Starting in on the Engine

Well, with the compressor down this week-end we decided to start in on the engine.

We pulled the heads and cylinders. Pulled the clutch pack, removed the clutch housing. Pulled the alternator cover and removed the starter.

We then disassembled the heads, labeling parts and placing them in plastic bags for the machine shop.

I used a trick in removing the opening and closing rocker arms. When I use to do a valve adjustment on my 748, you had to pull the cams. I used a small body dent slide hammer to remove the cams.

I discovered that I could to the same when removing the opening and closer rocker arm shafts.

Here are some shots from this week-ends work:
