65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
Another minor update - Got the crank thoroughly clean. The polished main and rod bearing surfaces look great so it’s ready to install. Installed and applied break in lube to the upper main bearing shells. Got the crank set in place - not as young as I used to be at 77! Got the lower bearing shells installed to the main bearing caps and after lubing them, installed and torqued them per specs from the 65 TSM. I need to pick up some appropriate size hose to protect the rod journals when I go to install the rod/piston assemblies
Yes, Nr 2 and 4 main caps do have the windage tray provisions that I will use on this motor. Overkill, maybe, but i have everything so I’ll use it
