first time portin...

Which is pretty much anywhere in the Pistons vertical movement

 

Thank fur your input Redfin and Clem...ok...thank you...I'm past that fur now...new question... When puttin your seals in...you put then first...then crank and bearins? When I did my 268 last year...I put my seals in first..then crank and berins. But I had heat the case to get the bearings to go in. I was nerves about gettin the seal to hot. I know it's possible... Is the the right to do this...and when I put the bearings on the crank...I heated the bearings and froze the crank...the bearings are suppose to slide right next to the crank right...that's where I made them sit when I put them on my 268..…thank you...

 

damm...sorry fur the typos...lol..

 

Oh and how long do you leave the bearins in the oven...the video I watched was never clear about that...all I got of it was you have to set your oven at 150...my oven only gose down to 170...when I did my 268...I don't think I wait long enough..the bearins got hung up...thank you...

 

I heat the case halved at 325 and drop the bearings in the case first. Then heat the bearings with a heat gun and I can push the crank in by hand sometimes all the way to seated if I'm quick enough.

 

Thank you fur your input md...on my next one...I will try that method...I did get the bearins in and the case closed up and one seal in...on the drive side...the seal went in real easy...it should have went in tight right?....on my 268...it seems like both seals went in tight...dose this mean the case is wore on the drive side now...thank you...

 

How long do you leave the half's in the oven at 325...thank you...

 

Half hour

 

Thank you fur your input md...ok...I have one more to split...thank you..what about the seal I wrote about above...thank you...

 

I don't know anything really but I would think the seal needs to be pushed in fairly snug? If not wouldn't you get air leaks?

 

Thank you fur your input Clem...that dose seem to be...but I wasn't sure...I never split a 372 case and rebuilt it...on my 268 I have..I have replaced the jugs on the 372s...damm...I have to resplit the case again....and find another half...thank you...

 

Don't do that on my account!! Wait till someone who knows chimes in or pressure test it first.

 

Lol...thanks fur your input Clem...yah it don't set in tight enough...I thought maybe the oil pump would hold it in...but it would have to expanded to make a seal...I'll wait tho...maybe some one has an idea about it...thank you...

 

If the seal didn't go in by hand you should be fine. It will seal on the sleeve that goes on the crank there.

 

Thank you fur your input md... It looks like the case has wallord out...wish I would have seen that before I pressed the bearins and close the case up...lol...I need the practice any way...that one gose back on the self...lol...thank you...

 

That seal only seats close to the top. If you drive it too far it will be loose.

 

Thank you fur your input md...nah...I pushed it all the way in...easly...so I am gonna start my next project in a couple days...tear down...rebuild...

 

They do go easy if they go too far.

 

Thank you fur your input md...lol...I found the problem with the seal and why it didnt fit right....I feel like a dumb azz...I put the seals on the wrong sides...I put the fly wheel side on the clutch side and the clutch side on the fly wheel side...uggggggggggggggg..lol...clutch side... dose the seal look like it's too low on this one side... fly wheel side .the seal don't even come close to sealin on the shaft... live and learn...lol...thank you...

 

It happens. I did the same thing once. I threw all the seals in one bag.
