Hi guys;
I"m doing the Screaming Eagle 95" upgrade with new cams etc. I am doing all the work myself cause that's the way I am. LOL I have engine out (built a stand for it for bench) have stripped it down to lower cases and rods. Did all my black wrinkle paint prior to stripping so that overspray wouldn't be a chore as I am putting the full chrome dressup kit on . So now the questions. I put the screaming eagle cylinder studs in . They sure screw in lightly? They come with locktite already applied so letting them sit for a day before putting jugs on and new pistons and rings. They don't mention in manual using any kind of sealants other then for certain bolts on the primary? Do i put the gaskets all in as they come or should i consider some kind of extra sealant?
I have bought all the cam tools for the twin cam engine so if anyone in the Calgary / Canada area wants to rent them later at a reasonable rent I will have them available. The trans I was going to only put a new seals and spacer on but now that its almost all the way stripped down I was wondering if I should pull the assy out and check for any problems? I bought a excellent video on rebuilding the 5 speed on ebay and its has a great tutorial? Any suggestions? Lastly I will paint my tins and I should be rolling in a month or 2 if weather is ready.
