Workin' on it
|
After a long, cold and busy winter, I've rejoined the work on The Zombie.
I'll be pulling the engine, eventually, but will be doing minor jobs along the way. Here's a step. I removed the air injection system. Easy enough and I'm sure it didn't work. Well, with no belt that was obvious. I've kept the pump as I might use it as a belt tensioner on another car. Something that surprised me was how loose the "shorty" belt from the crank to the fan had gotten. It's a 21" v-belt. Maybe I should go shorter or a better quality. I recall it being really tight when I re-mounted the fan bracket. The plugs on the rear of the heads where the air is injected were a minor struggle. Seems there was carbon or soot built up and the plugs are a bit longer than the nipples were. I had to clean the threads a bit and then crank the plugs fairly hard. I was afraid that I'd strip the threads in the aluminum heads. Makes a good reason to do it as part of a rebuild.
