Magnum swapping the 72 Scamp!
Cant remember at this point but yeah I think they are stock length. I had brian at IMM help me with that when I was doing it.
Yeah that one definitely felt lucky!
I have been plugging away here and there when I had time. Painting parts eats up so much time! haha
When taking off the main caps / bearings I accidentally dropped a couple bearings. I didn't feel good putting those back in so that meant taking the crank out. Doing that without taking the pistons out wasn't the easiest task but I felt it necessary and would also allow me to clean the bottom half of the rear main area and inspect the bottom bearing halves. all the bearings looked good, but I kind of expected that.
Painted up K member, oil pan, timing cover. new front seal on the timing cover as well.
Gasket scraping fun!
oil pan installed
Remembering the order of spacers and brackets was a chore even using photos as reference. haha. But its currently sitting right side up again, which feels like a good milestone! I painted the damper orange and cleared over some timing tape as well.
keeping the dream alive. haha... next up have to order myself a converter!
