Thread: My next dumb question. Check list?

Tweet

None that I know of, but it isn't all that hard to figure out. What you will have is:

1) Rotating assembly..........crank, rods, pistons, rings, main and conn rod bearings.

2) Valvetrain assembly.......cam, cam retainer, timing chain set, lifters, pushrods,

3) Heads. Heads, rockers, adjusting nuts.

4) Gasket set, with rear and front seals.

5) Head bolts, timing cover bolts, pan bolts, intake bolts. (If you have gone to all the trouble of having your block machined, I suggest new ARP bolts for everything.)

6) Misc hardware like key for crank, bolts for timing sprocket, etc. Comp Cams makes a neat kit for about $ 20 that includes all these little pieces everyone always loses. I bought one for the 350 in my 23 and it was a life saver.

7) Oil pump, pickup, driveshaft, and bolts. Again, while you are in there I suggest an aftermarket driveshaft like an ARP or similar.

There are probably some parts I've forgotten, but these are the major components.

OH, and get some good assembly lube and cam lube while you are at it. Also some break in lube.
