Hi, I need some info on this straight 6. Monday I'm goin to assemble this motor at work. Its in the car. Don't know why the management didn't have the motor pulled to do it properly. No worries it is what it is. I need, wrist pin torque rod bolt torque ring orientation bearing clearance Oil pump specs There should be a book at the shop with this info, But seeing that I was told prior to leaving Friday I didn't have time to look. I want to be well armed and doing it by the book. Cheers Steve
30 on the wrist pins - use a punch in the pin when tightening. 40 on the rods, be sure of the amount of shims needed before final tightening. Stagger them ... .001 - .0015 on both rods & mains. As you know, shims determine clearance. Check for too much clearance in the gears & too much end play. Clean & align the squirters into the slurpers.
