Best Slant 6 Reference Manual
This is gonna be my very first attempt at building an engine and since I've got all the pieces from the /6 that was original to my Scamp, I thought it would be a fun, learning project. I was just hoping there was a book that I could use as a reference manual, and would ask questions here if (when) I ran into things I don't understand. I don't NEED this motor, so my budget is "as little as I absolutely need to spend" to get it running. This will be a basic stock build with no "hop-up" parts.
The good news is that I'm enrolled in an auto mechanics continuing-education class at the local high school that meets two nights each week. The teacher owned his own garage for 20 years, and there are other students there who are much more advanced than I am who can lend a hand. The guy who sold me the Scamp is also enrolled, and he's the one who tore down the engine. Of course, he was the one who ran the engine without any oil in the first place, so maybe that would be a case of the blind leading the blind...
I do have a basic knowledge of how engines work, so I'll have to invest in that $5.00 book and the video suggested as a first step. I'll try to post the step-by-step on this build in the hopes it might help others looking to give this a try. Hey, with help from other members here, this could become the definitive reference for a basic slant six build!
Thanks for the suggestions! :cheers:
