With the axles installed we now have complete engagement of the splines on the axles. This one improvement will make the differential as strong as possible. Not to mention that the rotors will be closer to the backing plate.

  • I just got done performing this task on a block that had spun these bearings all around the block camshaft bore. Just made me sick. What idiots.

  • Look there are the main galley oiling holes that go up to the Camshaft. You should make an effort to check out these holes and see if you can see holes in the bearings once you install them. If not you just screwed up.

  • Notice that the bronze freeze plugs are installed. They are the best. I also like them because they do not corrode as fast as the galvanized freeze plugs. I also think that they are more likely to press out if the block was to freeze.

  • The other way is the thick main webs that the lower end has. Now once the General figured out how to work a computer they redesigned the block to save cast iron and screwed it all up. Go figure.

  • Bamm! Notice those nice custom machined pistons? Well I did not cut any corners. They are custom cut to ensure that they all come up to the same height as each other.

  • I also utilize forged pistons to build these mail away motors. They cannot have any problems. I do not want to have any bad feelings across the world.
