Message: [QUOTE="duddy, post: 1047535, member: 4714"] Well since I had a piston go, the block is at the machine shop and I have gone over what I will be putting together. I have two questions that are at the beginning of the build that I need to address. 1 How to time the came to the crank. I seen the mark on the cam gear, and found the marks on the crank. My question is, Is it just a PITA or is there a easier method that I am not seeing. 2 Had a buddy help me pull the engine apart and he took the bolts out of the crank adapter, I stopped him on the last bolt:doh:, I can just get new bolts, install and torque them and and should be fine correct? Also, engine break in, I know royal purple has a cam lube for new cam startup. I was planning on running a batch of 5w-40 royal from now on since napa cuts us one hell of a deal. Can I prelube the engine from the test port at the oil filter housing or is there a better place to accomplish this. I want to prefill the oil galleys when before I start the truck. Figured I would dump one gallon over the rockers and use the next two gallons to prelube. I am going to using white lithium grease at assembly. This is probably a bit overboard, but I plan on building everything this coming weekend and have it running sunday. To pull on the following thursday friday and saturday. [/QUOTE]
