While you are at it Nick..... may as well do two shifters at the same time:-) Ryan

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
I called the engine machine shop after work for an update.
The original cylinder heads are scrap (as I already knew but wanted a second opinion) The extra engine heads checked out good with MPI. The extra block checked good with MPI. The extra crank is scrap, I have to see it (so I will drop off my warranty W31 short block to hopefully donate the crank) I will stop by this week to take scrap home and drop off, and to take pictures:-) I am curious to see the bores measured to see if we can stay at 0.030" with honing only? This will save the cost of boring which will allow for a few unseen costs. Ryan

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
Did they say why the parts were scrap.....specifically the heads?

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
I am going after work tomorrow to inspect, and discuss.
A few of the combustion chambers are rusted badly, really deep pitting, a few ports are rusted bad, a few valves are broken off, a few studs are broken off..... Very bad set of heads, I may media blast them to make good wall art. Ryan PS: I got my warranty W31 from the engine stand to my car by myself:-) also packed up the flywheel for machining/balancing.

Try evaporust instead of media blasting. if you plan to race, might I suggest a centerforce flywheel. Your right foot will thank you.

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
What is wrong with the "scrap" crank did not take a long time to understand:-( Wiped right out.
Al and his daughter had bought this engine used, and installed it in an attempt to resurrect the car, it probably would have ran for a while but the bearings would have soon spun and seized the rotating assy. I hope the crank is good from the warranty short block..... I only had a few minutes to drop off items and check out the crank and vacate the dance floor. I did look on Summit for better quality flywheels....... I didn't have this in the budget........... more research required, possibly source a used piece and have it reworked and balanced? Ryan

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
I'm running a stock 3/8" connecting rods, cast iron crank and flywheel, shifting at 7000 rpm. I will go out on a limb and say you probably won't abuse your car as hard as I do. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]
In other words.......if the motor is built/balanced correctly, you really shouldn't have an issue......but never say never as the old saying goes. Kurt |
