‘86 fixer upper update
Attempting to restore my 86 model, today I started looking at the engine. First thing first, the upper cylinder head is disassembled, and all the hardware is in a little bowl for me to figure out. (Yay!) I knew I had one broken rocker arm valve tapper, so I’d already sourced a replacement. Digging through the parts, I realized I actually had 3 broken. So I found 2 more for a decent price and got them headed my way. I don’t know if I have all the bolts, but it doesn’t seem like I do. So I’m working through that puzzle with a print out of the parts diagram. Thinking I’m more than likely going to have to order some of those as well. Can’t find my caliper to measure them either, so that’s going to be a tomorrow task.
Once I’m sure it’s all there, I’m going to organize it properly and then pull the head and have a look inside the cylinder. Just too dark to keep going tonight and my garage lighting is in need of an upgrade. I’m invested in this now though. I’m just really hoping I don’t miss anything. A pile of random screws and bolts and sleeves and a tiny little picture on a diagram doesn’t inspire much confidence. Honestly I might end up ordering an all new set of bolts since luckily they are available and not too expensive. So, I’m wondering if anyone here has a nice guide or something like that about assembling the cylinder head? Thanks! |
