After blasting and priming 2 other earlier shrouds as well as another set of tins I found this doghouse shroud so decided to go with it which required me to round up associated tins several of which I had to repair . I think I have it all now as soon as a new Hoover bit arrives.

I got my new cylinders and associated top-end parts back on. Feels good to be making progress.

Installed new captive nut in upper case mount. I used sleeve retainer. I hope it never strips because it might be a pain to remove. I guess I could always drill it out

Where did you score the press-in nut? I need two of 'em.
Thanks.
Edit: I found some at Kaddie Shack, CSP, and Heritage Parts Centre (of course, I will use the only source I found stateside). |

Cool thanks. Funny, Wolfgang wants 3 bucks, Kaddie Shack wants 9.

I've always had good service from Joe and the crew at Wolfgang, so I'll go through them. I hear you on shipping though...it would seem something so small could go into an envelope and mail for a fraction of the price.
Cheers! |

Two of the exhaust guides have some kind of strange groves at top (not all the way ) Guides feel ok with valve inserted.
Could someone have knurled them on purpose ? Weird

it looks like the guide is threaded. this is often done when removing them. is this the head your using now? _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's

Also, the threaded portion didn’t go in far. It was weird. No one ever spoke up about it so I just decided to leave them in. |

Hi I think no one spoke up because they didnt have the nerve to mention that you can use a guide like that. It will be detsroid probably after break in. The valve stem needs the full support of the guide and the rocker arm and adjuster puts side load on the valve so it will contact that area. It will also probably hold excessive oil in the grooves which isnt good either.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Do you have a machine shop near by? They would easily press the old ones out and slip in news ones. Which you can have reamed or you can do it the old fashion way and polish the valve stems till they fit assuming you use new valves. _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's

If it smokes bad ill buy some new heads or redo the guides and valves. I’m going to run it before I put the body back on . 8/10 of the guide was not like that and there was no play. I’m not sure what they were thinking or doing but it was a running engine and everything else was within tolerances.
And, Yes, I basically agree with you.😀
From what I can deduce this could be a old tuners way of cooling the exhaust valve but putting an oil retention groove in ?

Doghouse oil cooler adapter has gap but no built in raised parts. Gap isn’t much. I guess I need to measure for 10 to 25 percent crush and shim accordingly ?
New cooler looks to have raised edges around bolt holes.

Gas pedal springs
I think I must be ordering the wrong part . Neither of these look correct. Do they ?
The one the the right is one that I cut and bent and it will keep pedal sort of upright but not enough tension

I’ve got the engine back together enough to run. It’s running but I’m having carburetor issues. The engine ( 1641 ) isn’t getting enough fuel. I can get it started and keep it running if I just about completely cover the intake. Just leaving a sliver of space for air. I’ve got the bypass screw at 2 1/2 and theVolume control screw at 4 as per volkbits instructions. I’ve tried various settings. I’m not sure what I’m missing.
This has a 205k distributor. I’m not sure about the pump but is getting gas to the carb. The carb is a used brosol h30/31 that I cleaned and rebuilt .

check intake for exposed nipples and vacuum leaks. How do you know its a fuel issue? Also, if its not getting a good supply of fuel, it wont run long. _________________ -'85 c10 5.3 LS, 222 cam, long tubes, x pipe, 3 inch spin tech's
