72 duster resto
- Cam is degreed
- Verified the harmonic balancer TDC groove is accurate to TDC at center of #1 rod rotation dwell
- The 273 Stock adjustable Rockers are cleaned. Looking for a good set of replacement shafts, preferrably grooved
- Cam is coated and got all the stock 360 springs installed on the SM heads to lower pressure for break in (per Comp's instructions)
- Timing set is currently soaking in oil and then will be re-installed straight up dot to dot
- Timing cover needs a little more cleaning done and then will install the main timing seal and then the timing set again
Gettin' closer every day. Thankful it's not feeling like science class anymore. I think outside of getting the right sized pushrods I'm just at the point of bolting on parts and then getting the engine ready to break in.
Have most folks done cam break in with the engine in or out of the car? I dont have an engine stand, but could probably bolt up some 2x4's on the floor to support it and just get it ready to go. What are the advantages / disadvantages of doing the cam breakin outside of the car?
