He's cc'ing the combustion chamber. When you cc the heads, you measure the amount of fluid in cc's to fill the combustion so you have an accurate volume of the chamber. If you need to adjust, you can remove a little material until they are all equal. The dye makes it easier to see.
Thanks. I've never been involved in engine work that deep & had no clue.
How did you get the boot out, and how did you remove the shift pattern label?
What I read it was supposed to be prying via sheer force while watching out for the recoil that might hit your face..
I used a screwdriver, wrapped in a microfiber towel, to remove the boot and a screwdriver, pushed from the back, to remove the shift pattern insert.
The rootwood shift **** uses a set bolt to secure the ****, I believe the standard shift ***** just need to be pulled off.
Changed the oil and made up a "hands-free" IV for the refill. (Tired of worrying about filler neck overflow - which for some reason I often manage to cause no matter how patient I am.) Not this time!
Is that a rootwood ****? If so, I'd like to do the same thing. Where did you buy the insert? Is it aluminum? Was it an exact fit? Thanks in advance...
Yes, OEM rootwood shift ****. I purchased the insert from Joe Jackson (member here), he has brushed and polished aluminum inserts. There were three tabs that I cut off, was easy work with a dremel. After that it pressed right in, had some residue from the leather insert that I didn’t clean out. Seems to be doing a good job of keeping it in place.
A year and a 1/2 to get to this point and I’m happy to report themotor is built and timed! Excited to get cracking on the induction setup. Will be pretty trick all said and done.
Will make a thread this fall going over the build.
