, you will end up going 207 anyway.
