The Ford valve stem is smaller , my machinist made a insert inside of Austin guide . There are different ways to do this .. A good machinist can do this or make a one piece guide .. STEVE
This is flywheel notched 60 notches minus 2 for the Electromotive ignition .. A magnetic pickup in the case sees the flywheel notches and when the 2 missing notches go by it tells the Engine Control Unit where the crank position is to fire spark plugs .. The flywheel is not lightened to keep the spinning inertia going between shifts .. Next is assembling rods and pistons and install of windage tray , oil pump with micron filter on pickup and block to crankcase re enforcing studs (2) .. Ali pan is on and 3/8" ARP studs in block with .044 thick solid copper head gasket .. STEVE
The adjustable cam timing gear , which is adjustable from where the generator mount was ( there is no generator and the piece that covers the cam gear is changed) , you will see that later . The head is test fitted with ARP washers and 12 point nuts .. Studs are sealed for water seepage and Loctite .. The water circulation this year is from a tank behind driver that will be pumped to the 2 fittings in the head and to both ends of the block in the port area , (and to turbo for cooling ) then out the side manifold back to tank . Things will come together later as assembly goes on .. STEVE
