Replaced the cam seals, they were so hard it felt like they were made from plastic.

Got the timing belt on as well. I will have to take it apart later, since I still want to replace the lifters and springs and valve stem seals.

Small setback. I did a leakdown test on the motor and it was poor with leaks through the exhaust valves. I pulled the head and valves looked pretty crusty, but the worst part was when I removed them. Found a fricking hole in the casting right behind the exhaust valve. So now I need to source a new head.

Amazing stuff man. I can see you're also in Dallas which is neat cuz I'd love to see this thing pop out to a couple meets or something when it's finished! Becuase there is nothing like a well built 1G, and if I ever came across one, I'd sell my 420A in a HEARTBEAT especially as clean as yours is becoming on the inside and already is on the outside!! Proud to see it man.

 

[Kaane]

Hey great build. Did you have the VC blasted before powder coat. I had one done years ago and they didn’t remove and clean behind the baffles. Ruined a new build for me.

 

[Kaane]

They taped up all the baffles before blasting, so nothing got behind them.
