Everything fits.....
Some issues with the rocker box and rocker arms. I don't like the way things fit and I may strip it yet again and try and build a better one with the spares and original parts.
There also seems to be a warp somewhere. I haven't looked into it closely enough to guess but can manage to shuv the corner of a cig pack under the corner of the rocker box.
Front bearing carrier was much tighter to squeeze in than remove. I chilled and well lubed it no problem
I noticed now that the oil lube hole in the bearing was in the 6 o'clock possition. I know thats how I took it apart (center punched the castings). I rotated the carrier so now its at 11 o'clock, This doesn;t present any oiling problems because the outer race of the front carrier hsa a relief machined in it so oil can feed up and around to catch the cam and main oil gallery. Hopefuly some of the gray beards will jump in and tell me if this was a mistake ( its still easy to spin things right up untill I close the cover.
Oh ya crud in the cam, noticed the balck specs as I prelubed it. took me about an hour to finaly get it clean....
Oh ya and that iron casting that holds the crank gear and torques the preload on the trust bearings. It looks black in my early pictures and now its painted because a little rub with some oil released all kinds of crap. I washed it, scrubed it and fianly resorted to Naval Jelly ( I love that stuff thanks again Jack ). One clean and painted I now believe I have sorted out all the dirt
Also of interest but little practical use, the oil pump can be flipped. I guess if you order the counter rotating cam you can simple flip the pump and run the engine back wards.
There's an interesting hole bored down from the deck orependicular to the rear cam bearing. This is acst iron bearing so lubrication is critical. Oil travels threw the cam center, but I think at one time this may have been a presurized bearing. Might try and do someth ing with this if I can find a way to tap into it connect it to the gallery below. Notice it to the left of the exhaust lifter and block studd
So here's the pictures
