Farmer Joe Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 so is that just a snubber for the front to back movement? Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 i assume that lower cover is super chrome powder....looks un cleared... i have experimented with uncleared super chrome....i have doen bumpers ...grill parts and engine tins....it only lasted about a year before it turned black.....finger prints on bare super chrome turn black even faster..engine parts dis colored in about 5 months...its too bad cause super chrome looks great with out clear ....then u clear it, which u have to for uv and staining and it washes it out to mildly polished aluminum...closer to raw alum.... i like the titans but the turbs look good on there....timet o do the titans a cool color... i got some six spokes titans from siq620 for a set of rallys i had kicking around off my 72 blazer, that i need to pic a color for.....

Siqx20 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I honestly dont think i can tuck the rallys :/ not without narrowing my axle and pulling my front fenders hard. Didnt take into account the neg offset. Opps lol. That and idk if i can fit 2" hardbidy drop spindles into a 15" wheel haha. Lesson learned :P I love the timing cover! And good job on the repair!

]2eDeYe Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Those turbines look sic! awesome color too!! :thumbup: Thanks, I need to get some different tires so that they will tuck. so is that just a snubber for the front to back movement? It will basically load the bolt so that it can't back out and somewhat capture it in double shear. That bolt sees a ton of side loading due to the opposing chains and this should take a lot of that side load off of the threads in the head. i assume that lower cover is super chrome powder....looks un cleared... i have experimented with uncleared super chrome....i have doen bumpers ...grill parts and engine tins....it only lasted about a year before it turned black.....finger prints on bare super chrome turn black even faster..engine parts dis colored in about 5 months...its too bad cause super chrome looks great with out clear ....then u clear it, which u have to for uv and staining and it washes it out to mildly polished aluminum...closer to raw alum.... i like the titans but the turbs look good on there....timet o do the titans a cool color... i got some six spokes titans from siq620 for a set of rallys i had kicking around off my 72 blazer, that i need to pic a color for..... uhhh....super chrome ya... i have no idea. I have had my grubby paws all over them and they still look the same as when I got them, so far so good. :lol: Titans are going black eventually for my other truck that's in pieces. I got a set of those rallys in the shed, they came with a set of rollers I picked up for my jeep. Not sure what those will go on yet. Probably go on this regular cab pickup I got my eye on. I honestly dont think i can tuck the rallys :/ not without narrowing my axle and pulling my front fenders hard. Didnt take into account the neg offset. Opps lol. That and idk if i can fit 2" hardbidy drop spindles into a 15" wheel haha. Lesson learned :P I love the timing cover! And good job on the repair! Whoops, you can always trade the rallys for a set of Titans. :lol: Thanks, should keep this motor going for a long time and saves me from having to toss an otherwise good head. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 it just looks uncleared....it looks fantastic like my uncleared parts....it just doenst last was all i was pointing out.. there are alot of shops that do that procedure no clear... me personally would just wish they would change the name.....everyone asks for the chrome powder and i show them and they say that dont look like chrome... isay i know....ps it deonst turn black like balck black .. it just gets cloudy and kinda shady and eventually stains out....i hate near chrome for engine stuff. as it incredibly thick film build is terrible at both dissapating heat...and holding up to heat....im just hones iwth my custmers so they dont get sprised in a year or two....most shops just tell customers what they wanna hear...

]2eDeYe Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Got a bunch of stuff done this weekend. Motor is mostly buttoned up. Got a new carrier bearing and a spacer installed. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hey Steve would be into making me a couple of those spacers for the carrier bearing... I really dont have the cutting and or place to make them.. Let me know thanks .... Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sure I could make a couple. How many do you need? Quote Link to comment
w_datsun_a Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 How much can you lower a 620 before you consider spacing the carrier bearing and how much did you end up spacing it? Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 How much can you lower a 620 before you consider spacing the carrier bearing and how much did you end up spacing it? alot.. most people will start spacing it up around the time they get 3in or bigger blocks. i havnt spaced mine up, and ive lowered my truck a shitload in the back. imagine the axle resting halfway through where the stock frame used to be. the truck is notched for it to be this low..

]2eDeYe Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yep, like Farmer Joe said, 3" blocks are what I'm running, didn't really have to space it but I was in there anyways. 1" spacer is the best, I think I used a 1 1/2" spacer cause I had it laying around. I will have to measure it though to be sure. Got my new rubber motor mounts in and took care of a few other issues last night. Hopefully have it back on the ground and running tonight. Dave, if you want me to make you a couple of spacers shoot me a PM. :) Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 All back together. Runs awesome, no more rattle. I was able to torque the idler sprocket to spec, had to use a bit of jb weld on crush nut for the load screw, as it's not really designed for this application. :lol: Quote Link to comment
